Johnny, I just don't know enough about their behavior off camera to comment. I'm sure that there are some really terrific guys out there whom we rarely see since they are back in the pack most of the time. If I attended more tournaments, I might feel qualified.

I've heard that Phil signs autographs for fans the way Arnold Palmer used to. I've heard that John Daly interacts a lot with the gallery. But years ago I read a story about what a miserable person a particular golfer was, so I followed him around during a tournament to see for myself. What I found was a guy who was very quiet and kept to himself, but who was very conscientious about all the elements of golf etiquette and expected everyone else to be too. He gave dirty looks to fans who talked while his playing partners were trying to putt, and even had a few quiet words to say to them afterwards. I found that he just concentrated very hard on his game and avoided too many interactions with the fans and his playing partners during the round. I wrote the guy a letter telling him how wrong all the critical articles about him over the years had been, and he responded with a very gracious letter, the beginning of a pleasant correspondence.

My point is that what we read in the press and hear on TV may not be the whole story. A person has to see for himself.
