I always feel like I am raining on a parade....

A dear friend and student of mine, Tommy Moore, who also worked a bunch with Rob Noel, and who passed away in his late 30's a few years back, played with Mac in a US OPEN qualifier during the period of time I was teaching Tommy.

He was totally unimpressed by his ballstriking, and at this time, I hailed Mac as "one of the all-time best ball strikers."

Tommy knew the difference, and although one round is no way to measure such a thing, it said a lot to me. I looked into the stats and saw the same thing as mrodock.

Just in case you think that Tommy was never impressed, it should be noted that he was EVRY impressed by Tom Bartlett, GSEB, who is—like another New Orleanian Stan Stopa—one of the very best ball-strikers EVER who hasn't carried a PGA Tour card.

Well, the guy (Mac)keeps trying to qualify here, there, and everywhere, and doesn't. I guess SOMETHING is missing...
