Wingate you were correct, 1979 was the year.....another bon mot. Am embarking in a week for a cruise in Australia/NZ. Part of the attraction will be my second golf trip with Perry Golf. Two years ago, wifey treated me on cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon, playing golf six times along the way. Had great time. Host and co-owner of Perry Golf, was Colin Daeglish (sp?). He played with John Cook, Joey Sindelar, and Ed Snead on that great Buckeye team. At welcome dinner, he noticed my Ohio State money clip, and recounted when he played on varsity with those guys, and that every five years or so, there is a golf team reunion in C'bus with Coach Jim. PS, unabashed plug for Perry Golf. These golf tours on Azamara Cruise Lines are exceptional. Everything done for you. From taking your bag when you board, until they deliver to your stateroom at end, plus everything inbetween. Busses to course, bags placed on carts with your playing partners, lunches laid out, sodas and beers at the turn, and party time after the round, meet-and-greet dinners, cocktail hours onboard, they've got it all. Our golf stops along the way were on exceptional courses. Am looking forward to doing it again. Failed to mention one important aspect. These meet-and-greets were for the players to meet, but more importantly, our golf widows did their own networking, and buddied up for port tours while we were teeing it up. Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended. Turns out Colin and I were at tOSU same time, me working for my MBA, and him as an undergrad playing on golf team. I said OH, and he replied IO.....
