I met him when I was at Pebble Beach in 2001. First thing I was impressed with is he is a big man, 70 back then and was very friendly. He was on the putting green and apparently nobody noticed him, so I was half not wanting to disturb him so I grabbed a couple balls and began putting. I somehow made two back to back 30 or so footers and I hear a voice, "can ya teech ma how ta putt like that?" I took off my hat and said, "I'm just acting like a good golfer, pleasure to meet you Mr. Connery."
We talked for like maybe a minute or so about how much a fan I was of his Untouchables character I was, as I was from Chicago. As he walked away heading to the tee, he said "remember lad when he pulls a knife you pull a gun, have fun today." Special day at PB anytime, but that was cool. Back then there were no selfies or phones. I actually had a kodak disposable camera I brought with me that day to take a few photos of the course in my bag. I don't regret not grabbing a photo as it is clear in my head and the memory is as clear as any photo could ever be.
RIP to Sir Sean Connery.
