Mathew,

Well stated regarding the "game of golf". Those of us that have golf as a passion are very fortunate. I don't know where that passion originated for me (possibly from my Dad), but I'm so glad it did. I've met so many quality individuals, several who are now very close friends of mine and who share that same passion.

I remember Byron showing up at a little club event we were having back in the early 90's (shortly after he had cut his finger badly doing some of his wood-working) and watched all the groups tee off. I think he was there as a favor to our Pro. What a pleasant, unassuming man he was.

It still amazes me to think that he retired at 34, an age that is now seen as a golf professional's "prime".
