John Cook (official thread)

John has been a stellar player on the Champions Tour. Solid golfer and stand up guy. Buckeye fans should be proud to have him as an alumn.

About 8 years ago my friend and i went to one of the practice rounds at the TPC in Ponte Vedra and for some reason we got access to the parking lot for all the players at TPC and we saw a huge motor home van all decked out in Scarlet and Gray colors with Thee Ohio State University written on the right side. We automatically thought that it had to be Johns.

That sounds like somebody's home.

What you were looking for was probably more like this:

Forward a decade or so at the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Michigan and Cook is in 2nd or 3rd place in the tourney and playing I believe hole number 16. He pushes his tee shot in the right rough next to where my Dad and I are standing. John comes up and must had either remembered me or saw my OSU gear and asked me "What do you think I should hit here?". I say 6 iron, and his caddie is shaking his head "no". John looks at the caddie and the caddie says "7". He looks at me and says "6, huh?" Yes, I say.
"Well, I pay him so give me the 7." He hits the shot and comes up 35 feet short. As he leaves to go down the fairway he turns to me and says "should have hit the 6."

good thing no official was around.
