RIP Chi Rodriguez

[Obliviax]

One of the best ever. Certainly one of the most entertaining.

He was the Grand Marshal at the Rose Parade in 1995 for PSU vs Oregon. 😢

Chi Chi would often play shots in a tournament where he would pretend that there was a tall tree at the front of the green or water 1 foot left of the green just to make him hit a more challenging shot. He said it made the game more fun. So there were times when he would hit a 60 degree wedge shot 100 feet in the air for the ball to go 20 yard even though he could have chipped the ball with a 7 iron at 8 feet in the air. He had a short par four that he opened in Florida that 10-20 times a year that he would play. It was designed to get kids to play golf. You paid a small fee and then you could play as many holes as you wanted to back in the day, course was near Clearwater and I took my boy there a number of times.

Will never forget his signature sword fighting move that he did right in front of us at the parade.

Penn State used to have this as well.
Small fee 6 or 8 hole course.

Played his course in Clearwater many a time waaaay back in the day. Green fees were very inexpensive.

I'm going to pull out the sword tomorrow when I make a putt.

You beat me to it. I would have posted that earlier except I was busy because I had to go to a swim meeting.

He had one of the best quotes about seriously hot women.... "someone is getting tired of f'ing them."

Sharon, Pa has a free golf course.

Back in my day it was called Dum-Dum.
