I didn\u2019t write or even imply I did those things but realize should\u2019ve given little more information.  Two current professional golfers, requesting anonymity (you\u2019ve heard of them), offered me few thousand plus expenses to work with them one day.  I explained even with ace on seventh hole that 1993 day I would\u2019ve only had forty if parred eighth and ninth.  I did par eighth but, typically, sliced two out of bounds on ninth, bombarding condominium roofs, and posted quintuple bogey nine to make turn at forty-five.  On back side I shot forty-one, tying career best, and posted eighty-six for eighteen to establish new personal record.
