However, the opening of the World Golf Village threw him a few new ones. Breashears was invited to introduce his film. He flew in from Hawaii and arrived at the John Q. Hammons Hotel yesterday morning, only to be asked to please wait a bit. Fortunately, the hotel chain's Regional Vice President Bill Mead overheard the check-in and intervened. ''Go on up to your room,'' said Mead. Nice but not quite enough.
Rooms are smaller in size but nicely appointed with attractive usage of the crossed golf clubs logo.
Toilet paper rolls in the Presidential Suite, for example, are sealed with logo'd gold medallions. Didn't see any of the terry robes one comes to love at the Ritz, but then you don't get TVs in the bathrooms up there. Devon Brennan and Bob Krempler , both of Ponte Vedra Beach, had the ace assignment. Not to mention entertainment as guests tried to hit balls onto the green. Fastest disappearing freebies are the tee-shaped pens in rooms at the Resort Hotel.
