Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to hook.

Susie Maxwell Berning

I'll tell you another funny b story. That's when uh maybe I should wait on this one. This was this involves the 67 US Open.

Mike Gonzalez

Yeah, go ahead. So yeah.

Susie Maxwell Berning

That's the one that Kathleen Lacoste won as an amateur.

Mike Gonzalez

Yeah, at the homestead, yeah.

Susie Maxwell Berning

And I yeah, at the Homestead and I finished second.

Mike Gonzalez

She was the French amateur.

Susie Maxwell Berning

And I do recall, I mean, I was tied with her. She did play good. She had Bertie died I think the 17th old. And meanwhile, I am boguing the sixteenth old, like clubbing a chip. And I mean to this day I can recall the chip. Uh I wasn't used to being muted grass and the grass kind of grabbed my club and anyway. After the tournament's over with and you know, I I don't think we drank then. I mean, maybe we had a beer, I don't remember. Anyway, we're all staying around a a lodge and on cabins. And so Lacosse shirt, you know, the shirt with the alligator?

Mike Gonzalez

That was her father.

Susie Maxwell Berning

Yeah, well I went knocking on various doors of LPJ players, and I said, I know you wear Lacosse shirts. Give me. Give me have 'em. And I went to Haney and why do you want my shirt? I said, just let me have your shirt. Well, there was a barbecue and a bomb fire. That's that's where the shirts ended up. Oh, most of them, most everybody thought it was funny except uh Sandra Haney was rather upset with me.

Mike Gonzalez

Whack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. And it started to slice, just smitch off line. It had it for two, but it bounced off now. My caddies, as long as you're still in the state, you're okay.
