Subject:  1999 starting lineup and side bets for the "Even Smoother Strokers

Gabes,
First, thanks for all of your diligence and hard work in leading us through
the year 2 draft.  Now that we are about to begin, that is the last nice thing
I will say to you until reunion '99 - and then don't expect much.  And you are
on for a Jackson!

It must be difficult to do this when you have instructionally challenged
individuals like Albert and Mags.  I believe that your instruction concerning
weekly skins was "Remember, respond only if you do not want in".  Albert then
proceeds to talk about spending $3 to defecate in the forest and Mags follows
the stinky trail to watch him.  In line with your instructions, you will not
be hearing from me!

Hans, if you think that Hal Sutton will win two tournaments again before he is
50, you are ripe for picking.  By the end of the year, Hal will be in the
booth trying to help us understand what the hell his Virginia friend Curtis
Strange is saying (nice pick Sobo - once again Strange will make 20 times more
money on the mike than on the moss - by the way your on for $20 also).  Have
you ever been so sick of the Virginia accent bullshit.  And that brings me to Ikey.

Anyone who goes to the Outer Banks in January and complains about the weather
is a pussy and should have side bets with everyone.  Will you go for a
Jackson, Ike.  Say hello to Tina for me and go a little further south next
year - like 1,000 miles.  You can afford it, matter of fact,  you can afford
to take us all to Ireland with you in September!

Willo, your abuse to me for slow play (I should have picked "All Day") was
weak.  The notion that I should send you $100?  I will mail it to your
proctologist (if you don't know who that is call Ikey) who will roll it up,
apply porcupine bristles to it, and give it to you where it belongs - Albert's
thoughts helped me with this procedure.  Now, if you want to wager a Jackson,
that is a different story - are you on?

The starting line up for the newly named "Even Smoother Strokers" is

Justin Leonard
Mark Calcavecchia
Payne Stewart
Steve Jones
Michael Bradley
Tommy Armour III
Dudley Hart

As you might be able to tell, the weather sucks here in Indy and I am on my
third Starbucks!
