“Kyle told me had a buddy who was really good.”

“More importantly, his short game was impressive, and he talked about working on it because that was how he would go to the next level.”

“He was friendly, courteous and unassuming. His course etiquette was wonderful, and I enjoyed playing with him often over the next two years before he went off to UK. He was also funny as hell, a trait I assume he also got from his dad, Maurice.”

“I am just so proud of John. I cant hardly stand it, but I also look forward to watching a kid whose other hobby in those days was fishing in the lake on the backside at Campbellsville Country Club mesmerizing TV audiences for years to come and to think Kehoe wanted him to go to Louisville.”
