Conference 7.286::golf

	I was at p.v. one year when j.c just finished the
15th with a bogey and then a kindly old man in his 60's had
the nerve to ask j.c for his autograph. Well mr. snead just
bit his head right off. 
	J.C. is without doubt the my least liked pga player.

    Worse liked than Hale Irvin?????????????????????
    
    I see that Bruce Devlin has trouble getting practice area space, so the 
    same will be the case with J.C.!  These old pros have a way of
    punishing people like J.C..

    I guess Jesse (J.C.) has been raising quite a ruckus - made some
    remarks shortly after joining the senior tour about how most of the
    guys just complained about everything all the time, nobody seemed to be
    having fun, etc. I'm sure this didn't sit too well with the others.
    
    As for Jerry Barber...I've seen him in action at the Digital Senior
    event, and he is a most unpleasant man. Whoever caddies for him really
    earns his/her pay. I also saw him displaying rudeness to his fellow
    competitors by carrying on a loud conversation adjacent to the first
    tee, as a group was preparing to tee off. One of them had to ask him to
    knock it off. I guess they can't all be angels.

         As far as Tyson goes , the guy the could take ANYONE
    is Jim Thorpe.
      Several years ago at PV, I had the chance to talk to him
    while he was hitting sand shots in the practise area.
    
        He said he could have gone into the pro game since he never lost
    a bout in amatuer boxing contests, and had many knockouts.
    
    In fact he said at the time he would  love to meet "Marvelous
    Marvin Hagler" for a few million!!
    
         And looking at his build, I wouldn't doubt it!
    
         JC is in the same "bigger than the game " mode as Hale ,
    Bruce Devlin , Gary Player , Bruce Crampton ,and getting there
    Curtis Strange !
    
         I scored for Mike Hill one year at the DEC classic and found him
    real freindly and down to earth, no doubt in my mind who
    instigated this thing.

    I never lost a bout when I boxed amature....But that dosn't mean I had
    the ability to turn pro. Pro is totally different.

    If I were to fight pro, I'd sure as hell like to start out with someone
    who's at least 3 weight classes below me too. Jim Thorpe must weigh in
    at about 220 or more. When Ali was fighting in his prime he only
    weighed 224.

      Mike,
        
      My instincts tell me that a 160 pound pro boxer could still take
    a 190 pound  golf pro. I weigh in at 196 and Thorpe is not as" bulky"
    as I am. Plus his arm reach is not in the same class as Hagler's.
         My brother was Paris Island boxing champ at 2 levels,
     so I  say when you got "punch", you got punch! 
    His arm reach and arm "bulk" was that like Popeye's!!
    But only weighed at the time 140-146 ?? 
    
                                                   
       But your right, big difference between pro and "amatuer".
    It's like me playing the 120th guy on the PGA money list.
    Even with a stroke a hole, he's going to win! So would Hagler.
                                                                
              I'll call Don King and set you up with my brother!!
    Ang
    
    
    

    Ang,
    
    I never said that Hagler wouldnt' kill him. But he'll have a much
    easier time beating him, then Tyson (which is the weight class he
    should be fighting in).
    
    As for fighting your brother, well I haven't done any boxing in over 15
    years. And I'm now 1 amature or 2 pro weight classes heavier. Ask me this 
    15 years ago, and I would have accepted.
    
    Mike

    
    	Kind of on the subject (arguments,etc...)
    
    	In Golf Digest - Paul Azinger was quoted as saying "Johnny
    	Miller is the biggest moron in the booth".  
    
    	He then says he was misquoted - "No, what I said was... Johnny
    	Miller is the biggest Mormon in the booth".
    
    	Pretty funny
    
    

    
    
       Johnny Miller's IQ is the square of the Zinger's!!!!
       Ang
    

    I just read a recent blurb in one of the golf rags that it was Dave
    Hill, not Mike Hill, that got into it with J.C.. This makes more sense
    since Dave Hill has been known to have a bad temper.

       Dan
          now that makes a LOT of a sense!!
          Two hot heads!
          Plus Mike is bigger than Dave Hill, and JC wouldn't like that!
