Payne Stewart, one of the most beloved and respected golf pros on tour perished in a plane crash on October 26th, 1999. Having really enjoyed his play over the years, I thought it only fitting to do "A tribute to Payne Stewart" as the theme for 2002. As such, everyone came in "knickers" (very hard to find) and a Payne Stewart golf hat. Check out the photos on this website.

We only had 25 players this year. There were many many conflicts. Recruiting was weak this year and we ended up with only 3 rookies. One of those was JP Martinek, a friend of Rickard, who drove with him out from Atlanta!

Randy Russell won with 13 points and Mike Temple was hot on his heels (or putter if you will) only one point behind. Mike Temple did get to take home the Grand Putter Whacker trophy.

Champions in the Horserace this year were Jeff Zentner and Gene Ketchum followed by the team of Mike Pinch and Jim Rozmaryn.

Scramble winners on Saturday: Joe Alongi, Mike Temple, Burt Straight (3 man team)
Scramble winners on Sunday: Randy Russell, Terry Campbell, Burt Straight (3 man)
Mike Pinch won the grand prize for the late-night KP on #6.


I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
