Welcome to GCA Kevin Drum
« on: March 20, 2011, 07:12:36 PM »
My friend Kevin is now ready to add his voice to the group.  He runs a company called Drum Marketing Solutions as well as working at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Golf Association promoting tourism.  That was a slight challenge last year, as you can imagine.  He is the son of the legendary journalist Bob Drum who egged his good friend Arnold Palmer on to his only U.S. Open crown - and more or less invented the modern Grand Slam - among many, many other adventures. 
I wouldn't say GCA is his primary interest of the golf realm - but he is quite keen on it as you will see in his upcoming post on Tom Bendelow. 
Anyway, lets give him a nice welcome.

Welcome Kevin!  I enjoyed meeting your father a few times on Grand Bahama Island, at the Emerald and Lucayan clubs.
Look forward to your posts.

Kevin:

Welcome -- and good luck with that Gulf Coast thing!

I met your dad many years ago when I was just starting to get around the golf business.  He was a legend among his peers and rightly so.

Welcome Kevin! I had the good fortune of spending a wonderful, rollicking afternoon in your dad Bob's company, with a fellow caddie buddy of mine, at a World series of Golf Fall event held at Olympic Club back in the 90's. He held court in the grill room there that day and this history/journalism major had an afternoon I'll never forget! Dad was a prince and his stories had us both laughing and spellbound on that memorable day.

It's a darn good crew on here most of the time. So put on the armor and thrust and parry when the spirit moves you!

Cheers,
Kris

You're a GCA?

The last thing we need around here is somebody who knows what they're talking about!

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome and the kind words on my dad. I will work on my run on senteces and try to not get on the soap bix to much. I apologize in advance - my dad taught me a total disregard for the facts getting in the way of a good story so I sometimes lean that way but will try to ge tback on track with this facutally knowledgable group.
