Today was my first day at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open<\/a> where I volunteer each year in the media room — and sometimes I see golf.\u00a0 Since today was Pro-Am day, I looked down the list of amateurs to see if I knew anyone playing in case I go for a walk.<\/p>\n

About half way down the list, I see “Tony Kornheiser.” Mr. Tony is in Endicott and I don’t know this? This is the same town that advertised a Roy White<\/a> appearance for a month. Can’t be Tony from PTI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His playing partner: Harvey Stenger. The President at Binghamton University.\u00a0 I guess that was Mr. Tony.<\/p>\n

If you follow this blog, you may remember how I had my letter read<\/a> on Tony’s show, and the premise of that note was that they would send me a “TK” sticker that I would then pass along to President Stenger.<\/p>\n

So I ran out and found them on the 5th hole. After they finished the hole, I introduced myself and told them the story.\u00a0 Now I have President Stenger AND Tony, but the sticker was at home. They were both very nice and laughed at how this worked out.<\/p>\n

The best line: I told Tony I don’t have know what to do between 10 am – noon since I can’t listen while he’s off for the summer. His response: “Now I’m here in person.”<\/p>\n
