THAT'S GOOD ...
I can be confused with Tiger Woods on the golf course when ... I make an eagle.
The shot I dread most on the golf course is ... the four-footer.
My strangest moment on the golf course was ... when I almost stepped on a rattlesnake.
The strangest thing that has happened to me on a Golfest trip was ... almost choking to death on a piece of meat during Golfest 2008 on opening night. We ate dinner at the MAD JACK STEAKHOUSE and for whatever reason, the steak became wedged in my throat. The next day I had to pull off the golf course and go to the emergency room. The doctor performed out-patient surgery on me immediately. Said I could have died. (NOTE: Hence the nickname -- "The Choker")
My (best) shining moment on the golf course was when ... when I scored back-to-back eagles in a scramble tournament in Reno.
If I could add or change anything about a round of golf, I would ... only keep score for 16-holes.
My fantasy foursome would include ... Phil Mickelson, my golfest buddies Jeffrey Adkins and Jim Allen, and me.
