True Story, In 1975 and 18 yrs. old, fresh out of school, not knowing a soul out there. I moved from Michigan to California to race MX, I was living in the back of my pick-up truck with a cab-high topper at the State Park in Big Sur. Just me, and everything I owned including a fresh Hiro/Penton.
 One day I was driving around and looking for a job...I past a sign that was the entrance to Pebble Beach Country Club, I thought to myself, "hey, I've heard of this joint on T.V." .With no fear I wheeled in to ask for work. The man said to me, "do you have any experience" and I replied " yep, I've been mowing grass half of my life". The guy says back to me, "well, there's a little more to it than just cutting the grass"  [8D]  I always look back at that day and laugh.
A couple days later I landed a job in Modesto, at the Kawasaki, Bultaco, Triumph shop.

Rob,
That's what I call fun!:D I had the opportunity years ago to ride on one before it was finished. The financing for the place fell through, and a few of us tore it up for a while till it was sold again.:( Thomas might have heard about it. It was at "Morgan's Pointe", which is now Charleston National, up 17 north.

OK, all this golf talk has forced this,

Seems a young woman was playing golf and she got stung by a bee, and was quite concerned. She runs into the Pro Shop and shouts, 'Is there a doctor in here?' A fellow at the bar replies, casually, "Yeah, I'm a doctor, what is the problem?"
The woman cried, "I was stung by a bee and am worried about it!"
The doctor asks, "Where were you stung?"
The woman replies, "Between the first and second hole."
The doctor, taking a drink says, " your stance is too wide."

See all you duffers on Saturday in the chow line,

Doug,

I would be interested in an early morning round Saturday, do you have room?  We'll be coming in on Thursday afternoon.  I'm bringing a couple guys from Cape Girardeau, MO with me and will probably camp with Dennis Jones.  I'll bring my sticks, I don't know much about motorcycles (yet) but I do know golf!  I'd love to knock it around with you!
