Funny, back in 1990 I was involved in the Eisenhower Trophy as I had a number sponsored player there, Mickelson played out of his skin on the last few holes to tie 2nd with NZ producing some freakish short game shots to do so.
But, prior to the start of the tournament, he was referred to by most players as "Champagne Charlie".
Yeah, I thought it funny when I first asked him he said "I'm tired, maybe at half time." My thought was, if your so tired why are you at a Basketball game that won't end until almost midnight. But he came over at half time just like he said... I think it was because this big dude was with him most of the night and when I asked he wasn't there... Bodyguard? Else he was real nice when he came over.
Lol. I played a lot of golf with golf pros friends over the year, we always gambled - my worst/funniest bet was to a one who said he would give me 2 shots on the last hole (a Par 5) and he would play left handed with his right handed clubs, but I had to let him have ONE free shot right-handed. I took him on. He proceeded to play with his 5 iron and it took him 5 shots to be short of the green, whereas I was 2 shots (net 0)...easy money huh?
He knocked his on the green for 6, and as I was about to take my shot he told me to wait, he wanted to have his free righthanded shot, he then proceed to walk over to mine and hit it about 200 metres down the fairway and out of bounds with a three wood...
