Nick Price - "My Tour School Class of Crazies" SHORT TRACK

Listen in as Bruce recalls Mac wanting to "play with himself" in a four-ball event, playing from both sides of the ball, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle.
Mike GonzalezThen it started to poke just a couple of other uh PGA regular tour wins uh 1998 won the St. Jude in a playoff with uh one of the one of your graduating class from the one of my good buddy Sluman, yeah. Uh huh. You know, by the way, speaking of that graduating class, you had some real characters, didn't you? I mean, you had Macko Grady, Ken Green, uh Gary McCord, and then Judy's right there.
Nick PriceHoly small. Well, Macko Grady I'd known in Europe. He came over and played in Europe. And uh, you know, he I mean he he he looked at life through a different lens to us, let's put it that way. He had some really crazy ideas, but Oh I mean, you talk about a ball striker, that guy could really crush the ball. I mean, he could he could compress it uh as well as anyone. And probably a lot of people don't realize this, but he was the longest one out there in 83, 84. He was one of the longest hitters out there. Um but you know at the both sides of the ball. Yeah, he could hit it, he could hit it left-handed as well.
Bruce DevlinBut um he wanted to he you know, he wanted to play with himself in the four-ball tournament. He did. He didn't sound that doesn't sound quite right. That sounds quite kinky, Bruce. He wanted to hit two balls off the team, one right-handed, one left hand. And playing and take the best ball.
Mike GonzalezSomehow I remember I vaguely remember that.
Bruce DevlinYeah. He politics hard to do that. Pretty fun. It started to put it on.
