I have been fortunate to have played golf with many distinguished
people. I have played with golfers Jerry Pate, Hubert Green &
Buddy Gardner. Football coaches Paul "Bear" Bryant (many times),
Pat Dye (former head coach Auburn University), Bill Battle (former
head coach University of Tennessee)
Evil Kineval (what a blast!!!, he would bet on anything!!!) and George
Lindsey (Gober on the Andy Griffith show) He is from my home town and
he would delight us as kids to play golf with us, What a great guy.
Hope to hear from other golfers about famous playing partners

Know a couple famous people...never played golf with them.

I have never actually golfed with anyone famous, but i have golfed with one of the best amateurs in my province and i joined up with the premeire of my province in august when he was golfing with his wife.
Thats about all.

I played with Fred Funk. He was 14 & I was 15, if that counts. We went to the same middle & high school, along with a former Detroit Lions QB(briefly). He says he wasn't very good back then but he was a heck of a lot better than any of the rest of us who played, although there weren't that many of us... golf wasn't very popular among teens back in the late 60's/early '70's.

Although the pay stinks, the people you meet in this business is impressive. People I have played with: Former President Bush and Fred Couples at Cape Arundel, Phil Mickelson AND Bones (Bones took all the money), Joe Theisman (several times a year), Coach Knight, Coach Cremmins, John Mellencamp, Fuzzy Zoeller, and MANY other "not-so-star" Tour Players. One LPGA player that is up and coming I have played many times with is Reilley Rankin.

Talk about betting, I played a few times with Charles Oakley and Jason Williams and those guys bet on EVERYTHING and they also TIP for EVERYTHING.

Like I said, low pay but the people you meet are wonderful.

I hope the tip you received from Charles Barkley was of the monetary nature....and not a golf tip!

charles OAKLEY.

Oops! See...I got confused just thinking of Barkley's swing!

Charles Oakley looks like a cat thrown off a 4 story building when he swings. He is so tall, I can't watch him swing cause it always looks like he is going to get tangled up. I have been FORTUNATE enough NOT to play with Charles Barkley...lol. If my headcover started taunting him, he could easily squash me...lol.

When I was a young punk I played with Scott Baio, and beat him :) That's the only famous person I played with.

In my college golf program I worked a couple celebrity tournaments. The most notable person I caddied for was Neil Armstrong.

David Berganio Jr. plays about once a month at the course I work on. And Randy West is a member.

Never played with anyone famous. I was on the practice tee next to Lee Jansen at Lake Nona in Orlando one December day.

The one grand thing you realize when playing with the rich and powerful is that Golf shows no favorites and their mistakes are penalized just as much as ours. Man I love this game.

Hey REMOTE, when are we gonna play Porter?

Well, you probably know when you are going to play it but when are you going to play it with me?

Are either one, or both, of you famous?

Gary Player and Ernie Els - both wonderful to play with and absolute gentlemen
