TODAY WE HAVE A LOOK AT HOW A FEW BUSINESSES DID OVER MASTERS AND HOW THEIR FUTURE LOOKS...

ONE INVOLVES GOLF AND THE OTHER FOOD.... I'M HUNGRY, SO LET'S START WITH GOOD EATS....

OY..WHAT A WEEK FOR A FORMER SPONSOR OF THE BUZZ...CHEF JEFF FROM CUTIE PIE'S AND GARLIC CLOVE IN EVANS....
HE GOT TO BE THE PERSONAL CHEF OF CBS' JIM NANTZ FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR... SERVING HIM PECAN ENCRUSTED TILAPIA...WITH SKEWERS OF SHRIMP, SALMON, AND SCALLOPS...AND TARAMUHZOO FOR DESSERT...
HE ALSO CATERED MOST DAYS AT A HOSPITALITY TENT...NEAR THE NATIONAL... PLUS HE OVERSAW BOTH OF HIS RESTAURANTS...THE GARLIC CLOVE DID VERY WELL....WITH ONE SLIGHT SETBACK...
THE BUZZ WAS A HOSPITALITY REP FOR HONDA MOTORCYCLE CORPORATE....WAS GOING TO BOOK THE RESTAURANT FOR 5T HOUSAND DOLLARS...BUT THE DEAL DIDN'T GET DONE....
OH..HE ALSO PREACHED SUNDAY AT HIS CHURCH... ALL IN A WEEK'S WORTH... AND THERE'S MORE COMING UP...

JUST LIKE WITH HIS THANKSGIVING EVENT TO BENEFIT AREA FOOD BANKS... THE BUZZ IS CHEF JEFF WILL BE GIVING BACK TO AREA STUDENTS....HE'S IN TALKS TO JOIN THE FACULTY OF AIKEN TECH AND OVERSEE A CULINARY PROGRAM THERE....
THIS IS PRETTY FITTING FOR SOMEONE ABOUT TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF RUNNING RESTAURANTS LIKE THE ONE HERE AT GARLIC CLOVE.
LOOK FOR A HUGE CELEBRATION WITH FOOD, DRINKS, AND ENTERTAINMENT THIS SUMMER TO CELEBRATE HIS 30 YEAR MILESTONE.

ANOTHER COMPANY IS JUST GETTING STARTED IN EVANS.... THEY INVENTED THE CLUB CADDY AND THEIR LIVES ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE AFTER 12 YEARS OF DEVELOPING THIS PRODUCT.
NEXT MONDAY THE DAVID AND HELEN JONES' INVENTION WILL BE IN NATIONAL AND LOCAL SPORTING GOODS STORES LIKE DICK'S AND BONAVENTURE SPORTS....
THE JONES' WON A GOLF CHANNEL CONTEST CALLED "FORE" INVENTORS ONLY....

THEIR WEBSITE THECLUBCADDYDOT COM IS ALSO GETTING REVAMPED.... BUT YOU CAN GET A SENSE OF HOW THE 20 DOLLAR GADGET WORKS...
IT CLIPS ONTO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CLUBS...SO THAT WHEN YOU LINE UP YOUR NEXT SHOT...YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR CLUBS STANDING UPRIGHT.. MUCH EASIER TO REMEMBER YOUR CLUBS AND DRY FROM THE GROUND'S MOISTURE.
KUDOS TO THE JONES'....THEY COULD BECOME MILLIONAIRES...
