He also threw me his golf ball after sinking a birdie putt on the 18th green of some tournament in Tahoe (or somewhere local) when I was like 8 years old.  If that doesn't qualify a guy, then I just throw my hands up at this whole process!

Sorry I didn't get the "tone" right to your satisfaction.

Chi Chi really helped grow the game. There was a PGA tournament in my neighborhood when I was growing up and Chi Chi was always one of the most popular players, especially with the kids. He was also one of the first guys to run junior clinics at a local club or range at tthe tour stops. Classy guy and well deserving of the golf HOF.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
