Heretofore, I've never felt compelled to share this with the treehouse, but I had the good fortune of making David's acquaintance when he played in a collegiate event at Golf Club of Tennessee many years ago. In an unusual twist, the players were provided caddies and since the club did not have a sufficient number on staff, I volunteered and somehow drew David's bag. He turned out to be a fun and delightful young man with a keen intellect to go along with a strong golf game - a totally different personna than that portrayed by the wrap-around sunglasses and aloof demeanor.
We have stayed in touch though surprisingly have never teed it up together. I sent him an e-mail alerting him to this thread, knowing full well that like me, he would get a big kick out of it. David doesn't really give a crap what he shoots. He has prospered financially, invested wisely and relishes the role of family man. He looks at golf much like I do, appreciating the opportunity to play and enjoying every minute of it notwithstanding some dimishment in his playing skills and the attending frustration that all of us feel as our handicaps slip and our muscles occasionally ache.
So proceed with your cheap shots to both his amusement and mine. Just bear in mind he gets the last laugh.
Kindest regards,
Bogey
