Dreams do come true

My buddy Tom Jacobson is a big time golfer–bridge is what he does when he can’t walk around hitting an insignificant ball into a meaningless hole with implements ill-suited to the purpose.

But he sent me this picture along with a note:

Here we are on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach Golf Links yesterday for my free round of golf from the Lexus sweepstakes.  We had a wonderful time.  I had a great round of golf, and Barbara got to walk along and take hundreds of pictures.  Here’s one of the best ones.

I’m more in the Mark Twain school, thinking that golf is “a good walk, spoiled”, but that’s what makes Tom happy, so good for him.  I didn’t even know that there was a Lexus sweepstakes–could there be a 5-year-old Chrysler sweepstakes?  Maybe I could win 3 free games at Antioch Bowl.
