Double bogey for Jupiter Island golfer Greg Norman!

Not only is he dealing with his separation from new wife Chris Evert, the Boca Raton-based former tennis star, but now he’s got a ticked off ex-wife to deal with.

Palm Beacher Laura Andrassy says the Great White Shark stiffed her in his yearly payment of their divorce settlement.

She contends in new paperwork filed in the Martin County courthouse in Stuart that his $2 million wire transfer to her June 15 was about $72,000 short. She asked a judge to force Norman to pay up, or order arbitration.

According to their contract, the ex-missus, a former flight attendant, will be $103 million richer by 2023 as a result of the agreement they signed when they were divorced two years ago.

So, what’s $72,000?

“It’s a substantial sum of money,” said Andrassy’s lawyer in West Palm Beach, Jack Scarola. “I have no desire to annoy Mr. Norman. But he has an obligation to meet his contractual commitments. If someone owes $72,000, just pay up.”

Norman’s divorce attorney, Jeff Fisher, declined comment. But in his response filed in court, Fisher wrote that Norman and his ex promised they’d seek arbitration for disputes instead of the court system.

Andrassy’s recent motion to enforce is nothing more than a “method to feed information (usually of a disparaging nature) about the former husband to the media.”

The $72,000 alleged shortfall, according to court papers, comes from the calculation of Andrassy’s share in Norman’s Colorado ranch, Seven Lakes Lodge. She’s supposed to get close to $780,000 a year for the ranch, but got much less.

Incidentally, Norman recently put the property on the market for $55 million.

The motion reopens the saga of golfer/vintner’s divorce, which was filed in June 2006 after Andrassy accused him of cheating on her with tennis champ Evert. Although Norman and Andrassy were officially divorced when he married Evert in June 2008, they’ve been ironing some of their differences since.

Florida Senate hopeful Nick Loeb dropped out of the District 25 race a day after Page2Live reported that his Swedish wife had filed for divorce.

Loeb tells The Palm Beach Post’s George Bennett that he’ll personally reimburse donors who contributed a total of more than $100,000 to his campaign.

He also tells Bennett that wife Anna Loeb ran into an old boyfriend in Sweden this summer and rekindled with that dude.

She filed for divorce Oct. 2, just weeks after getting picked up for DUI.

“I wish things could be different,” Loeb said.

Does this young woman appear distraught over her pending divorce?

Nick Loeb

Anna Loeb, the model-material wife of Florida Senate candidate Nick Loeb, filed divorce papers in a Palm Beach family court in Delray Beach, citing “irreconcilable differences” as pictures of her partying in her native Sweden appeared online.

Trust-funder Nick and the bombshell were married four years ago in the office of West Palm Beach lawyer Michael Walsh, who now represents the former Anna Pettersson in the split.

Rumors were abounding all summer that the wannabe pol and the wife were splitsville. While the two were attached at the hip earlier in the campaign, Anna started spending more time in her native European country. Then pictures of her partying up a storm in Stockholm turned up on the Swedish nightlife site finest.se.

Tennis legend Chris Evert’s ex husband said Monday he’s happy.

And that’s somewhat of a novelty for Andy Mill, a 1970s Olympic skiing hero and a respected area deep-sea fisherman.

Three years ago, he inked his side of his divorce settlement agreement with Evert in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom.

Depression set in.

Mill didn’t mind standing in Evert’s shadow. He once drank champagne in one of her high-heel shoes in public at the Boca Raton Resort.

But when it came to an abrupt end, Mill had a hard time.

“I cried routinely for close to three years,” the 55-year-old Mill said in an exclusive interview with Page2Live. “I loved my family. I loved Chris and our three sons and my life with them.”

And Mill, who now alternates between homes in Boca Raton and Aspen, Colo., still angrily blames his then-best friend, Jupiter Island golfer Greg Norman, for bringing misery to the life he loved.

Norman and Evert, who left their respective spouses for each other in 2006, announced Friday they were separated – 15 months after getting hitched on Paradise Island, The Bahamas.

These days, however, life is good for Andy Mill.

He’s engaged to, and lives with, a 40-year-old Aspen homemaker, Debra Harvick.

She, he says, is the loyal partner he always wanted.

“We do everything together,” Mill said while waiting for a flight to Florida so that he can check on his kids during the current firestorm. “We go hiking. We go bow-hunting. We go fishing. We go camping. She’s beautiful and a world-class chef. Deb has two kids herself.

“I didn’t know this when I got divorced, but I ended up happier than Chris, or Greg for that matter.”

When asked if he was surprised when he heard that Evert and Norman were on the outs, he said: “Nothing surprises me with those two. Look at the trail of destruction they left behind them for this fling.”

Despite the bliss, Mill says, he’ll never be able to forgive Norman, with whom he and Evert vacationed often. Once, Norman flew birthday boy Mill on his private jet to Augusta, Ga., to play a round of golf at Augusta National.

Comparing Evert and Norman to “two alpha dogs going at it,” Mill said there’s no doubt they’re headed for divorce court.

“And a divorce is like a golf swing,” Mill said. “It always makes somebody happy.”

Ross (Lannis Waters/The Palm Beach Post)

For former radio personality Jennifer Ross, it’s really the mean season.

She was fired earlier this week from her popular morning show on West Palm Beach’s WRMF-97.9 FM.

And now this: Her husband filed for divorce!

The divorce, according to the paperwork in Martin County, is uncontested and their 15-year marriage deemed “irretrievably broken.”

“They’ve had issues for the past two or three years,” said a friend of Ross’. “They were going to do it before, but they got back together.”

The two – Ross, whose real name is Elena Whitby, and her soon-to-be-ex, airline pilot Harvie Whitby III – told the court they’ve worked out most details.

The former morning jock gets their $400,000-home in the Stuart West neighborhood of Palm City. She’ll be the primary caretaker of her daughter with Whitby, and her child from a previous marriage.

Harvie, who was out of work for several years, won’t ask for alimony.

A week ago today, after the show she co-anchored with sidekicks Danny Czekalinski and Deena Lang, Ross was called in by station managers and told she’d be fired. She had a year and a half left on her contract. Her replacement is Detroit out-of-work jock Chad Mitchell.

Ross didn’t return calls. Whitby couldn’t be reached. Neither is represented by an attorney.

Patti

Because of a post-nup that guaranteed $5 million to his wife if Boca restaurateur Dennis Max cheated on her, again, the 2000 divorce between the owners of the iconic Max’s Grille in Mizner Park made national news.

Nearly 10 years later, the War of the Maxes isn’t over.

According to court records, Dennis now wants out of his obligation to pay ex-wife Patti 40 percent of the management fee for their popular Boca grill, which they co-manage.

“I don’t know what it’s all about,” said Patti’s lawyer, West Palm Beach divorce honcho Joel Weissman, about the court filing. “But I can guess that, since the economy has hit the restaurant business hard, there isn’t as much money as there used to be.”

Through the late 1980s and 90s, Dennis, 64, and Patti Max, 55, were considered visionaries in South Florida’s foodie biz. They introduced a healthier, more sophisticated California-style cuisine to the land of the greasy spoon. Caviar pies called to diners who otherwise would do burgers. At one point, the Maxes co-owned 17 joints throughout SoFla, including Cafe Max in Pompano Beach, Brasserie Max in Plantation and Max’s Grille in Palm Beach Gardens.

Dennis

But by his own admission, Dennis went through a mid-life crisis as the couple’s empire grew, and his roving eye came back to haunt him. He cheated on Patti, which led her to obtain the now famous post-nup then a divorce amid accusations that Dennis impregnated a Ukrainian beautician.

What Dennis now objects to is a clause in their settlement that reads he would have to pay Patti until the restaurant is sold. It was supposed to be unloaded months after the divorce. It never happened.

And now, Dennis wants Patti out. He paid her an undisclosed amount for years, said his lawyer, even though he didn’t have to.

“He’s just a nice guy,” said Boca attorney Phil Schwartz.“The way we read their marital settlement, he didn’t have to pay her beyond September 2001, when they were going to sell. Most people out there would have stopped paying.”

Nice payday for the ex-wife of former Florida Panthers hockey star Richard Zednik.

Welch

Stunning B-series actress and model Jessica Welch, 30, is set to receive $1 million cash from the player, plus $9,270 a month in support for their five-year-old daughter.

Not bad for a three-year marriage that officially ended today!

“She’s grateful it’s over,” said her lawyer in Boca, Doreen Yaffa.

The couple, whose home is in Delray Beach, settled in a Palm Beach County court amid allegations of domestic violence.

The Slovakia-born Zednik, 33, recently signed with a team in the Russian league and wasn’t available for comment. His lawyer, Dale Sanders, declined comment.

The torn lovebirds met in 2001, when Zednik played for the Montreal Canadians.

Yaffa noted that her client left a good film and television career in Canada when she moved with to Florida with Zednik in 2007.

“She gave up her film career to be his wife,” Yaffa said. “But it was a rocky marriage right from the start.”

David and his wife (Courtesy New York Magazine)

– Rough patch for captain of industry George David, whose UTC owns Palm Beach County’s second largest employer, Pratt & Whitney. The 67-year-old is going through a nasty divorce in Connecticut. The wife, Marie Douglas-David, wants $100 million to go away. And the dirty laundry aired out in court Tuesday, according to the Hartford Courant, included how David spent one weekend on the French Riviera with his mistress, a New York financial advisor, and the next in Paris with his wife. David averted disaster in Paris when, walking with his “ole’ lady”, he saw another couple who’d met him and his mistress on the Riviera. David made sure to steer is wife out-of-sight. The wife’s attorneys accuse David of going on a shopping spree with the mistress at the time he was trying to patch things up with the wife. The spree included $10,000 worth of Manolo Blahnik shoes and a $15,000-fur coat. Meanwhile, 11,600 of UTC’s employees could be shown the door this year.

— Palm Beach Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff has just arrived at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in the Raleigh-Durham, N.C., area. Madoff, 71, is scheduled to remain at the low to medium security facility until 2139, according to Bureau of Prisons records. The complex also includes a hospital.

McCarty

– Speaking of federal prison, the supporters of disgraced former Palm Beach County Commish Mary McCarty received this e-mail from her family after she checked into her new digs for the next five years, the Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a women’s camp in Texas. Corruption was her crime. Three and a half years the sentence. The e-mail: “Mary landed in Bryan Texas over the weekend.  Any cards or letters should be sent to the following address: Mary Ballard McCarty, Register #: 73341-004, FPC Bryan, PO Box 2149, Bryan, TX 77805. Should you have any questions regarding visitation, commissary funds, sending magazines/books, please don’t hesitate to contact us.”

Commissary funds? Or sure, let me send her five bucks right now!

It’s back to the future for links Leviathan Greg Norman.

Part-time vintner and developer Norman and his wife Chris Evert, the tennis legend, have found a new love nest.

Chris Evert and Greg Norman

And it’s the same love nest that Norman shared with the wife he divorced in 2007 when he took up with Evert.

Boca Raton’s coosome twosome – they’ve been living in the Boca home that Evert once owned with her ex, former Olympic skier Andy Mill – is moving to Norman’s Jupiter Island home, according to several sources close to the couple.

The palatial Martin County home, a 9-bedroomer just one hole away from fellow golfer Tiger Wood’s new digs, has been on the market for nearly two years. Sale price for the 8-acres beach-to-Intracoastal estate now stands at $40 million, from $65 million originally.

But with no buyer in sight, Norman and his bride of one year are about to have the home, dubbed Tranquility, gutted and rebuilt.

There’s also a plan to redo the basketball court into, you guessed it, a tennis court.

No wonder Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade seems distracted at times this playoff season.

Rumors that his paramour, actress Gabrielle Union, recently was or currently is expecting his lovechild have been dogging Wade – this, as he fights through a nasty divorce with his high school sweetheart.

While Union, 36, denied it on a black entertainment website – “I love my margaritas too much,” she said – I’m told Wade’s soon-to-be-ex wife, Siohvaughn, went ballistic when Wade, 26, told her about the new baby. Especially since Siohvaughn accused the NBA’s top scorer in court documents of not taking care of the two rug rats they have together.

Siohvaughn told one of Olympic hero Wade’s former business partners in Fort Lauderdale that she was convinced Union was with child. Siohvaughn, who isn’t talking directly with the press after Wade filed a lawsuit in their hometown of Chicago demanding that she keep her mouth shut, also said Wade later claimed the pregnancy announcement was an “april fool’s joke.”
