Lee TrevinoMany times.
Mike GonzalezSo while we're on the subject, let's hear about this incident because Lee Gloria was the one that told me this story about at some point you putting him to bed. I don't remember all the details.
Lee TrevinoWell, I'll tell you one thing. I was sober enough where I didn't get in there with him. So we we absolutely enjoyed life. It was different back then. Uh not a lot of the wives traveled, uh, as you well know when we played. Uh we had families and the wives stayed home with the kids uh going to school and what have you. But um, yeah, we we like to pint here and there. Uh we we had a few uh here and there, and sometimes we had a few too many, and this is what happened to us. Yeah.
Bruce DevlinWell, that was a victory evening, if you remember. That's when I won the uh one what would be now called the World Golf Championship at uh at uh uh I believe it was Burkdale.
Lee TrevinoYeah. Anyhow, it was it was Burkdale. It was Burkdale, yeah.
