Gee, reading Mac's post, I realized I even got to play at High Pointe, now with TD, but only him tagging along for a few holes...(which given HP, is never going to happen again) and with the Emperor at RC a couple of times, and that includes at Barona and RC with the inimitable Dan King and the Emperor.
I guess when I think of it in those terms, I've already played out the realistic scenario of those many legendary GCA posters from the Godfather of Carmel to the Produce man, and Big Red and all his NE buddies. So, rather than make this a "I love you man" sort of tribute to all the GCAers I've loved before....
My dream foursome has to include a place and a post round evening dinner, and here is how it would go....
David Feherty unplugged, Ken Venturi, Mario Batalli, and me. It would be on the new Doak course at DR, and our caddies would be, Fluff Cowan for Feherty, Jim Nance for Venturi, Bobby Flay for Batalli, and Tom Doak for me for the "local knowledge" aspect...
The bets would be a match between the pros Feherty and Venturi (now a handicapped competition) for looser who tells at dinner, the best never shall be public inside humorous story from their career golf experiences. And a match between me and Batalli for looser prepares dinner for the rest of we players and caddies, at the DR kitchen with unlimited pantry and wine list the 7 course dinner of their choosing. If I'm cooking, Batalli and Flay are my sous chefs. (apple juice for Feherty) and we all can't leave the table or firepit until midnight!!!
That is about it for me....
