Kobi, have you read Harvey Pennick's golf books? He tells of a time when a guy came to him at Austin country Club where he was the teaching pro and told him he was going to work at his game a couple of years then go on the senior Tour. Harvey asked him if he would like to meet another of his students that was doing the same thing, and the guy said sure. Harvey took him into the club and introduced him to Tom Kite.

You may remember Robert Landers, the guy that qualified a few years ago. he was a down and out farmer from Fort Worth. I got to play a couple of rounds with him about 2 months before he played in his first tournament. He did not last long on tour but he was a very nice guy and had fun while it lasted.

I was given The Little Red Book but have not gotten around to reading it. (It sits in the psychology section of my "library".

Hey, at least Landers qualified. Me . . . they wouldn't even let me in Q School.

I can't believe you have not read Mr. Pennick. You need to, and get the Green book as well. The man was a master and has great lessons about life as well as golf.

Not a chance blue.

Presently, Kobi's clubs are these:



(His custom set of Wilson Staff Tour Blades long since retired . . . still got them though).

Presently, Kobi is thinking about going to Callaway's facilities in Carlsbad to be fitted for a set of Fusion irons (steel uniflex shafts), and practicing for the Senior Tour . . . oops, sorry, it's now The Champions Tour. I've got 2 years and 5 months to get ready.

Although I fear it would turn out like this:


It was on the 12th hole when Kobi™ discovered that dzervit was in the gallery.

Kobi, I love to read your posts.

Harvey Penick is a great read for just about any golfer.

I don't even have time to read mine, since I signed a contract with Kelloggs.

I barely have time to print em and cut em so they can stuffed into cereal boxes for the kiddies.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this. I'll laugh, and pray it's not true.
