THAT'S GOOD ...

I can be confused with Tiger Woods on the golf course when ... when I hit the fairway.


The shot I dread most on the golf course is
... the fried egg sand shot.


My strangest moment on the golf course was ... participating in a "anything goes" golf event at the Saratoga Country Club.  It was a test of ones concentration levels during a round of golf.  There are some pretty strange things said, thrown, hurled, belched, passed and sprayed on you during your swing.


The strangest thing that has happened to me, or I have seen on a Golfest trip was
... witnessing a hole-in one at the Kiawah Island Ocean Course.  (Rickey actually photographed the swing by Mark Suzda that went into the hole).


My (best) shining moment on the golf course was
...  a phenomenal up and down from the left side, green side hill, coming out of the rough on #18 at the Rivera Country Club during the Pro-Am Nissan Open in 2002.  It was fun to tip the hat at the gallery for their ovation.


If I could add or change anything about a round of golf, I would
... have had my foot healed for the 2002 Nissan Open Pro-Am.


My fantasy foursome would include
... Christy Kerr, Michelle Wie and Tiger Woods.  Nah, replace Tiger with Leanne Rymes.
