Famous playing partners?

I just finished playing 18 holes with Lewis Tillman, former Jackson State and Chicago Bears running back, Super nice guy, but I have to admit he was a much better football player than he is a golfer. He crushes a 3 wood, but fights a slice, which he said was why he never hits his driver. But then again, when you can hit a 3 wood 275, why even bother?

I asked him what his swing speed was, the club was doing some wicked whistling when he'd swing it, but he said he'd never had it checked.

i played 18 holes with the boxer Antonio Tarver a few months ago. He lives right near the course I was playing and he was with his buddy and my buddy and i got paired up with them. they were really cool to play with. talked about making the "Rocky Balboa" movie, working with Stallone, etc. It was a cool day

Could he play? I'm curious if a boxer had the flexibility to wind up and unwind.

I've played with future NHL hall of famer Brian Propp. Propp is a very good player. Probably a 3 handicap.
NHL hall of famer Bobby Clark and Flyers TV announcer Steve Coates are both members at my home course and play all the time durring the offseason.

I will be playing in an LPGA pro-am in June and I'm crossing my fingers that I will get paired with a known player. My company has participated in this event in the past for a number of years. So far Julie Inkster is the only known player we have been paired with. We always seem to get Korean players.

well, he could bomb the crap out of his driver and fairway woods, if i had to guess, i would guess he probably shot around 100

I think he meant FAMOUS, as in well know, not INFAMOUS, like wanted by the law there Eclark.

Caddied for Chris Chelios four or five years ago. He HATED golf. Barely made it through nine holes. He didn't hit a wood at all.

Third hole is a 230 yard par 3. He hit 3 iron. Flew the green by a good 25 yards. Pretty sure he toed it, too.

I once played with a guy who's neighbor had a cousin who's wife met a guy on a plane that actually shook Andy Griffiths hand. That's my brush with golf fame.

I played with Camilo Villegas some time ago, when he was just a new comer to the Nationwide. Pretty good player, but I think we didn't cross one word in the entire 18 holes...
