Back from San Diego: golf at Del Mar CC and lunch with Duke Snider the legend

Thanks to Mike Dorvillier and Dennis Wise I had the pleasure of playing a nice round of golf at the Aztec Classic held at the Del Mar CC. The biggest one day fundraiser in college sports. Nice to meet the key business players in the San Diego area. What was more interesting was to see Bill Gates name on one of the member lockers.

The next day was a nice lunch at the Hall of Champions with Duke Snider and the GM of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Great baseball stories and a great perspective on the game and how it has changed. Very inspirational and entertaining.

In the split second from the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hand until it reaches the plate you have to think about your stride, your hip action, your wrist action, determine how much, if any the ball is going to break and then decide whether to swing at it. ....
Duke Snider

The big bummer was that I forgot to bring my digital camera.
