Read MoreDuring a round of golf on annual tour, a guy who joined up with us was having a rough day while playing for a small sum. He left a dozen, if he left one putt short. In frustration he exclaims, "what do I have to do to sink one"? As Gene walks of the green, he say's with a straight face, "hit it a little harder". One of the best one liners in golf history.

To Phil, Dan and the entire Butler family. I am very sorry to hear we've lost your dad. He was a great friend, golf buddy and serviceman. I'll miss him a bunch. I live by one of his quotes "99% of those that don't pass the hole won't go in." I always thought that meant give your best and you won't be disappointed.
