Didn’t see it, but it’s kind of interesting to see how elite athletes from other sports play golf. I had the chance by accident years ago when ny boss and I went out to Minnechaug in Glastonbury when it was still 18 holes. They paired us with two Hartford Whalers. Captain Russ Anderson and forward Bob Sullivan (a minor league scoring star who didn’t translate well into the NHL.) Granted neither my boss nor I were Tiger Woods, more like Easter Bunny Woods, and we weren’t in TV, it was interesting.

Sullivan, a lefty and kind of average size played just so so. Anderson is big. About 6’4 and solid as a brick who spit his way around the course. His 1st tee shot was awful and mine was good. I remember thinking I’m better than these guys. It turned out that was maybe my last good shot and by far Anderson’s worst. I think he shot 73 and was really long. If he had concentrated on golf he had pro level ability.

Nice guys. We had a beer with them after the round. Sullivan was more outgoing, but both shared some hockey experiences.
