Mike GonzalezShe was the French amateur.
Susie Maxwell BerningAnd 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 GonzalezThat was her father.
Susie Maxwell BerningYeah, 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.
