Darren Clark is one of my favorite all time golfers. I was in the back yard of a friends place at Harbor Town during a tournament he played in many years ago. The horn sounded and the rain/weather delay started. All the players went back to the clubhouse, except for Darren. Darren noticed we had a keg of beer and came over and hung out with us during the delay. He had several cold ones with us and had his caddy pull his box of good cuban cigars out of his golf bag. We had a blast, then the play resumed and back he went onto the course, where he went on fire and made it to the top of the leaderboard. The next morning at my friends place, a big truck pulled in, a couple of guys got out and brought in a keg of Guinness, with a note from Darren that read that we needed to drink some good beer instead of Budweiser. When he came by during his round, we poured him a glass of Guinness and he chugged it down as he walked down the fairway. It was a classic moment that you had to be there to appreciate. Glad he is still hitting them well, go Darren : ) You gotta love the Irish!
