Member PGA of America since 1967. Member PGA Half Century Club. Father and brother both PGA Half Century Club members. Over 160 combined years of serving Kentuckiana golfers.

ND golf captain, frosh numerals, 3 Monograms. I don't know if that qualifies me as an athlete or not but my Monograms seem to be the same size as football Monograms. Did most of the other sports stuff in grade and high school. I was adequate but my girlfriend said I was a hero.

I've lost a lot of distance with my golf shots because of the nature of father time and medical issues but still scrape it around OK. Hit range balls and play a few holes most every day.

Try to look good. I have the threads to do that too! I have a huge tour golf bag with my name on it but it doesn't scare anyone anymore.

A half pint and a six pack used to get me to where I wanted to be. Now the aroma will do it.

Independent and very pro life except in certified serious circumstances.

Tree hugger. We only have one planet, please help me save it. Start with planting the proper species tree for that region somewhere. (But not under power lines or on the draw (hook) side of fairways.)

Cradle Catholic from the Kentucky Holy Land which is Central Kentucky, Bardstown Area, Archdiocese of Louisville. A ton of West of the Alleghnies Catholic history there

I was Grand Ole Opry type country before country was cool. Today's country reminds me of nothing but pop music in Stetsons and boots. Which is OK, I suppose. Also enjoyed 40's and 50's Rhythm & Blues and original Rock & Roll. Platters, Chuck Berry, Fats etc.

In 1956 I first saw Chuck Berry play and do his duck walk across the stage in a R&B review at the South Bend Avon theater. All of the vintage R&B stars were there.

An unnamed ND coach (or any coach for that matter) ... "We're having a rebuilding year!"

..."From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse,
the going up was worth the coming down" How true is that!

I recently had two strokes. What life changing experiences. Blessed however, except for loss of hearing and balance issues I'm OK. God was good to me, JMJ. I'm learning to walk all over again which is a challenge involving hundreds of balance drills a day. Getting there, and the only way to fail is to quit! I admit, it's been hard at my age.
