Homer Kelley actually met Byron Nelson at an exhibition near the peak of his career. After witnessing a dazzling display of golfing skills, Homer -- always the seeker -- was able to ask him a question. Unfortunately, he received a very benign answer, something like "I just hit it."

After relating the story to our assembled class, Homer summed it up this way:

"Not much help there."
