I never graduated high school; they had to change the Ivy League rules. During my tenure at Brown, I helped them become the number one Ivy League school.
You still remember the bad rounds here, but they don't stay with you as long. The Champions Tour is great, it's competitive and it's a wonderful show, but it's not the real big league. The real big league is the PGA Tour, and we all know that.

Major Franklin: Pappadimos, have you got your silencer? Pvt. Spyros Pappadimos: Yes. Major Franklin: Then use it. Shoot the laundry boy. Maj. Baker: Are you crazy? Major Franklin: And if the Major gets in your way, shoot him too. That's an order.
God, if he believed in Him, and his conscience, if he had one, were the only judges to whom he was answerable.
