    Saw Fuzzy’s ace at Glen Oaks. I was sitting under the tv tower. Hung up for 11 seconds, and God blew on it.

    I followed Fuzzy’s career very closely. He was one of the longest drivers of his era, although in those days Norman was best driver of the ball in the world. The difference was, in my opinion, that when Fuzzy had a chance to win, he often won. Whereas with Norman, and all those chances, something strange would happen. Fuzzy was a helluva player, but a character. Only he can say how he felt on the inside, but on the outside he exuded charm and nonchalance. That must be tough to compete against under so much pressure. Of course he cared, but you would hardly know it. Won the Masters as a rookie with a local caddie and won the U.S. Open head to head on a brutal course against the world #1. The pride of southern Indiana. Good on you Frank Urban Zoeller!

    One of the most entertaining and naturally talented golfers of all time. Lee Trevino is another one. Playing by feel instead of trying to develope a mechanically perfect swing. It proves there is more than one method that can produce incredible results.

    1979. LA Open post-round. Fuzzy and his caddy, no one else around at the range. I was a teen a teen with my friend: Fuzzy told us dirty jokes and hit trick shots for us (uncanny--because of his casual demeanor, people underestimated his skill) and we were in heaven. In retrospect, it's so unfortunate that he's most remembered for the stupid joke he told, because he was such a great guy, and a far better human being than Woods the GOAT or Norman the GCOT. But real people often fall prey to the self-righteous.

    I absolutely hate Father Time. He’s taken away all of my favorite players. What I wouldn’t give to attend a PGA Tour Major in the mid 80’s.
    Fuzzy’s swing was awesome to watch, but I loved to watch him putt.
    Also, the high collar Lacoste shirt with the belt-less Sansibelt pants…love it!!

    With the U.S. Open officially ditching the 18-hole playoff last year, Fuzzy Zoeller's 3-under par 67 in the 18-hole playoff will stand for all time (unless they bring back the 18-hole playoff) as the lowest score ever recorded in an 18-hole playoff at the U.S. Open.
