 How were you introduced to golf? I was on a movie in 1987 with Michael Keaton (“The Squeeze”), and one day Michael and his brother said, “We’re going to play golf.” I said, “Oh, Michael, can I come?” and he said, “Have you ever played?” I said no, so I just kind of drove the cart around. I didn’t really know what I was doing. Did you play consistently after that? I didn’t play again for a year-and-a-half, when I was paired with Lee Trevino in a celebrity event at Half Moon Bay. I had to buy clubs, so I think I went to Wal-Mart or Kmart and bought a set. I show up to the event and put my bag in the cart, and I come back later and the clubs are gone. Lee comes up and introduces himself to me, and I said, “Some-body took my clubs!” He said, “No, I threw them in the lake. I’m not going to play with anybody that’s got those kinds of clubs.” He got me Callaways for free. What’s your handicap? I had it down to a 16, but it’s probably about a 21. What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen on the course? One time I was playing with [Westlake Village’s] Steve Pate, and I made him laugh so hard. I teed off and hit a rock about 50 yards down the fairway and the thing bounced all the way back over our heads, 50 yards backwards. Steve was on the ground laughing; he said it was one of his most fun rounds ever. Including yourself, who would make up your ultimate foursome? Jim Furyk, because I really like the way he plays. You’d be stupid not to put Tiger Woods in there. And Colin Montgomerie, because he’s really cool and funny. I like Nick Faldo, too. SG |
