Tepper stuns Weiskopf !!

[mark chalfant]

I  just learned from a reliable source at ESPN that David Tepper beat Tom Weiskopf, in a low key match, that they contested recently on a pretty golf course in Northern California. The decisive shot came as Mr.Tepper hit a very crisp iron that threatened to go in the hole, near the end of their round. Mr Weiskopf was gracious in defeat, although earlier in the match he nearly threw a seven iron a short distance. None of the small gallery were hurt or startled.


Congratulations David  !

Mark is referring to a 8-iron that was lucky enough to go in the hole on the 3rd hole of the OC Cliffs Course Friday afternoon.

After winning a car for my 1st ace, the rest have seemed rather anti-climactic!

Mark -

Thanks for the kudos, but, in the immortal words of Bob Dylan, "it ain't me, babe."

Not only is there a David Tepper in the investment business who is far, far, far, far more successful than I am, it now looks like there is a David Tepper who is a better golfer than I am.

By the way, in neither case is that an especially notable achievement.

   STUNED?
   
   What did David do ......... hit him with a tazer? He was half asleep announcing The Open.

Nice job there David.

Next time at Lincoln I'll be taking some strokes ... thank you :-)

Great news! Congratulations, DT!

Congrats on the ace David. When you say lucky, are you referring to a ricochet off a ball-washer or bunker rake? How did the car come into the picture?

[Tiger_Bernhardt]

David great one. An ace is an ace. Ask Ace McBride.

David great one. An ace is an ace. Ask Ace McBride.

Ask yourself...

...and who gets the credit for the assist

EVERY hole-in-one is a lucky shot!
I did spend an extra 3-5 seconds checking my alignment for that shot, so there was some effort involved.
I am much more pleased with the 28 I shot over the 9 holes than the ace.

For my first ace, at the 1996 Santa Cruz City Amateur, I won a Honda Civic hatchback that I am still driving, cracked windshield and all.

David,

How long did it take you to get re-instated?

It took a little less than 2 years.
I can send you my press clippings from the Santa Cruz Sentinel if you are really interested!

I don't know about the luck, I am still waiting for my first ace.

Well you've certainly gotten your money's worth from the car.
