I’m from this area and have played Highland Meadows a couple of times. Maybe if Big Ben is reading, he can get me in his Pro-Am group. I mean, our time at Findlay High School did overlap. Plus, I’ll be in town over that weekend. I bet his real reason for going is to meet back up with Natalie Gulbis. They’ve been rumored to have dated. [link]
