Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 5300033, member: 35"] We got a UConn connection to Augusta National. Ricky Moore attended high school in Augusta. I remember reading that Jim Calhoun went down there to speak at Ricky's graduation. I assume Ricky had already committed to UConn. BTW: Ricky would work at the golf club during The Masters. JC got a very nice perk on that visit. Ricky's Dad [Buck Moore] was a caddy at the club...also a caddy on the PGA tour at times. I believe that Buck arranged with a member to play with JC...JC's first round at Augusta. I suspect Buck knew of some members who were big hoop fans and would enjoy playing with JC. A non- member had to play with a member...that was their rule back then and I suspect it still is. Nice trade-off: JC...avid golfer...gets to play at Augusta...and a couple of hoop fans get to hear JC tell funny stories about big-time college ball. [/QUOTE]
