Hmm?

Good Ball

Ok, so the Bag, Hat, Glove etc, All of your clubs, you thought of everything.

Nice Hat.

That Bag has a "Heart Defibrillator" compartment.



What about the Spikes?

Good Luck Ted. You're the Best.

I did hold back comment on the winner between Fruit of the Loom versus Haynes, since we may have women and children present.

The bag has a great Bose sound system and an I-Pad compartment. It's cool when you press the button on the remote control and the club shoots out. I asked Bill Murray to caddy for me, and we're presently in contract negotiations.

Did you play in it in '95 Kev? Awesome.

I did play in 1995. Each round I was paired with a former champion of the event. Mr. Boyd was a gentleman that would fit right in here. He knew how to have fun, and was always concerned about everybody else in his group. A very memorable experience.

First round of the event at the Nicklaus Private course at PGA West. I hit all 9 greens on the front, two birdies, one three putt bogey. It all went south on the 10th hole, double. Around the 15th or 16th hole, par 5, three groups waiting on the tee. Drive up, lost, drive back, watched this over and over...

Finally our groups turn. I walk up to the tee with a 4 iron. Bob stops me.

BOB - Kevin, what the F are you doing?

ME - I'm playing safe. I don't want to lose my ball. Every body else is having such a hard time up there.

BOB - Kevin, you are 4 over par. What the F are you thinking? If you hit that 4 iron I'm never talking to you again! Go grab your driver, hit you a big one down the middle, make yourself an eagle and get back into this thing!

We all laughed, I grabbed my driver and smoked it down the middle. Made par but was proud of myself for trying. Ended up with 77 that day. I'll never forget Bob Boyd though...

Nice, Kev and I can't wait until you can show me that form or better, again.
Someday, after Cuscowilla!

Great memory, Kevin. I'm copying all my friends in the Carolinas with this. I never knew Bob Boyd, but I had three emails from friends who did within 24 hours of his death. I've since learned a whole lot about him and his life in golf.

His untimely death was a major loss. For those who knew him, your story will help ease the transition.

Thanks YODA!!

I took the wrappers off my new Mizuno JPX woods on Monday. I shot 71 with 2 birdies and one bogey, at the Piedmont Driving Club.

So, EVERY round that I have EVER played with my new woods has been under par!
