By: The Turn Golf Magazine As the scramble format started to take shape, the event officials informed me that Tiger would rotate among groups for two holes at a time. They also informed me that my group would be first off Hole #1 when we started. The two to three thousand people watching made my group and myself a little nervous. The first hole was a double fairway and I was embarrassed to ask Tiger which way the hole went. I proceeded to play down the right side for a dogleg right. Tiger stepped up and aimed over the trees left and hit a rocket. The crowd commented that his ball might have been on the green. I felt like a true club professional. The group made birdie and moved to the second hole, a par three about 125 yards long. My claim to fame was that I outdrove Tiger on this hole. My shot was about 20 feet away and all of my team members had missed the putt. Tiger knocked the ball in dead center. I asked Tiger what it would be like to see a putt four times prior to putting. He said in a soft voice, “I would never miss” and with that he thanked us for joining him.
