I had the distinct pleasure of playing a round of golf with my buddies from MDSI... Brian Taylor, John Pritchard and Scott Adams recently at TPC Sugarloaf outside Atlanta? Now I haven't been playing much over the last couple of years, quit my golf club because I got tired of the monthly bills reminding me that once again another month went by and I didn't play. My golf this year was 9 holes in Dallas at a HIDA event in frigid weather. My cart mate was Dan Austin who works for McKesson from the Wisconsin area and he wanted to call it a day as we made the turn. Tampa is the farthest north I have ever lived and I promise you I was more than pleased to head in. I played two rounds of business golf in Wisconsin at the National Accounts Council meeting and seven rounds in Scotland on a boys vacation trip. That was it until my MDSI golf. They had purchased the services of Stewart Cink, the professional golfer at a charity event, as in nearly thirty million in career earnings, and that doesn't include endorsements. Stewart was a gentleman and seemed perfectly happy to be out playing a round with the boys.
The funniest moment of the round came when we reached the 8th tee. A beautiful azalea lined hole, and Mr. Pritchard pulled out his camera and said this looks like an excellent spot for photos. John then handed the camera to Stewart and said, "would you mind taking some pictures of us"? John laughed, took the camera back and snapped some mementos.
The useless tip that Stewart passed on was that the pro golfers use the blimp to figure out what direction the wind is blowing. Apparently it is always pointed into the wind. Unfortunately, or I guess fortunately, the blimp is never around while I am playing golf.
