Monday July 26, 2021: Castle Rock, CO

 The boy and I had an absolute blast with Cliff and his buddy Normy.   Normy looks very much like Jim Furyk.   I LOVED this course - lots of elevation changes in a gorgeous setting.   The kid shot an 81 and notched his 10th birdie of the year when he drove the green on the short par four 9th hole and two putted from the first cut.   His reward was a ride in Uncle Cliff's Ferrari back to his place where we hung out for a couple of hours before our flight home.

Wednesday July 22, 2015, Oakville, Canada - Canadian Open

 Met Jim Furyk at the Pro Am during the Candian Open.   We wore our Wildcats shirts and he came over to talk to us.   Very exciting for both of us.

 X3 Tournament Championship - final tour stop.   The boy was in 3rd place overall and the only chance he had to win it all was to win the tournament and have both Conner (2nd overall) and Chase (leader) place 7th or lower.   That wasn't going to happen.   He just had to beat Cruz Cooper (4th overall) outright to maintain his position at 3rd overall - and he did. He birdied holes 3 and 5 and went into the 6th hole at even par.   Doubles on 6 and 8 cost him but he finished strong with a par on 9 to end up +5, good enough for 2nd place behind Chase, who finished +3.

 This was soooooooo cool.   They asked if we wanted to kick back our 1:30 tee time to 12:36, and it's a good thing we did because otherwise would not have met Karen and Leon from Reno.   Super cool people in their 60's that were very laid back.   The kid teed off on the final hole needing a par to post a 79 but he bogeyed for a honorable 80 - beat me by three strokes.   In addition to the victory, the boy also won the affections of Leon and Karen.   We had so much fun.
