So much talent on the golf course.īut take me back right now, Peter, to 7th, 8th, 9th grade, Portland. I always enjoy cutting up with you, but I mentioned hall of fame: a little better luck with the body and, ladies and gentlemen, this would have been a hall of fame member right here. I’m at 20 surgeries since I turned 50 that’s scary. I’ve had quite a few holes-in-one because I’ve been fortunate like you to have a job that allows me to play a lot of golf. I was neck and neck with surgeries and holes-in-one, and I just went over the 20 mark in surgeries. How many surgeries have you had in your career, Peter? Open, the USGA, they don’t give me credit for that “Tin Cup” win, but it was the easiest win I’ve ever had! I had to beat two 12 handicappers for that crown, so I’m pretty proud of that. So in my mind, that’s a hall of fame career right there, Peter! Both of those were major championships, and then you won a U.S. By the way, seven PGA TOUR wins for Peter Jacobsen, the last one when he was 49 years old at Hartford, two wins on PGA Tour Champions. You’re one the most talented people I know. And please throw that away because I want to talk about you!

You want to, whether you’re interviewing someone or talking about another professional golfer, you don’t want to talk about you. Well Peter, for folks who hadn’t spent much time with you, you always play the golf announcer and you’re deflecting from talking about yourself.
They’re about to send me up there to hang out with you, though. I know I’ve been able to spend a lot more time with my family. Well, that’s certainly going to be one of the silver linings from not only the country but what the world’s going through now with the virus. So we’ve been running Nana and Papa Daycare every day for the last month, and I now know why the good Lord doesn’t let old people like us have kids because it’s exhausting!īut it’s incredibly valuable time, Charlie, as anybody out there that has grandkids knows that little special time that you spend each day with your kids is just very valuable time. And Jan (my wife) and I came up a month ago to watch their kids because the schools are closed. We have a daughter and son-in-law who are both doctors here in Westchester County, New York, the belly of the beast with this virus. Well, I’ve got to ask, where are you, Peter? It feels like you might be a little bit up North to me just from looking at what’s going on in the background there. I’m so proud and so happy to be joining you, my very good friend, on your show, and thanks for having me. I’m doing really well and the feeling is mutual. So I’m so thrilled on the Charlie Rymer Show to be joined by one of my very dear friends and one of my most favorite people on the entire planet. I’m Charlie Rymer, and this is the Charlie Rymer Golf Show powered by !
