It caused quite a controvesy a year or two ago when Ken Venturi authored "Getting Up and Down" and pretty much accused Palmer of violating the rules and Cliff Roberts giving Palmer preferencial treatment. __________________ Drew Let Your Motion Make the Shot. drewitgolf View Public Profile Send a private message to drewitgolf Visit drewitgolf's homepage!
