I saw Raymond Floyd win his first tournament in person, he was 20 years old and I was 13. I started playing golf in 1962 and I grew up in St. Petersburg. I went to the 1963 St. Petersburg Open and Ray Floyd was the winner. The entire purse was $25,000 and first prize was $2,500. I had Tommy Bolt golf clubs, so I followed Tommy Bolt and Dave Marr, who was a very quiet fellow and never smiled, just the opposite of Tommy. 1964 was the last year of the St. Petersburg Open, it was replaced on the tour by the Jacksonville Open.
