Convers gave me my 1st putter & taught me how to putt better.
Shelly (Bunch?) inspired me to be as good as she was when I met her. I was in awe that a chic could throw that far.
Scooba Steve taught me to be more aggressive & hard-core.
2-away taught me to shut-up & play.
I enjoy watching the pros play & trying to mimic their techniques.
Lacy inspires me to have 1 more beer!

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
For sure Babbit was a huge influence starting out in Emporia that guy is and always has been a class act. When I moved to Lawrence my game was shaped watching Henry Pohacsucut, That guy is a solid player and a great guy, Then when I thought I knew it all I met Randy Brown and I knew that I had a lot to learn.
