Riddick Blows Off Golf With a Fortune 25 C-Level Executive

Atlanta, GA (Atlanta Business Journal) – A puzzling story developed yesterday in the upper echelon of Atlanta business society when Steve Riddick, former Pineapple Cup Captain, turned down an golf invitation given by a high level executive at Turner Broadcasting Systems, Inc.

According to sources continually paid and developed by the ABJ, the invitation included rounds at two exclusive courses in Sea Island, GA before returning via private jet on Sunday night. Spokesmen for the two corporate titans were mum on the details of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering necessary to prevent a full blown business society spat. However, Riddick did say that he “sucks at golf” and can “play golf anytime.”
