Three Crazy Weeks

Tues. March 22nd:
Played a practice round in Auburn Ga. for this week’s Hooters event. Family joined me while they were on spring break. I let Stormi my baby girl practice caddying for me for the first time. Darbi my oldest girl and Sissi my wife rode around in a cart and just giggled the whole time. Just striped it and shot 6-under on the front side. Ran out of daylight and unable to go on to the back. Too bad it was only a practice round.
 
Fri. March 25th:
I shot even par yesterday. Stormi did awesome both days. Paired with two great guys (Andy and Eric), told Stormi that if I got paired with crazies, she wouldn't be able to caddy but had great guys. It ended up that I was the biggest jerk in the bunch. Played 17 holes at even par and got darked out. Stood even after 35 holes. It looks like the cut is going to be real close to even so I have to sit on that all night. I hit it decent but just no putts are falling. You should see our hotel room! Stuff lying everywhere...clothes, hairbows, etc. We've learned not to sweat it. I am 100x blessed! It's so much fun having them with me.
 
Sat. March 26th:
I sweated the t-ball all night and all morning. It's a pretty tough t-ball. Stood up there and just piped it right down the middle. I knocked it on the green on the wrong deck, 35 feet away. Three jacked it and missed the cut. REAL disappointing. Spent Easter weekend with girls, they headed north back home and I headed south to Albany to prepare for next weeks event.
 
Thurs. March 31st:
Late tee time, rained out...
 
Fri. April 1st:
Still no first round, rained out again....
 
Sat. April 2nd:
I finally started my first round, seemed like the wind was blowing 100mph. I played 1, 2, 3 and round was called for wind, stood 1-under. They finally called the entire event due to wind. I have had a lot of tournaments called but none for wind. Heading home for the week.
 
Thurs. April 7th:
I spoke at our local Rotary Club luncheon. $1,000.00 donated in my honor, received a plaque and a pen. Got wind of a celebrity event that could be interested in me playing in L.A. at Riviera, The Emmy's Celebrity event. Talked with my potential agent, David Maraghy of SMI and arrangements were in the making.
 
Sat. April 9th:
All plans are finalized, I’m heading to L.A. in the morning.
 
Sun. April 10th:
I got up at 3:30 a.m. and drove to Atlanta for a 9:30 a.m. non-stop to L.A. A good friend Dr. Sohn met me at airport for a ride to the club, but I was delayed due to the airlines losing my clubs! Waited for the next plane to arrive and clubs were on board and fine. Still got in 18 holes that afternoon with a cool member at Riviera, Chris. Finished just before dark. Excited about actually staying in the hotel at the clubhouse at Rivieria. You'd think I would be so tired I couldn't stay awake but I was put up in the Dean Martin room at the clubhouse. Oh Dean-O would have been very disappointed, no liquor cabinet in the room. The history and the pictures in the hallways were unbelievable. I was up late just walking the halls looking at the pictures. Every great player in history has had his picture taken on the elevated 1st tee, ten feet from the clubhouse. I finally went to sleep a little after midnight, almost 24 hours after I left home.
