when real men played golf....

Also, I remember a quote from one of the greats about how hard they used to party on the Tour. He said he knew it had been a really late night when the alarm went off in the morning and the glass on the night stand still had ice that hadn't completely melted. Can't remember who... maybe Lee Trevino, not sure.

I love how well people used to dress.

It's like they actually cared about their appearance. Photos from old Clemson games from Big Thursday and every man wore a coat and tie. All the ladies wore dresses and hats.
And for some reason it didn't matter that it was 95 degrees outside.

Try flying....As recently as the 80's and early 90's you didn't see freaking flip flops and Muumuus on flights.

now it seems most people not clearly on business wear shorts and flip-flops. Not a fan.

off their shoes and sitting next to you barefooted with toe funk just wafting right up.
Air travel is one step removed from a New Delhi bus with chickens flapping around the cabin nowadays.

Yep....if I don't get bumped, $40-60 for "economy plus"

is the bargain of the century. None of the pewrs spring for it, and usually it buys you an empty middle seat because nobody is going to pay extra for a middle seat.

Middle seat is the worst

Even window blows. When I want to get up and pee or cropdust the folks on the to the head, I don't want to have to wade through a fatty or two to get there.

I love the window seat.

I don't usually have to pee on planes, and it gives you a wall to lean against and every fatty and drink cart isn't hitting my shoulder as it goes by.

during the week.
Used to be you had a fighting chance with Silver on Delta, now you almost have to be a platinum to have a chance.
I'll go first for work domestic if it's in the +$400 or less range. I'm not sure why, but the spread between first and coach seems to have come down on a lot of domestic flights. For international, the spread has gone up crazy over the last 2 yrs.

I bumped to first for $90 from Calgary to Houston last year. Insane no-brainer for a 4 hour flight.

Golf is for people who can't catch fish.

I remember watching him at the Masters.....

I was standing by the ropes in the pines near the 2nd shot area on 13, Daly would take a few puffs, throw the butt on the ground, and then his caddie would have to stoop down and pick up the butt. He then did the same thing on the green.
Jumbo Ozaki was the only other player I really remember excessively smoking on the course back then.

I had one when I was like 10 years old and I can still vividly remember its nasty taste in detail. Grapefruit soda. Yuck.
