You may call me an anti-American, Commie-pinko, subversive degenerate bed-wetting swine, but I say this:
May the Thomases play well for Belgium at the Olympics. As in Pieters and Detry.
GO ILLINI AND USA!
Note: Illinois PGA Open is next week: Coach Small and a couple of his players are in the field at Stonebridge CC in Aurora; NIU players, too, plus Kishwaukee CC pro and his son (Illinois State player).
Last time I was at Stonebridge, Michael Jordan and a golfer by the name of Arnold Daniel Palmer played a practice round together. Got Arnie's autograph. A genuine thrill that lasts a lifetime. Former thrill: walking east on Addison near Wrigley, chit-chatting with #14. You talk heroes - Ernie was mine.
