Feeling down about your game and need a motivational pick-me-up? Want to know what it's like to play in the Ryder Cup cauldron? Remember, there is always Cameo, the service that offers personalized video messages and direct calls. For $750 — the most expensive of Cameo's golf portfolio for personal calls — ol' John Daly will tell you to grip it, rip it and even sip it. The offering of personalities is quite eclectic, though, ranging from such accomplished players as Sergio Garcia, Annika Sorenstam, David Duval, Colin Montgomerie and Lexi Thompson to instructor Hank Haney, longtime PGA Tour official Mark Russell, Golf Channel host Tom Abbott and personality Roger Steele.
