Recently, Sarah and I had the great privilege of spending a few hours with the great Jack Nicholas, AKA the Golden Bear and LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam while attending the Champions Challenge golf event at Thanksgiving Point.
Johnny Miller sponsors this tournament each year which pairs father/son, brother/brother, sister/sister and friends in a best ball tournament for a two day golf extravaganza. Over the years I have carried on conversations with the likes of Sergio Garcia, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk Fuzzy Zoeller, Hale Irwin, David Duval, Tom Kite, and even the colorful John Daly.
The weather is usually quite toasty and this year we saw more of the same, Sarah put up with another of Dad's odd hobbies and was very supportive, she even received and nod of the head and a wink from host Johnny Miller himself. I still recall an exchange with Arnold Palmer some years ago when Aaron was a young lad of some 8 or 9 years old.
