LET'S GROW TWO!!!! lol. yep i asked my dad to bring a copy of the Joliet Herald with him when he was invited to watch a blackhawks game with ernie banks. ernie and my dad are the 2 most unlikely people in the world to end up being good friends, but the game of golf brought them together about 15 years ago here at a golf course 5 minutes from where i grew up...Cog Hill C.C. my dad's passion about golf and designing clubs equals to or exceeds my passion for growing giant pumpkins. he designs putters, shafts, golf club testing equipment, loft/lie adjusting machines, and laser tracking testing equipment for analyzing the real Pros putting strokes. his accommplishments in golf engineering and mechanical engineering as a whole gives him the extreme advantage over myself in the amount of obsessive compulsive energy devoted to a single passion. golf never caught on in my blood...i can play..but have little patience and expect way too much from myself. i tend to make myself nuts on the course, or should i say...more nuts...lol. little to no room for error in the game of golf. so anyways, i thought it was cool to have an original signature on a weird piece of my own history that i will have framed. funny thing is if that i hate the cubs. lol. go whitesox 2011!!!!!!
