    Smile Get your eyes checked for better scoring

    About 10 years ago my golf game had fallen into a state of disrepair, and I was determined to get to the bottom of what was wrong. Feeling my hand-eye coordination was at fault, I sought out the best ophthalmologist I could find, Dr. Robert Hepler. After a consultation, he wrote me a letter explaining he would conduct a thorough examination. He wrote that I should bring a driver to the appointment, and I thought that was so insightful--he didn't ask me to bring a putter or a 5-iron, he wanted me to bring the driver, which tends to reveal the slightest flaws in your swing.
    On the day of the appointment, I got a brand-new driver out of the shop at Bel-Air. My wife, Lisa, and I drove to Dr. Hepler's office, and as I waited to see him, I noticed the stares of the other patients. How strange it must have seemed to them, my bringing a golf club to an eye appointment!
    When Dr. Hepler saw me and the club, he started laughing. "No," he said, "I meant for you to bring a driver so you would have a ride home after the appointment." The story got around fast, and I became the laughingstock of the community. Dr. Hepler was a big help--he mounted the driver on his office wall. Like a big fish.

    Great story, but I think that Eddie Merrins, whose interview is featured in the January, 2007 GolfDigest.com, quotes exactly the same story. Is one of our dearest Ottawa players feeding lines to Eddie Merrins?

    Friend of mine sent me this. So OK it is not my story. I was too lazy to change it. So here goes. I went to see Docteur La Breast and she told me that my eye sight was just fine and if I were to focus on the ball the same way I focus on clevage I would do just fine.

    You are the model of political correctness.
