Thanks for sharing - he is the man! He is the speaker at an Alzheimer's fundraiser dinner here in Dallas about every other year and is incredible every time.

I've heard him speak several times and I almost never hear him tell the same story twice.

Couple favorites - Early in his career after he had had some success, he was out mowing his lawn in Dallas. A neighbor he didn't know and she clearly didn't know him mistook him for a lawncare worker and asked how much he charged for lawn service. He just replied with "well the lady in this house lets me have sex with her."

Another from when he was young. Said his grandpa loved to go drinking and dancing at the bars on Henderson Ave in Dallas. Said every month he (Lee) would go bar to bar and pay off his grandpa's tabs.

Any aware of this project or able to speak to it? Seems like a good location for another golf course, especially because I presume the price was right.

Have talked to a couple of buddies about it, both work in the golf business. Said the owners of the Tanner's franchises are behind it. Hear they are gonna have trouble routing an 18-hole golf course that's over 6,000 yards, but don't know if that's valid or not.

Your buddies are correct. I never played the original, but friends that grew up in Elkhorn said it was very tight back then - and will be even more so going forward. There are a couple of ridiculous doglegs around houses on the revamped layout. No driving range. $25k down stroke. Monthly dues are pretty steep too. Clubhouse does look great though.

About a hop skip and a jump from my in laws.
