You had to research that Snead had the most wins in PGA history?
Looks like a rough night for Heim.
First he said it was Book's first start at ND, it's his 2nd.
People don't mention Pincay in the same breath as Day. (trust me that is laughable) :LMAO
Now Hogan over Snead and not knowing Snead had the most wins. But throwing a Mt. Rushmore out there?
I don't even follow golf and I knew that about Snead.

Fair enough. Tiger has a real good chance of beating the record next year. Really no one but Nicklaus belongs anywhere near Tiger in golf history.
This love affair the media is having with Tiger is hilarious to me.
I would fade him this weekend if I could find a prop to bet against. He is something like +500 to shoot the best score on the US team, but can't find the -600 for him to not shoot the best score......
It looks like there are 6 players who have a higher ranking on his team, yet he is the co-favorite....

Tiger and Jack are the main faces of Mount Rushmore of golf....then it becomes a horse race for the final two spots.....for me that is Bobby Jones and Arnold Palmer....
Not a golf historian but it sure seems tough to keep Arnold Palmer out of the Top Four.
Fame counts for something, doesn't it?
I could be wrong.
Like Heim, I'm a research team of one.
Great line.

For me Mr.59 Al Geiberger is on it, since I caddied for him in the 1981 Western Open.
Missed the cut by bogeying his last 2 holes (8 & 9) and instead of making another couple hundred on the weekend, I ended up at Arlington Park blowing a couple of hundred.
I think Arturo has it right, Bobby Jones & Arnie.
On Tuesday Al hadn't shown up and the bag room said he was going to arrive for Pro-Am on Wed. I go to 1st tee (or maybe it was #10) and JACK is going to play a practice round. He asks his caddie (Western used local club caddies) how far to carry the fairway bunker....the kid didn't know, JACK shakes his head and looks ticked off
I had Billy Krazert in my group for the 2 days, on Thurs we tee off on #10. #11 was a par 3 and Krazert asks the kid how far to pin. Kid was reading the pin sheet for #2 and gives him a wrong yardage.
Local caddies were replaced with tour caddies a few yrs later.
Also, heard through the grapevine that Ray Floyd was a real prick to his caddy.

Bob, that's great that you got to meet him.
Super guy, very nice, a real class act. Doubt you would find anyone who had a bad thing to say about Mr. 59.
The next year my friend from our club caddied for Norman, he lost in a playoff to Watson, first place chk was around $37,500, so guessing Norman got around 20K. Gave my friend Nick 2k for the weeks work. A nice paycheck for a 17-18 yr old back in 1982.

How did you get the loop Artie? I would have requested Jan Stephenson.
Purses have exploded thanks to Tiger. The LPGA probably was playing for 1/5 of the men's purses.
I looked it up, the purse was better than I remember, Watson got 72k for winning and Norman about 42.5K for second and it was 3 yrs after I caddied in it.

I scalped tickets to some lpga events with your boy Baskets, I remember working an LPGA event at Canyon Gate, I made 7th place money selling tickets to the event. Got a shoebox full of complimentary tickets from the janitor at the Cadilac dealer after it closed. We tipped the janitor 20 bucks
