Like missing a 2 footer for birdie...

Hmm, it does seem I screwed up. Augusta was on my original list, not sure where it got deleted when I made the post. Take off the TPC @ Sawgrass and replace it. Thew records a double bogey with this omission.

Clarification: I played Oakmont East. Not THE Oakmont, otherwise known as Oakmont West. Beat Oakmont East into submission, but that's a hollow victory at best.

Onward...

Wow, what a tough question! Thoughful and insightful, something not normally evident during conversations with Tilam.

FDR - I'd very VERY interested in the process this man went through when deciding to drop the atomic bomb on Japan.

Da Vinci - this man was a creative thinker and artist decades ahead of his time, to be able to chat with him about his thoughts and how they pertain to the world while he was alive would be fascinating to me

Albert Einstein - just to pick his brain about the universe, the theory of relativity, and all the science stuff would be a neat thing

Benjamin Franklin - really any of the Founding Fathers would be an excellent conversation about liberty, revolution, and plans for a new nation (Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Adams, Hamilton, Hancock, and et al)

God - cuz I want answers about Life, the Universe, and Everything

Other notable people who would be an excellent dinner conversation:

King Arthur
Julius Caesar
Winston Churchill
Karl Marx
Cortes
Confucious
Buddha
Atilla the Hun
Ramses II
Christopher Columbus
Charles Darwin

Kudos to the Bravo's for making some excellent MLB trades. Do you think that acquiring Eric Gagne was more about Boston NOT letting the Yankees get him? Nice to see that Kevin McHale still plays for the Celtics - anyone who knows even a smattering about the NBA will look at his trading of Kevin Garnett to Boston for a bunch of shitheads and scrubs as the stupid GM move of the NBA season. I hope whoever blew McHale swallowed too.

Well, Gary Player was right. Alessandro Pissilli was found guilty of using a banned substance. The bad news is that he is facing a 2 year ban from Italian Professional Golf. The good news is that he's already qualified for the Tour de France next year.

Thew out...
