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.
