I have a soft spot for this guy, having sneaked in to more things than I can count, under various guises (guyses???) and ruses over the years. The top for me was at the old Fred Meyer Challenge that Peter Jacobson ran in Portland. I could take an hour with the whole story, but it ended with eating a couple lobster tails with my hands, and dancing with Payne Stewart's wife while he was playing in a band on stage at the banquet...free beer, free lobster, free golf watching, and I met Jack Nicklaus, thanks to a casual conversation with a former Sec. of State for Oregon...csb

That is a cool story. Sounds like a Kramer story

Another tidbit...I was going to stop in and visit my parents afterward, and called (on a payphone in the clubhouse) to tell them I would be a day late. My Pops answered the phone, and the first thing out of his mouth was "Are you wearing a yellow shirt?"...I was, and he saw me on TV...

That is an amazing story.

I call what this homeless dude did at USC and @Fishpo31 at the golf tournament “Costco Confidence”. What I mean by that is if you act like you belong there, few people will mess with you (back in the day my friends and I would always wave cheerfully to the employees at the front door of Costco and waltz right in even though we weren’t members).
