Best of the Masters

Rosie?

 

thanks guys

 

Gary Player is the only champion to have a jacket permanently off premises. He kept his 1961 jacket. Augusta National asks him to return it every year, he always says come and find it. Drove Clifford Roberts crazy.

 

Friend of mine in the Jax media told me that after winning the 2007 Players Championship, Phil took 12 family and friends to local Ruth's Chris. Tab was $3,000. He tipped $1,000.

From what I hear about Tiger, he might have not tipped, then scarfed a handful of mints at the door.

 

Must have been why Roberts killed himself on the par-3 course.

 

By the way, a threadjack, but the best tipping story of all time (from bio of Sinatra, "The Way your Wear Your Hat:"

Sinatra valet parks at this joint in Chicago. Comes out hours later to get his car. Kid gets it, hands him the keys. Sinatra pulls out a wad and asks the kid, "what's the biggest tip you ever got?" Kid says $100. Sinatra lays two C-notes on him, then says, "who gave you that $100 tip, kid?" Valet replies: "You did sir, six months ago."

 

This exact story is in the Babe Ruth movie that William Bendix starred in.

 

Well, I didn't make it up. I cited the book.

 

The Babe and Sinatra only went to places that could be described as a "joint" so it seems entirely plausible.
