“I used to be his paperboy. I gave it to you in person once. You said, ‘Thank you, pardner.’ You remember that, right?”
- Bill Hogue seeing Elvis in Gould’s Day Spa and Salon

Photo by Mike MapleWhile visiting the Most Soothing Spa, Gould’s Day Spa and Salon, Elvis asks for a manicure from Julie Greene.

“I need this desperately.”

She’s got time for one nail. He sings Don’t Be Cruel, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s got another customer — a paying customer.

Elvis displays his newly buffed pinkie.

“Just look at him, he’s so beautiful,” says Melissa Williams.

So there.

Southwind is a Memphis Most winner in two categories — Most Gorgeous Golf Course and Most Impossible Par. They also get high marks for good advice.

Elvis, cape gloriously spread and driver held high, watches his shot skitter a few yards across the grass. Teaching pro Will Taylor shouts from across the range, “It’s in the hips, Elvis.”

Dang. He knew that.
