Anyone ever play with Bobby Walzel? He was and is still very pure. He once shot 59 and didn't make anything longer than 18 feet. But the most impressive is Bobby Schaeffer, who Ben Doyle considers to be the MODEL for the Golfing Machine. He is a small guy, but can hit it ridiculously long and do any trajectory any time. It's a pity that he didn't develop the wedge play he has now until years after he left the Nike Tour.

Gang, if you didn't get to see Moe Norman strike balls, you missed something special. I got to spend many hours with George Knudson. He was amazing, but he was a notch below Moe. Growing up in Southern Ontario being around those two was a treat. There is a reason there are hundreds of "Moe" stories. He's my #1.
I did get to follow Mike Weir on the final round at Pebble in '05. He was 7 behind the other lefty, Phil. Mike shot 67, making nothing and was the low round by 3 shots. The wind blew, the rain came down and oh, btw, they were playing at Peb from the tips. He missed one green because of a mud ball. Otherwise, it's got to be one of the finer rounds.
Duval has got to be recognized before the meltdown. The 59 at the Palmer during the Hope is as good as it gets. The course isn't as easy as TV viewers are lead to believe. I'm an old friend of Jim Furyk and Duval was his number 1 back in the day. Funny, Furyk is right up there now too!
