Hi Bonbon

The advertising should have started already. There is an advert on tv, seen it the past 2 weeks. The BSO banners should be up and about in town and stuff. I saw buses had adverts for the badminton tourney, I wonder if golf will get a chance too.

When I was in Phuket for the JWC, it was definitely all over the place, massive billboards and posters even in the airport. So far I have only seen banners in Sentosa itself.

Yes Adam will be back to defend. Funny how not many people know he's won 2 consecutive years, or know of him.

Here's some of the players, apart from the PGA Tour and the EPGA, we've also got a stellar line from the Asian Tour as well. Its a pretty good turn up. News is Mr Woods will attend 2009's, at the moment its family first.

Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera, Anton Haig, Lam Chih-Bing, Mardam Mamat, Liang Wen Chong, Scott Strange, Kane Webber, Prom Meesawat, Vijay Singh, Nick O'Hern, Shingo Katayama, K.J. Choi, Lee Westwood, Michael Campbell, Darren Clark, Charles Howell III, Anthony Kang, Unho Park, Marcus Both, Charl Schwartzel, M Murugiah, Shiv Kapur, Thongchai Jaide, Lu Wen Teh

Its a pity Retief isn't coming this year. Probably preparing for the Nedbank tourney in Sun City.

Will you be attending Bonbon? Thanks for posting

See you there! I am so excited! :D

yap will be there, trying to get some tickets at the moment. Not sure I can get away saying I'm under 18 :lol:

I would love to see Campbell, missed him last year :( .

Did you memorise all the names by heart or something :wink: . What about VJ ?

Good luck with the tickets. Its going to be chockers I think. I am trying to get my cousin to come with me, she's under 18. Give it a shot Bonbon ;) Try Ngee Ann City, they have tickets.

PM me, if you want we can meet up. I will be following Ads' 3 some.

I didn't even know Michael was here last year! ha ha! It was a nail biting play off, god I was shaking just watching them. And doing my best to shout Oi Oi Oi amidst the SA chants, one woman's voice against big burly SA men, I was well drowned!

I did see Michael at the WGC in Hertfordshire last year 2 weeks after the BSO though. He's an awesome player and a top person too.

I didn't memorize the names. ;) Vijay will be there as well. I just watched some of them play before.

Just a pity Tiger is the official beer for the event, I get such bad headaches with that brand. Last years Heinekens were superb!
