I played with Tom Watson, Zach Johnson, and Kyle Stanley

Is MackDaddy's original post the most liked post in WRX history? It's up to 99 likes and rightfully so.

Spent many nights in my 20s sitting in the bleachers at Fenway - hope you had a sausage and peppers outside or a beer at the Cask & Flagon. What a great experience for all of you ... jealousy abounds !

I don't think this post will ever be topped on WRX. So much awesomeness. Thanks for sharing!

You didn't get anything signed by Zach, Tom, or Kyle?
[/quote] Signatures? I may have got a few!
Every participant received a signed flag by the three pros. In addition to this, I had an Augusta National hat signed by Zach and Tom since they both won it. Also, Zach signed the tour issue hats before giving them to us. He also threw away a yardage book that my friend retrieved, and Zach signed it without being asked.

Very well crafted recount of your exciting experience! How is school?

I just started college last week, and missed two days of class. Needless to say, neither my parents nor my professor tried to prevent me from going.

Thanks to everyone who has commented!

Very cool and that was really nice of Zach as well. Pretty surprised Tom signed your Augusta National hat as he doesn't like to sign anything Masters/Augusta National related.

[Smash Factors]

How cool is Zach Johnson for bringing the Claret Jug and letting you guys drink from it!!

Mind = Blown.

You'll have a lot of fun telling that story for the rest of your life.

[firehead36]

Awesome experience...one that you will remember and smile about many years from now.

[ZAP]

Very cool.

[prorobo]

How has this not been asked yet: what was in the Claret Jug when you drank?

Thanks for sharing this incredible experience! Sounds like you had just a tad bit of fun!

[KrazyTrain18]

ZJ has grown on me recently, I still don't care for the whole religious stuff after wins, but to each his own. He seems like a really nice guy & from what you typed went out of his way to make your day.

[fjk]

Great write up. Thoroughly enjoyed it and you did a great job writing it up. Thanks!

[Northsider]

Awesome story and pics!! How does a cape bretoner end up in Seattle? My home course was Seaview. Where did you play?

[trying2scratch]

Awesome story man! Can't believe he let you guys drink from "THE" jug. Def changed my feelings towards ZJ, really cool move on his part and good on your boys for stepping up to the challenge. Well played! Best of luck at school and on the greens

Cheers!

[Aragolf]

Wow what an amazing experience, thanks for sharing that. Very well written to boot.

[Bob Cat]

Mr Mackenzie,

Congratulations on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I just have to reiterate what others have voiced and that's what a fantastic portrayal you laid out in words and images.

Almost felt I was there.

There's a spot in my foursome for you [b]any time[/b].

[RVAUSMC]

Awesome post...This is why Tom Watson is my all time favorite golfer and Zach Johnson is a close second.

I am looking forward the Champions Tour coming to Richmond next year.

[jkc-rva]

Very cool! A memorable experience for sure. Glad to hear they were so personable and generous too!

[vix02]

Wow read and what an experience! Good job fellas!

[larrybud]

Class act by all involved, it sounds. Enjoy the memories!

Did you get any stories from them? Being older, I think I'd probably talk Tom's ear off. I want the dirt on Jack and Seve!

Also, if I were you, I would get a professional print, matte, and frame of you drinking out of the Claret Jug. It would be a great centerpiece in a future man-cave!

Do you think Zach Johnson would give beer to a minor?



















Better question: Do you think I would go all the way to Boston to drink water out of the Claret jug?

[bullie76]

Nice experience indeed. Most of us won't have a day like that.

[youraway2]

[cardoustie]

Big congrats and love the Claret Jug bet
