April 2006 I was invited to a golf outing in Atlanta. It was the Atlanta chapter Ohio State Booster club who put it on at a very nice golf/country club just outside Atlanta in Decator. Beautiful place. I went with a good buddy of mine, who goes to this event every 5 yrs. He meets about 6 of his close high school buddies from Carey , Ohio. It was a 4 day event, and everyone stayed at my buddies cousin's house . His cousin , by the way is a Buckeye Alumni, and he organizes golf outtings for a living( for various clubs, buisness's, etc.) . Cool career ehh? At any rate I got the very great pleasure in meeting some former Buckeye greats. One in particular.......Archie Griffin. What a wonderful, humble human being. Keith Byers was also there, that guys hands can palm a 16 lb bowling ball( thier huge). The golfing itself for me was a challenge, because it was the 1 st time I had ever played in steep elevations ( there are no hills in Florida). I could not believe one par 3 was close to a 40 ft drop from tee to green, that was crazy. After golfing, the clubhouse was full of various Alumni, boosters, and former players. But I wanted to get a photo with Archie, and I ended up getting one, he also signed a football for me and my visor I wore that day. All in all it was a wonderful experiance. They had various prizes and give aways throughout the outting. And I cannot forget the hot females they had riding through the course selling beer and other drinks( that was cool). I will never forget that weekend..............
Go Bucks!
