Wow... I never even really knew Ken Green but his stories about the Masters are great!

I might just have to pick up his book...

I didn't realize that he started both the kid caddy for the par 3 or the skip the ball on 16 ... that's pretty cool.

This was a great read so happy that I took a little time for it. Thanks!

 

Kenny Green was a nice player BTW. Not great but capable of winning an occasional event 50-100 type guy. He was also a character. He was in a terrible accident of some sort a number of years back - lost the use of some of his limbs.

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

I met Ken when he was playing the Sunbelt Senior Tour a number of years back. Quite a character. He was involved in a horrible vehicle accident about 10 year or so now. His motor home blew a steer tire and actually hit a guard rail. His girlfriend at the time and his pet dog were killed and Ken lost an leg. Glad to see he wrote a book
