I knew that guy EXTREMELY well.  He passed away about 5-6 years ago and is sorely missed by his friends and golfing acquaintances — although he was quite the notorious sandbagged (thus, his nickname).

... I know you guys were good friends and he was truly one of a kind. On the surface a little snarky and cocky, but underneath a genuine teddy bear that would literally take the shirt off his back and give it to you if you needed it. I was playing well the last day so me alone against Sessm, Sandpounder and Weaselbagger playing best ball and I won by a stroke. Even though he lost, Larry was really happy for me and "not for nuthin'" paid his dollar bet that I keep as a reminder of him. Very much missed.

Yes. Larry and I often played as partners (sessem and Evan L will never let me forget the time we played Bethpage Black on Easter Sunday — weaselbagger and me against Steve and Evan). It was a $5 Nassau with some automatic presses and junk bets on the side. Larry and I walked away with $88 between us.  Evan still reminds me that I birdied both hole #15 (#1 handicap hole) and hole #6 (#2 handicap hole) that day, and he steadfastly refuses to negotiate any strokes with me when we play against each other.
