I stumbled across this on YouTube tonight by pure chance...

It has probably been posted here before, but I don't care.  I absolutely love the humanity.  Geoff chose a perfect melody to accompany the home videos.

Delightful thanks.




"Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain"





Edit

I love the internet.  This of course send me off to see what there is about Hoagy Carmichael, the tunes' composer.  I found this.



In 1952, Carmichael has a priceless experience while playing golf. Scoring a hole-in-one with witnesses at the Bel Aire Country Club. After cheering dies he exclaims: "Wait, let me hit another; I think I've got it!"

Can anyone think of any particular comparison or contrast why a man like Thomas would become world class at GCA and growing hybrid roses some of which became world class?

What else do you know about what made George Thomas's life mentionable or even remarkable?

[Ed Oden]

I ran a search for something unrelated tonight and this old thread popped up.  Thought I would bump it just because I love the combination of Thomas' home video and Carmichael's classic melody.

Nice! Why, just today Rory McIlroy paid homage to The Captain:

If those had been roses it would have hurt even more.

What did he make from back there?  Getting it to stay on the green would have been 100:1.

Landed it a couple of feet on the green, ball stopped, then u-turned, gently rolling to a stop just off. His approach hit a sprinkler head and boingo-ed into the garden. The funny part was, after his shot he's sort of stumbling down to the green when the cameraman called out nice shot.

Bogey. Just missed a ~15 footer.

I think it was a double. Poor Rory just couldn't catch a break today.

Ed,

Bogey.

You must be thinking of 4, where he hit the fence in the woods on the other side of 5 tee.     BTW how awesome is masters.com? If you go to the leaderboard and click on a player, then click on one of the hole scores posted in green, you are able to watch video of every shot the player took on that hole. Awesome!
