Two sports legends are taking the plunge this weekend. Tennis player Chris Evert and golfer Greg Norman are getting married on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The couple have had a bit of wedding drama it seems – at the very last minute they decided to change the location of the ceremony – seemingly to keep the paparazzi at bay.
Australian golfer Norman and American tennis star Evert, both 53, were expected to tie the knot at a sunset ceremony on a private beach on Paradise Island. But the couple, who are reported to have sold the wedding rights, have switched to a nearby fenced off area, to avoid media attention.
A host of celebrities are expected to attend the lavish wedding, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., singer Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale, Kenny Loggins and comedian Chevy Chase. Other famous faces who have been invited include tennis players Lleyton Hewitt, Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and Ms Evert’s former fiancé Jimmy Connors.
Both Norman, whose nickname is The Great White Shark, and Evert have been married before. She has two ex-husbands, while the acrimonious disintegration of Norman’s marriage to his first wife Laura Andrassy made the headlines in 2006.

Well if you’ve got Loggins there, you know you’re made in the shade. You don’t need anything else at that wedding; no décor, gourmet food, nothing. You’ve got Kenny.
Greg Norman had quite the acrimonious legal battle with his ex-wife Laura Andrassy. According to the Daily Mail, he canceled her credit cards and changed the locks on their $36 million mansion. But she eventually got a $100 million settlement.
The Daily Mail asked her for a comment (which I’m sure she was thrilled about) and she responded, “‘I have no wishes for them except to say they deserve each other.’” Ouch. Hopefully the next round will go better for the both of them.

Old love. Very touching.
I hope they have good maternity facilities on Paradise Island, since Gwen Stefani looks to be about 5 minutes from delivering.
And those second kids come quickly – whoosh!
Old? 53? Sheesh!
They are so cute together and they look really happy. Best wishes to them.
A very handsome couple…
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for sites about tennis and your post looks very interesting for me.
You need a bigger grip. The grips on these new clubs are a lot smaller than the old wraps and even the non-leathers of the past. If you feel like you have to squeeze to hold on you need a bigger grip. Woods are better nowadays but what is not are these cavity back irons. I just bought my first set of them this season and I will not return next season. To go from muscle-back blades to cavity is rediculous. When you can strike the ball with some consistency the CB’s just send the ball straight up into the air, way higher than a blade. It’s as if you HAVE to hit them off-center to get a punchy straight shot. I’m venting I know but I feel like the equipment that they are phasing out was better than this new junk made for golfers that can’t play anyway.
Getting meticulous can add focus. I think you’ll find that the better you get in this game called golf, the cleaner you will keep your clubs. For the most part anyway. Wiping them off after each shot on the course is part of becoming that better golfer. Otherwise stick em in a bucket of water once a year. That’s not really very good for metal. I’ve not seen many good players with filthy clubs.
This has been really interesting, thanks for that. I love this blog theme too!

Looks like Tiger Woods has lost his touch at the moment. What a terrible finish in the Florida Championship.
Thanks!There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration.
That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration
but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing
will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know
if best practices have emerged around things like that,
but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
