Who is the most famous person you've golfed with? - Page 6

geez.....how recent is that pic?  Sir Charles has lost a lot of weight!

Played a couple times with Billy Ray Brown back when we were in high school.

Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Carlton on the fresh prince of bel-air. I didnt play a round with him just talked for a minute at the range. Very nice guy.

Either Eddie Pepperell or Ricardo Santos, both currently on the European tour circuit

Not sure if this counts, but I caddied for Steve Nicklaus (Jack's Son) in the nationwide pro-am a couple years ago.  

 

On the 18th hole one of the days, he his approach shot from about 150 to 2 ft left of the pin and 5 ft short (left himself with an uphill putt).  I said nice shot Steve, he goes, "No Paul, its short." I wanted to say, Sorry JACK my bad.  But I bit my tongue so I wouldn't get thrown off the bag.  

 

He was by far the best 6 handicap I have ever seen. He was no Jack Nicklaus, but he reacted to bad shots as if he was.

How the heck can anyone w/ Nicklaus genetics have any handicap over 0?

From what i've heard, he is the only one of Jack's FOUR sons not to go pro! Its actually very funny.  But like i said, he was the best 6 I've ever seen.  He was a great ball striker.

maybe he was adopted

 

Years ago, like in the early 90s, I played in the Palm Beach County Amateur at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach (awesome course btw). Since I barely made the cut I went off early on the final day. When I finished my round, which was a smooth 84 or something, I went over to the first tee to watch the leaders tee off. One was Gary Nicklaus. Jackie Nicklaus (the son) was caddieing for him.

 

The first hole at ED is a short dogleg-right par 5, about 520y. Now, I'm not a long hitter & used Driver off that tee & still couldn't reach it in two. But there's Gary hitting a 3w off the tee. Jackie was standing near me & I had to ask him - "How come Gary's hitting 3 wood?" Jackie pointed to the stanchion with the hole diagram on it & said "See that water on the right? That's 310 off the tee. He can't reach it with his 3 wood." I said ahhh...but can he get home in two hitting 3 wood off the tee? Jackie looked at me & gave me one of those head-to-foot-back to head looks and said,"With an iron."

 

My only claim to fame in my amateur competitive career is I have defeated all the Nicklaus male offspring in competition - Jackie, Steve, Gary & Mike. They all played amateur events in Palm Beach County growing up. Of course, in each case they were like 14 years old when I did it, but still...

I golfed with Sam "Bam" Cunningham (personal friend) Randall Cunningham (his younger brother by 12 years) and Charles Barkley (before he sucked) at the Dunes in Vegas back in the early 90's. I have golfed with Randall several times and Sam a billion

Awww Mason, are you coveting those monthly awards? 

Well the head pro at my course just earned his card for the European Senior Pro Tour and I've played with him so does it count ? He also played in the Senior British Open last year and got low Canadian in the field. 

Billy Ray Brown was a member at the same club that I was and I played with him a couple of times.

I was on vacation in Cabo a few years back and was playing the Nicklaus Cabo del Sol course as a single. I was paired with Bill Rogers and a friend of his. After the round I found out that Bill was the British Open Champion of 1981. Heck of a fine golfer and a nice fellow.

I thought Brad Pitts' brother was Stu?  Badabing, I know, old joke.
