I always enjoy going home to Fresno to visit the family and the stomping grounds. It was a beautiful weekend with the occasional thunderstorm moving through. It was a bit muggy and on the hot side, but still didn’t slow us down at all on the Golf course. I played a full 18 hole 3 days in a row.

            The first day I was teamed up with John Lee, the country singer and claim to fame “Looking for Love in all the wrong places”. Johnny is not just an incredible singer, but a full on comedian too! By the end of the first day my cheeks hurt from laughing all day.  From Johnny giving my Mom a hard time to his loud red Zebra pants it was non stop laughs. The way Golf should be!

            The second day I was teamed up with Chuck Finely, professional baseball pitcher for the Angels. I am pretty sure they teamed him up with me because he is   6’ 6” and I was definitely the shortest golfer there. So he looked like a Giant next to me. But damn could he send that little white ball flying. There was 5 of us on that team and it was the boys team. The other three was the Table Mountain Casino crew, which consisted of BMX riders and snowboarders. It Was the BOYS TEAM. Willie, Eli and Waylon represented well and helped out team knock down some killer birdies.

            The format was a scramble, which I learned makes for a really fun relaxing weekend. You take the best ball out of all 5 players every hit. So I could mess up right and left and it was no big deal. I still contributed to some hits so I was happy. Both days my team ended up 8 under. Lots of spectators showed up and supported all the golfers. Kids were pumped to get autographs from all the celebs. I gave  away a snowboard from Porters snowboard shop to a girl that claims to sit in the same seat I sat in at Teneya middle school in Mrs. Owensbe’s class. Kinda ironic. The highlight for me was getting an autograph from Lee Trivino with the quote, “Grizzly Adams did have a beard”. You know what that’s from right?
