THAT'S GOOD ...I can be confused with Tiger Woods on the golf course when ... I tip the caddy and clutch my fist in disgust at how much I had to pay the weasel.
The shot I dread most on the golf course is ... a three-wood approach shot on a narrow fairway.
My strangest moment on the golf course took place ... at the Heritage Club. Jim Allen and Mark Suzda were throwing pine cones at a live alligator to agitate it while I was trying to take a close up picture.
The strangest thing that has happened to me on a Golfest trip was ... getting hit in the leg with a golf ball that Jim Allen was attempting to hit out of the bunker. Here is the STRANGE PART: I was standing BEHIND Jim at the time.
My (best) shining moment on the golf course was when ... chipping in a birdie on the last hole of a Lake Havasu Golf
Tournament in 1983 to win it out right. My drunken Golf buddy Bob Jenkins kissed me. (EDITOR NOTE: Wouldn't that qualify as a "strange" moment also?)If I could add or change anything about a round of golf, I would ... get rid of slow play. I would like to be able to finish 18 holes of golf in 2 hours or less.
My fantasy foursome would include ... Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples and me.
