I just returned from Maui, where I was paired with Jay for nine holes in the Wendy's Champions Skins Pro-Am. I will always remember those 9 holes as the highlight of my golfing life. Jay was a true gentleman, and really made us amateurs feel at ease throughout the round. One incident, I think, sums up Jay: On the first hole, one of the amateurs pulled his tee shot deep into the lava and rough. Whereas the amateurs were on carts and drove down the right side cart path, Jay strolled down the middle of the fairway. All of a sudden I see him start a little jog to his left, into the rough. He searched for a minute or so before coming out with the errant shot! That set the tone for the round, where we shot 8 under as a team on the front nine, on our way to second place for the tournament. Jay has certainly gained another fan!
