  | December 2003
Enjoyed a pleasant day at ChampionsGate outside of Orlando, Florida.
You gotta love 80 degree weather in December. It was lovely.
The tourney started with Jack Nicklaus and his son teeing off first
on the 10th hole. I staked my claim on the 11th and alternated
between that hole and the green of the 2nd hole. I had a SI for Jack
and he immediately told everyone that he wouldn't be signing
memorabilia. He would sign programs and hats but no photos or
magazines. I thought it might be a long day.
In the process, I was able to get a number of SIs signed, including
Hale Irwin (personalizes and is a big jerk about signing anything),
Ray Floyd, Tom Kite (will only sign with his red sharpie...not a
pleasant person either), Seve Ballestoros, and Lee Trevino. I also
got a Arnie Palmer SI signed for a friend and then Jack signed again
after the 2nd hole. He didn't realize that he grabbed my magazine
and looked at it like he was going to give it back to me. I told him
he could personalize it and he said, "I already started. It's OK."
Also got Bernhard Langer, Larry Nelson, Jerry Pate, Craig Stadler,
Johnny Miller, Lanny Wadkins on other items. I was basically done
with all the items I brought by 11:30 am. I waited around until the
end of the day to get Arnold Palmer one more time, this time on my
program.
Saturday was very cold on the course. With the wind chill, temperatures were between 40 and 50 degrees. I followed Vijay and Bernhard Langer's group. Bernhard's son, Stefan, is really accurate and should be a great golfer.
As the players were exiting the 18th green, I was able to get more autographs including Trevino again, Mark O'Meara, and Nicklaus in the program.
