Sir, you are hear for driving without a license. do you have a license? "No comprende", was his answer. Judge Koo asked if anyone could translate. an elderly lady volunteered and repeated the question. "No", he replied. Judge Koo, to the interpreter, tell him ten days in jail. the man blurts out in english, "i can't spend ten days in jail!" Judge Koo, make it thirty. anyway, after watching him put ten or twelve people away for ten or more days, my name is called. looking around one last time for the cop that cited me i approached the bench. fortunately i wasn't there for driving without a license. how do you plead. guilty i said. a small fine and traffic court. i was in my twenties then. i'm in my seventies now. but i will never forget Judge Koo and that day in his court.Guilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443109105122515869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-89883734728927312302013-04-15T11:27:25.584-04:002013-04-15T11:27:25.584-04:00DiVecenzo was not DQ'd.

Greg Norman and the 9th on Sunday in 96 ends it all. <br /><br />Norman led at the end of all rounds and started Sunday with a lead of six. He bogeyed the eight and then stood over his second shot approach to the 9th- a nice par 4 about 450 yards long. A beautiful tee shot left Norman a 100 yards to the green. But everyone knows the 9th green has a shelf and you MUST land it past the flag- anything short would be a disaster. Norman apparently forgot this and chipped to the front of the green where the ball landed a few yards short of the flag. And then it started to roll, and roll, and roll, and when it was done it almost seemed as if the ball had rolled half way down the fairway. Norman was so unnerved he bogeyed the ninth and went on a a collapse of epic proportions- 3 bogeys and two double bogeys between 8 and 12. <br /><br />And nine shook him up the most. it was where he could have stopped the leaking after 8, or where the plug would come out and the ship would sink. He sank.

It turned the tournament around as the old Bear roared one last, great time. The shot settled 7 feet from the hole and as Jack slammed that eagle putt home suddenly he was down two and charging. <br />And look what the leader Ballasteros did playing in the group behind. Exact same shot- hit it into the water. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1488635216019044532013-04-14T12:27:52.032-04:002013-04-14T12:27:52.032-04:00Steve Stricker is the best player on tour period. ...Steve Stricker is the best player on tour period.

The great golf champ and masters co-founder Bobby Jones self assesed a one stroke penalty in the US OPEN when an official told him not to. Jones said he knew made the penalty. Jones lost the US open that year by one stroke. Every year the most prestegious award the PGA gives is the Bobby Jones award for the player who most upholds the integrity of the game. Many players say its the highest honor they can receive. <br />Hope that answers your question. Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.com
