Thread: Met a guy who played with Zach Johnson

  1. Met a guy who played with Zach Johnson

    Had to go to Davenport Iowa yesterday to visit a heat treating company we might use. The VP of the company was Chad Funderburk who used to play alot with Zach. Not sure if it was college or the Hooters or some other tour but he said they were (at that time) pretty even and he would beat Zach and Zach would beat him the next time etc. Sounds like he might take me golfing some time. He joked that I'd play the women's tees, he'd play the back and if he won a hole we had to give him so much business etc. Fun guy to talk to. I told him if we gave him business it would require he gives me golf lessons too...

    Very cool. I've never played with a true plus handicap golfer before, but I imagine it could be interesting, to say the least.
    "Maybe he could sell it on Ebay, say it looks like the Virgin Mary, Sergei Fedorov, or Leno."

    You know that dude from Africa that was drafted by UNM and played in the Masters last year? They had a little special on him either Friday or Saturday of the week of it.

    Well, I played with him a few weeks before...he's crazy man. Even the bottom feeders of the PGA blow you away.

    We make heavy duty power transmission equipment to handle up to 5,000 hp. We are moving to vacuum carburizing (instead of atmosphere carburizing) on the gears when possible. I'm pretty much up on who can do a good job on our parts. And also who can't, LOL. We make some gears over 750 lbs. Some over 43" diameter. Big stuff usually. We make the transmission/steering units on a few military vehicles (XT1410 transmission for the Hercules tank retriever) and M9 ACE (armered combat earthmover) for some.

  9. I don't buy anything (thank God!!) but only make sure a heat treater is good enough to run our parts. And our purchasers probably buy the cheapest junk they can find...

    Check your PM's!! You're on your own!!

    Found an old results sheet with Chad on it. Look down at 72 total score. Zach shot 63!!

    And I played golf with you, so that means I practically had breakfast with Moore. How cool is that?!

    Well I have a lawyer nephew that used to be a security guard at Stevie Wonder's house in New Jersey while he was going to college.

    And I met and talked with Ray Nitchke.
