This was taken at Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra Fund Raising Golf Tournament at Victoria Nationals in Newburgh, IN. Our company donated a few grand for the cause, and I was fortunate enough to be selected represent the company for this occasion.
Chi Chi had what they call a "Clinic", which is pretty much his one-man show. It was amazing what the man can do. It is hard to believe he is 70 years old. He can hit draw, fade, high, or low. He can land the ball wherever he wishes. He even attempted to collide 2 balls in mid-air: one hit in high fade another one hit moment later in low draw. They didn't collide, but man, did they come close!
We played one short hole over the water with him (that's where we got our picture taken). He is a very personable guy. Chi Chi and I talked briefly at the club house before he left. He had to leave soon because his wife was having some allergic reaction... weird...
By the way, this Victoria National Golf Club is ranked 22nd in the nation. It's a very prestigious course, and the houses along the course are unbelievably huge!! Many of them have cruisers parked in the lake in their backyard... yeah, cruisers, like big boats! I don't know what they do for living, but that's what I really need to be doing...
How did we do in the tournament? We tied for dead last...
