    I saw Jack, Freddie, and others at the old Fred Meyer Challenge in 89. A highlight was on a Par 3, the Walrus hit it stiff, the crowd went nuts, then Stadtler looked at his caddie and asked “How close?” “Three feet”…he scoffed, spiked his club in the tee box, and stormed waddled away. We were close enough to hear the convo…

    I was close enough to fist bump Tiger but Tiger didn't fist bump fans in 98 or 07. He was still Tiger, not the affable senior statesmen he is now. Pure focus as he walked by.

    At that same WGC, Azinger hooked his drive into the trees where we were standing. He comes in to play it and smoke is coming out of his ears. Just pissed off. People couldn't help but take a step back. Normally I might make a smart ass comment but I didn't want to get my ass kicked. He takes about 5 seconds to put it back in the fairway and storms on after it

    I used to love watching that on TV but was still young and pour during the best years and never went. Peter Jacobson was a favorite of mine being somewhat local, and he always brought in most/all of the stars at the time.

    Last Oct @MrsSnow and I took the last seasonal flight from White Wakanda down to SAN to spend a romantical weekend at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Classy hotel for those who've never been. As I was poking around the pro shop and looking out onto the fairways I thought of Tiger's gimpy ass knee.

    Was there for a wedding several years back…can confirm

    The gals are coming back to Sahalee next year. Course looks very different than anyone has seen it previously. Lots of tree removal, the egregious ones on #11 and #12 are gone. Plus a full renovation of every bunker.

    That swing didn't look any harder than mine feels. I just don't understand. Fuck!
