I'll give you three putts, and if you make one of them, I'll give your First Tee $25,000.
He would really be thrilled with some of the racial advances that have been made, but he would be really disappointed in the way some people act.
If you get a standing ovation for getting 12 points, there is something wrong. If I had scored 12 points, I would have gotten booed out of the building. My mother and grandmother would have called cussing me out.
