Golf star accepts challenge in Design District

LPGA star Jessica Korda took over the Miami Design District’s Palm Court Saturday for the Don’t Crack Under Pressure challenge presented by Golf Digest and Tag Heuer. More than 150 golf enthusiasts, including Girls Golf, the University of Miami Golf Team, and Johnson & Wales University Women’s Golf Team, cheered on Korda as she took on three unique challenges including: Pressure Art in which she “painted” an abstract canvas by hitting foam golf balls dipped in neon paint; Hang Time, where she hit a number of foam balls over an eight-foot flop wall set up in Palm Court; and Pressure Putting, a putting green challenge for three-foot, six-foot and nine-foot putts.

PEACE AT LAST

Lil Wayne hosted the party Sunday at LIV at the Fontainebleau. Also in the building was Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman, who got on stage with Wayne to announce that the feud between the two is over and that they will be working on several projects together in the near future.

HEADING OUT

Scott Stapp really is on the road to recovery. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Boca Raton-based Creed rocker, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder last year, said he was feeling good and taking life “one day at a time.” So good that the Couples Therapy alum will kick off his Proof of Life Tour in St. Petersburg Friday (the Florida show is sold out), and will stop off at venues through the Midwest and the East Coast for a month.
