Lowest Round: A 67 at Stansbury Park Golf Course. It was a brilliant day that featured two-eagles; one on a par-5 and another when I flew it in the hole from 150-yards on a par-4.

Estimated number of rounds played in a year: 50 ... I'm slowing down some! (EDITOR NOTE: That is more than a 50% drop in rounds during the past five-years.)

THAT'S GOOD ...

I can be confused with Tiger Woods on the golf course when ... when I cuss after a bad shot!

The shot I dread most on the golf course is ... a tee shot with water on the right.

My strangest moment on the golf course was ... shanking a shot out of the rough on a par-5 14th at Pebble Beach into a picture window of one of the multi-million dollar homes.

The strangest thing that has happened to me, or I have seen on a golf course was ... watching a friend of mine rip a 7-wood into the 150-yard marker pole in the middle of the fairway; knocking it OB and losing the hole.

My (best) shining moments on the golf course was ... a pair of hole-in-ones. One at Stanbury and another at the Talon Course at Greyhawk (Scottsdale, AZ).

If I could add or change anything about a round of golf, I would ... enact the death penalty for slow play.

My fantasy foursome would include ... My father, Tiger Woods, and Jack Nicklaus.
