The ultimate contrast in dress:  Going 'Muni' with the jeans and hiking boots, and 'Trump' with the windshirt of a course with a $500,000 initiation fee.

Scott:

  You are only off by 50%...the fee is now $750,000!

Wow, I never saw that resemblance, Jay, but you are spot on there.  You may want to edit your post to reflect the addition of Chris Chambers, though. :)

Cheers,

Here's one of the funniest jokes about Norv Turner, you have to sit through a ten second ad first, but it's a hoot.

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!


With apologies to all concerned
But I did think that with his dress sense TD is clearly a complicated man.

Jay,

You nailed it on the Norv Turner thing, makes your first post make better sense now.   ;)

As for the avatar, its not Page.

Here are some hints:  Think of a more recent group, say based out of England.  He's married to Gwyneth Paltrow.   ;D

Nice Kalen!  Great photo too.  By the way...if there is anyone who's earned the right to wear denim on the course...or a yellow shirt for that matter...it's Tom.

Nancy, on the other hand...

Yup. You heard right. I invite the SOB out here to see the course and play a casual match and he says its only fair if we switch clubs. Then he DEMANDS strokes. He must have given himself the moniker ' Golf's Most Beloved Figure'.

My first thought was "Ladies love hickory shafts" but that didn't sound appropriate, so unfortunately, I came up with a couple of others:

1.  "I can't believe that I finally get to meet Hamilton Hearst today!!!"
2.  Headline:  "Dale Earnhart out, Tom Doak in as new Wrangler Man."
3.  "Those guys on GCA are such dorks!!!"
4.  "Where's a dozer, I gotta shape something!!!!"

I am done now.
