I’m sitting in the Toronto airport so I’ll add a few other stories
I met…
Gerry Clooney on a LIRR train. Complete a-hole
Dr J in a Friendly’s restaurant in his Nets days (what NBA superstar takes his wife to Friendly’s, even in the 70’s), super super nice guy
Trent Dilfer (now UAB FB coach). Super nice guy. Way bigger than I expected. He joined my club. When we met he Said he’d text to set up a game. He got my number from his partner that day, and that night he texted me.
Not me, but my son. Ray Lewis - he’s a high end tech investor now, was looking at investing in my middle son’s start up. They talked for an hour at a party. Physically terrifying but really nice and very sharp
Sepp Straka and Trey Mullinax - both play at my club. Super approachable and nice. I had a long (10 min) discussion with SS over how to hit a particular tricky shot my club often gives us. At the end he shrugged and just said “tough shot”
Seve. He played in only 1 senior tour event before he fell ill, finished dfl. We followed him and his partners that sunday. The other 2 (Curtis strange was one - BIG dick by every report of the people there) ignored us as they left 18 but Seve stopped, said something to us i didn’t understand but he was smiling, and signed my son’s hat.
