thanks to all you machine heads for the support. it is nice to see the positive remarks from everyone. i actually corrected clampett on 18 about the instructor mention and he was able to rectify it on my approach shot when he talked about angled hinging to keep it away from the water left! It was nice to have a commentator who knows tgm with my group on sunday.

Thanks for this first post, Brian. A 'lurker' no more!

Thanks also for correcting Bobby Clampett on the 18th. I can't believe you guys had that conversation with the kind of pressure (and cash!) you had on the line that last hole. Between John Riegger texting Ian Baker-Finch and you going mano-o-mano with Bobby, an inconsequential footnote was made right. I am truly humbled.

Finally, my personal LBG congats on your great tournament. As I said to you on the phone the morning of the final round, the naysaying commentators may have been able to measure your drives, but they failed miserably at measuring your heart. Then you showed them in the afternoon just how wrong they were.

I texted Kip my congratulations after the finish, and he returned with this:

"Ol b gay has some guts, huh?"

Yes, you do, Brian...

Yes you do.
