- He was a member at Pebble Beach and PGA West.
- He has played in multiple Pro-Ams and was partnered with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Greg Norman, Justin Leonard, and other famous golfers. (P.S. he said Greg Norman was a total dick.)
- He has played Sawgrass (#89), Cypress Point (#3), and Augusta National (#2) among other big-time courses. (those numbers are their rank of Top 100 Golf Courses according to Golf Digest)
- He knows multiple Golf Channel personalities (also told us that Brandel Chamblee is a Grade A dick)
- He played football at Missouri while in college.
- He owned a $2 million home in the mountains near Greenville, SC.
- That home was his spring/fall home.
- He also owned a home on 17-mile Drive in Pebble Beach, which costs at the least $10 million.
- And he had a home in Palm Springs.
- Had had "at least 15" different sets of Taylormade irons.
- But he drove away in a crappy Jeep Wrangler.
- He was the current two-time runner-up at his club's yearly tournament.
- But he probably shot a 95 that day we played with him, never hit a ball over 200 yards and hit fairway woods from 100 yards out.
- However, the guy was a wizard when it came to chipping, he claimed it was because he learned his short game from the same guy that taught Phil Mickelson.
- Oh and my favorite, after everything he said, he would chuckle. It sounded like the chuckle that Beavis and Butthead do, except imagine a 70 year old guy doing it and that is what this guy sounded like. It was priceless.

The Strangest Golfer I've Ever Played With
A couple of weeks ago, my buddy Brian and I played a round of golf. Usually when it is just the two of us, we always book the tee time for three people that way the course won't pair us with anybody else mostly because a single golfer looking to join a threesome is pretty rare. This trick has worked for us for years. However, on this day our luck ran out and we were paired with an older gentleman whose name I don't want to post because I really don't want him to stumble upon this. Anyways, this guy, who we will call Moneybags, was pretty cool, the round went smoothly, and Moneybags was full of stories. Yet, he told us so much crazy stuff that we weren't sure if he was full of shit or not. I guess I was most skeptical because we weren't playing at the most prestigious course (35 bucks for 18 holes is cheap) and if this guy was to be believed, he was worth well into 8 figures. Just read and you tell me if he was just a crazy old man or not:
