795.0. "The *WORST* Avid Golfer..." by MSEE::KELLEY (CUSTOM CLUBS make GREAT Christmas gifts) Mon Oct 16 1989 12:16

    
    	I just couldn't wait to post the news of this great tourney...
    
    	I happened to catch a show on ESPN yesterday morning called
    	The Lighter Side of Sports (or something close to that). Well,
    	they had a guy on that won a touney called THE WORST AVID GOLFER.
    	The tourney was held at the TPC in Florida. To play in the tourney
    	you had to have a handicap of 36 or higher and play atleast 22
    	times a year. The winner was Angello Spagnolo he shot a ***257***
    	in the tourney....!!!! It took 7 hours for his group to play. He
    	took a 66 on the par 3 with an island green ****27 balls in the
    	water****.....! They showed film of some of the tourney, it was
    	incredible...!!! Instead of the conventional closest to the pin
    	hole, they had FARTHEST FROM THE PIN HOLE....
    
    	IF ANY OF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR GAMES,
    	YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THESE GUYS... YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE YOU ARE
    	A PRO IN COMPARISON...

    Wonderful stuff, isn't it?
    
    I saw this last year, the eventual winner was reduced to putting down
    the cart path to reach that island green.

    I, too, saw the show on ESPN yesterday morning.  I went out
    to play 9 holes at Pine Meadow later that morning, and was glad that I
    hadn't "visualized" their shots!
