I'll share a short story, The mens Senior Open was being held at Medinah Country Club in Medinah Illinois, I of course I was still rabidly playing the game every chance I got, so of course I called in Sick so I could watch all the greats of the game play, and especially Himself. I snuck a small film camera (no digital yet) so i could sneak some pics. I remember being on the 14hole when a ball landed just by the ropes, the Marshall said thats Palmers Drive he said it's 290 to the trap, now Mr Palmer was in his 60s and was still hitting a Wood Driver with a Steel Shaft 2 effen 90 so I grabbed my camera and as Mr Palmer walked up to look at his shot he couldn't have been 5 ft from me,I started to shake I shook so bad that when I took the pic I could barely hold the Camera, After The film was developed all I got for my trouble was a rather Blurred Picture of Mr Palmer.
