Friday I played a private party in Ft. Worth, TX. It happened to be at Shady Oaks Country Club, where Ben Hogan lived and played.
It was amazing to see all the photos and memorabilia of him. His lockers remained exactly as he left them, including medicines, ointments, tees, ball markers, coins, golf gloves, balls, etc. There were several sets of pants, dozens of sweaters and many pairs of golf shoes, just like they were waiting for him to come put them on.
There were displays of several sets of his clubs, including various ones he used to win big tournaments. It gave me chills.
I was invited to play the course for free Saturday, but had another job back in Louisiana, so they said I could come back and bring some friends and play the course anytime I wanted, as their guest.
I was treated like Royalty! I guess sometimes you have to go out of town to be appreciated!!
Get your clubs out SemiLive. Road trip ahead!!
