Dream
On
I started to caddy back in 1978
at the tournament in Rancho Bernardo CA. The next week was the Colgate Dinah
Shore in Palm Springs. I showed up in hopes of being assigned a player, ...
Shoeless
Jo
Back in 1996 I had the pleasure
to work for Joanne Carner at the Nabisco Dinah Shore tournament in Palm
Springs. We made the cut but Joanne wasn't striking the ball well ...
A
Long Way Down
In 1995 the U.S. Women's Open
was held in Colorado Springs CO. at the Broadmoor. I was working for Debbie
Massey and my roommate, "Little Rick" Aune was toting for Caroline
Pierce ...
A
Lesson Learned
Locust Hill is a difficult
course. It has tight fairways and small fast greens. It is a position type
layout, especially on the greens. There are certain holes that you must stay
below the pin ...
Me or The Monkey?
Lori Garbacz. had
the reputation of saying and doing anything at anytime. This is one of those
times.
Muffin
The word was that Muffin was a bit of a character and you
never know what to expect, so I was ready for a challenging week.
Miss
"P"
We started out hot, 4 under
for the first 5 holes and tied for the lead. Then we came to a non-descript

Outside the tent Alice and a Korean stranger from the gallery were
in a heated discussion concerning the penalty and Kimmy refused to sign
her scorecard.

The Amazing Race
While boarding the bus, the vision of the
bare chested, sweaty driver puffing on a Canadian coffin nail induced a
sense of foreboding.
Bad
Luck Chuck
Wearing clothes
that always seemed two sizes too large, a five o'clock shadow at seven
in the morning and a ubiquitous scowl on his face, Chuck's
nickname was fittingly earned.
Eagle
Squared
We were
playing the S&H Golf Classic, circa 1985, at the Pasadena Yacht
and Country Club in St. Petersburg Florida and I was toting for Gail-Lee
Hirata.
Fore!
In days of
yore, what I consider the "dark ages" of my LPGA experiences,
we used to play the Bent Tree Ladies Classic in Sarasota Florida.
Lucky
Break
This was Laura's second full year on tour
and her prowess with the driver was well known. This day was no
exception.
Who
the Hell are You?
Lori
Garbacz and Larry Machia (Burfeindt Larry) were a volatile pair. Neither
one would back down in a confrontation, especially between themselves.
Shadow
Creek
The water wasn't all that
deep, but the narrow rickety bridge spanning it sloped precipitously
toward a potentially embarrassing situation.
Sounds
Fishy to Me
I
arrived early. The more I thought about it, this sounded like some kind of
a drug buy out of a NYPD Blue episode. Then I noticed a box next to the
car.
I
Take Mine Black
Unwrapping
the cellophane he let it fall to the ground. Little Frank, standing close
by, noticed Vern's transgression and immediately was in his face.
