John Smoltz discusses his future on the PGA

[Aetsh]

I worked as a photographer's assistant in the early 90's in Atlanta. One time we had a shoot during the Playoffs with Tom Glavine. We were in one of the locker rooms at Fulton County Stadium and getting the job done. Then, there was a knock on the door and Smoltz walks in all excited trying to get Glavine out of there to meet someone. Instead, of getting up and leaving, Glavine says bring him in. 2 mins later, Payne Stewart walks in!! So, I'm standing in the room with Glavine, Smoltz and Stewart!! All 3 were great and I got several autographs. Best day of work ever.

Wow, that sounds amazing!!!!!

RIP Fulton County Stadium

Wow, that sounds amazing!!!!!

Ditto.

And I too find it so sad when I go to games and see what's remaining of the outside wall of the old stadium in Turner Fields parking lot. I am glad they saved the wall but it sure brings back a lot of memories. I can still remember going to Fulton County Stadium each year as a child to race in the MX races. As a six year old kid you think you have hit the big time when you went to race in that stadium. Lot of memories. I also found it funny that Smoltz said he had never been out of the country. You would think a person with his resources would have. I guess what was equally amusing was that just this week Smoltz x-wife and another long time friend of mine has just got back from a tour around Europe. I guess with Smoltzy getting remarried and all Dianne decided she was going to spend some of that money..LOL

Why is everyone surprised that he beat Tiger Woods, assuming strokes are given? Isn't the whole point of the handicap system to allow a loser like me to play Tiger?

Smoltz plays to almost a +2. At that index, someone correct me if I'm wrong, he should not be getting any strokes. The fact that he regularly shoots in the 60s is an indication of that, too, as is beating Annika Sorenstam straight up.
