Which college degrees give you the best chances of entering a successful career path after graduation? Concentrating on Truett-McConnell College accreditation, for example, may give you additional focus in the admissions selection process. Check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, course registration deadlines, and college degree program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Truett-McConnell College.
College or career school costs can vary significantly and there are many schools with affordable tuition and generous financial assistance. You may be able to get school credit based on your knowledge or life experiences, allowing you to manage your course work in order to reduce costs. If academically possible, take more credit classes each semester, reducing the amount of time needed to graduate.
Studies suggest that colleges are not looking for the well-rounded kid, but rather a well-rounded class. Your task is to show the schools exactly where you will fit into their freshman pool. Are you a jock or a straight-A student? Well then, present yourself in that light. About one quarter of seniors apply to seven or more colleges in order to increase their chances of being accepted to a first-tier college or university. Even as late as April, there may still be openings in first-tier colleges for the fall semester. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Martin Methodist College lecture series for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Revision as of 13:42, 5 August 2013
There is also the list of primary characters.
Abelard Arbogast[1] is the driver of the hearse that strikes Rocky while he and Ivy are in Defiance searching for alcohol. Abelard first appears in "Haymaker", discussing matters with Bobby, his passenger, after having damaged the hearse while pursuing Rocky and Ivy, and is named in "Predicament". He is dressed in a minister's outfit, and in "Haymaker", Bobby refers to him as an "ordained maniac". Ivy threatens Abelard and Bobby with a gun that she took from their hearse in "Jellybeans", though after Bobby indicates that he believes Ivy and Rocky are just trying to steal their liquor, Ivy points out that they intended to purchase it. However, Bobby states that their simply being present is now an issue. In "Brimstone", Abelard advances on Ivy and demands that she give him the gun, but quickly backs down when she fires several bullets into the hearse. Ivy asks them what it will take to convince them that they are all on the same side, and Bobby asks what bootleggers Ivy is affiliated with. Abelard, Bobby and Ivy take Rocky's unconscious body to the Arbogast Funeral Home in "Undertaker", where Elsa, Abelard's sister, tends to his head wound. Abelard is largely quiet as Bobby and Elsa relate the history of their involvement with Lackadaisy to Ivy in "Medicament" and "Gravediggers", though he does interject at one point, noting that the individuals who had begun robbing their supplies of liquor also shot their organ player. Abelard finally interrupts Bobby's storytelling in "Bygones". At that point, Ivy asks them to go into business with Lackadaisy again, but they flatly refuse. Bobby and Abelard explain to Ivy in "Coercion" that they are now working for Marigold, who insist on exclusivity. By threatening them with Viktor's retaliation for their wounding of Rocky, she convinces them to negotiate.
Abelard is a reverend and the village minister.[1] He is in his early 50s.[2] His religion is Lutheran, probably Missouri Synod.[2]
Abelard is depicted in color on the new character page, and as a human in "Abelard". Tracy has noted that his design is inspired by Peter Cushing.[3]
Mrs. Bapka
Mrs. Bapka, first shown in "Dotage", is Viktor's upstairs neighbor. As evidenced in "Dotage" she is an elderly woman who appears to have little knowledge of English; most of her dialog is in a foreign language. In "Dotage" she interrupts a conversation between Ivy, Rocky, Freckle and Viktor, wanting Viktor's assistance to fix her sink. Due to Viktor's injuries, Freckle and Ivy go in his place. In "Handyman", she watches while Ivy and Freckle fix her sink and discover that one of the pipes is filled with small fish. In "Sandwich", Mrs. Bapka, perhaps inadvertently, uses the fish while making sandiwches for Ivy and Freckle.
In "Tannenbaum", it is shown that Mrs. Bapka once gave Viktor a fuzzy green sweater for the holidays...or possibly because it was cold outside and he was shoveling snow.
Viktor and Ivy appear to understand Mrs. Bapka, while Rocky does not.[4][5] Mrs. Bapka, like Viktor, is a Slovak.[6]
Mrs. Bapka is depicted in color on the new character page.
Benjy Jessup
An associate of the pig farmers, Benjy Jessup is first mentioned in "Lambaste". During the attack on the pig farm, Benjy was playing checkers and shooting squirrels with Emery, one of the farmers. In "Muckamuck", Emery is sent by Avril to retrieve Jessup, as he owns a truck and the farmers' vehicles have been destroyed in Rocky's attack.
Benjy is first seen in "Bunny-box", the pig farmers riding in the back of his truck while he drives, following Rocky and Viktor after they have procured liquor from Captain Kehoe. In "Drygulch", Benjy and the farmers approach the Little Daisy garage with guns openly displayed. After Viktor notes their approach and turns off the lights in the garage, Benjy asks whether the farmers have been seen, but Avril replies that he does not care. Benjy and the farmers break into the garage and engage Viktor in a firefight in "Myopia" after Benjy quotes Maj. Gen. John Pope.
Benjy is next seen in "Rowdydow", where it appears he may be attempting to leave the garage when Ivy walks in. Seeing Viktor approaching from the other direction, Benjy attempts to shoot him, but Ivy throws off his aim. Benjy almost shoots Ivy, though this appears to be accidental, before Viktor punches him out. Viktor subsequently punches him out, and in "Stranglehold" puts Benjy in a stranglehold. Ivy leaves to get assistance for Viktor even though he claims...poorly...that he does not need it, and Benjy asks her not to leave. After Benjy states that he just wants to go to his truck and leave, Viktor states that it is now his truck.
Benjy does not appear in the comic again, though in "Houdini" a tail is seen hanging out of the back of the Lackadaisy truck while Viktor and Ivy are discussing Benjy's whereabouts. In a forum posting, Tracy confirmed that Benjy is dead at Viktor's hands.[7]
Benjy is depicted in color with the pig farmers on the new character page.
Bix is Wick's chauffeur. He first appears driving Wick's car in "Quacksalver". Lacy later mentions Bix in "Mephistopheles", noting that she would like a ride home and Bix is not around to drive her.
Cecil is mentioned in "Rhubarb" as an acquaintance of Ivy's who apparently became afraid of her at some point. Ivy confronts Viktor, asking whether he is responsible for Cecil's change of heart, and Viktor responds that Cecil, "vas...no good" after calling "Cecil" a terrible name, apparently in part because nothing rhymes with it.
Chad is seen in "Academia". He is Ivy's ex-boyfriend. When seen he is in a wheelchair, with his arms and legs broken. Upon seeing Ivy he retreats swiftly, leaving Ivy to wonder, "Why does that always happen?" In "Rhubarb", Ivy confronts Viktor, asking whether he is responsible for Chad's change of heart, and Viktor responds that Chad, "vas...bad".
An associate of Wick's and an investor in Sable Stone and Quarry[1], Edmund[1] Church generally appears with two unnamed associates. Though he associates with Wick, he often speaks of him acerbically. Based on his attire Church is upper-class. In "Quarrymen", Church appears less interested in Wick's blasting of a new quarry, much less Wick's interest in rocks, than in his promise to take Church and his associates to dinner at the Mayfair Room afterwards. When Wick proposes going out after dinner, Church favors Marigold as, "the only worthwhile venue around here these days", though Wick considers Marigold to be, "suffocatingly ritzy". Wick, Church and their associates arrive at Lackadaisy in "Hallelujah".
In "Overture", Church and his companions are openly skeptical of Mitzi's proposal for investing in Lackadaisy, and Mitzi is interrupted when Rocky arrives with the liquor he obtained from Captain Kehoe. Though Church seems uninterested in Mitzi's offer, Wick encourages her to continue, stating that Church will come around if Mitzi emphasizes the potential for profit.
In "Killjoy", Zib attempts to convince Mitzi to get everyone to leave Lackadaisy ahead of the pig farmers; when she resists he takes matters into his own hands, announcing that the speakeasy is being raided and pushing Ivy, Wick, Church and their associates out the door, though Mitzi refuses to go with them. Church notes to Wick in "Caveat" that it is likely for the best, as he feels there are numerous other, legal investment opportunities available. Church goes on to suggest that Wick brought Church and his associates there so that Wick would make a good impression on Mitzi. After Wick refers to Mitzi as a "damsel in distress", Church notes that according to rumor she is "anything but", and advises Wick that continuing his involvement with Lackadaisy could harm his standing. Wick and Church part ways for the evening in "Quacksalver", with Wick noting that he is tired of Church's vitriol, though he does refer to Church as a friend.
Church enjoys playing golf.[1] With regards to Church's voice, Tracy has noted that it would probably consist of, "Bored affluence and a little disdain for everything around him in his voice - not too much of a 'snob' caricature, though. There's at least a trace of genuineness to him".[8]
A human Church appears in "Counterpart", and he is depicted in color on the new character page.
Claude is mentioned in "Rhubarb" as an acquaintance of Ivy's who apparently became afraid of her at some point. Ivy confronts Viktor, asking whether he is responsible for Claude's change of heart, and Viktor responds that Claude, "vas...flawed".
Cuddy is an apparent alcoholic whom Asa relates a joke about in "Cutthroat".
Elsa, who first appears in "Undertaker", is Bobby's wife[1] and the sister of Abelard, and works at the Arbogast Funeral Home as a mortician, with Abelard and Bobby. In "Undertaker" it is revealed that Elsa and Bobby are close, and he asks her to tend to the injuries Rocky sustained in "Haymaker". Elsa claims in "Medicament" that she is a former nurse. Bobby notes that he met her shortly after World War I. When Bobby notes that Ivy claimed she was sent to them by Viktor, Elsa expresses concern for Viktor and surprise that he did not come to Defiance himself. Ivy notes that Viktor is "slightly indisposed". While they discuss their connections to Lackadaisy, Elsa notes that Atlas was always "difficult to read", but, "mild, softspoken", though Bobby seems more dubious, referring to Atlas as, "Machiavellian". Elsa cuts Bobby off as he is sharing more of their involvement with Lackadaisy with Ivy in "Gravediggers", asking him not to tell Ivy any further "awful stories", though Ivy is eager to hear more. After Ivy convinces Abelard and Bobby to negotiate with her for alcohol in "Coercion", Elsa asks to speak with Ivy alone. Elsa and Ivy speak alone in "Coercion", and while making it obvious that she thinks Ivy is in over her head, Elsa also makes it clear that she knows Viktor did not send Ivy to Defiance, as he would "just as soon send his own daughter"...effectively revealing that Viktor has one.
Elsa is in her late 30s, slightly younger than Bobby.[2]
Elsa is depicted as a human in "Elsa Faces", and shown in color on the new character page.
The doorman for Lackadaisy, Horatio Bruno[1] first appears in a photograph seen in "Introduction 3". Horatio first appears with dialog in "Growltiger". He joins Mitzi in attempting to convince Viktor to wear a tuxedo. They are predictably unsuccessful. Horatio later greets Ivy and Freckle when they come to Lackadaisy in "Wishy-washy", displeasing Ivy by asking whether she has, "found another one already". After Ivy, Wick, Church and the other Lackadaisy patrons are ejected from the speakeasy by Zib in "Killjoy", Ivy tells Horatio in "Caveat" that she will reenter the club through the garage.
Horatio appears in the background of a New Year's picture taken in Lackadaisy in 1926, shown in "New Year". He started at Lackadaisy as a busboy and waiter, but after Atlas's murder became the doorman and bouncer as much of the former staff had left for greener pastures. When nobody is looking he can sing like an opera tenor.[1]
According to the Lackadaisy character page, Horatio was born on July 12, 1906, in St. Louis, Missouri, though Tracy previously stated that he is 24 years old at the start of the comic, suggesting a birth year of 1903.[1][9] Horatio is left-handed. According to Tracy, his voice would sound, "Shy, soft-spoken. He sounds exactly the opposite of what a doorman/bouncer should sound like, akin to the way Mike Tyson's voice perfectly mismatches his appearance and occupation".[8]
A human Horatio appears in "Counterpart".
Ivy's friends
Ivy's friends, Nell and Maggie[10], are seen in "Academia". Ivy discusses her summer plans briefly with them before she is distracted by the arrival of Chad.
A bootlegger who captains a sternwheel diesel tow boat on the Mississippi River.[11] Kehoe first appears in "Rumrunner" when Rocky makes arrangements with him to procure liquor at English Cave. He has the distinction of being the second character to be given dialog. In "Formaldehyde", Mitzi does not appear overly disappointed when she believes Rocky has not procured alcohol from Kehoe, suspecting that it, "has an unusually high content of embalming fluid anyway."
Kehoe next appears in "Bunny-box", delivering alcohol to Rocky and Viktor. He does not speak in this episode. Based on Mitzi's reactions in "Overture", Kehoe's liquor is sub-par. Mitzi later mentions him in "Interloper", noting that if Lackadaisy is to ever reclaim its former glory it will need access to better liquor than Kehoe can provide.
Kehoe is known as the Crusty Bugger among the crew of his boat, which is named the Crust Bucket.[1]
Tracy has noted of Kehoe's voice that, "When he opens his mouth, gravelly contempt falls out".[8]
Kehoe is depicted in color on the new character page.
Lacy Hardt[12] is Wick's secretary. She is first seen in "Overtime", in which she delivers Mitzi's invitation for Wick to come to Lackadaisy the following evening. Lacy next appears in "Grindstone", working with Wick at his house and threatening to stop bringing Wick coffee if she catches him pouring liquor into it. She observes Mitzi's arrival and Wick asks her to stall Mitzi. Lacy next appears in "Mephistopheles", in which she approaches Wick for a ride home because Bix is not around. While Wick is discussing business with Lacy in "Sneakthief", Mitzi steals a blank check for Sable Stone and Quarry from Lacy's purse, where Lacy was keeping the checkbook to ensure it would return to the office. Mitzi proceeds to have a conversation with Lacy where she talks about the dark fates that often befall snitches. After Wick drops Mitzi off in "Chauffeur", Lacy asks Wick whether they can stop for coffee, only because she wants to discuss his relationship with Mitzi. After Wick tells her that they have "called off the parade", Lacy expresses relief; she found Mitzi odd, and additionally noted that Mitzi had gone through her purse and took Mitzi's conversation with her as a threat.
Lacy appears having breakfast with Wick in "Conversations", in which it is revealed that Tracy eavesdrops upon her characters' conversations. Lacy notes that Wick has poured whiskey into his scrambled eggs.
Lacy was born on September 6, 1904 in Peoria, Illinois, making her 23 years old at the time of the comic[1], though Tracy initially stated that Lacy is 26 years old.[9] She enjoys drinking Earl Grey tea and is a talented tennis player.[10][1] Lacy tried playing tennis while bored during a lawn party, and later played casually at public courts before joining a competitive amateur circuit. She also attended secretarial school and learned how to type, though she did not find it very challenging.[13] With regards to Lacy's voice, Tracy has noted that, "Counter to Mitzi's mien, she sounds like the quintessential ordinary urban girl – uncultured but with the ring of practical smarts".[8] Lacy is a non-smoker.[14] Lacy has above-average intelligence.[2]
Lacy is depicted in color in "Preview 0026". A human Lacy appears in "Counterpart" and "Lacy".
Leo Quackenbush
Doctor Leo Quackenbush is, according to Ivy in "Quacksalver", a "horse doctor parading as a-". He enters the story when Ivy calls him in, "Quacksalver", wanting him to look at the injured Viktor. Ivy states or reminds Quackenbush that she is Atlas's goddaughter, and that he owes Lackadaisy a favor, though he apparently responds that it is Lackadaisy that owes him a favor. He agrees to look at Viktor when Ivy tells him that she will pay cash. Quackenbush is first seen in "Lassitude", having already removed the bullet from Viktor's chest when Mitzi and Zib arrive. He notes that he's given Viktor chloral hydrate as a painkiller, in part because in the recent past Viktor almost removed Quackenbush's arms. He also notes that Viktor may contract pneumonia and tells Mitzi that Wick paid for his medical services.
Quackenbush lives in St. Louis County.[15]
Doctor Quackenbush's name is "a rather shameless reference" to Dr. Hackenbush, a character portrayed by Groucho Marx in A Day at the Races. Tracy also has an acquaintance who works in feline welfare named Quackenbush.[16]
Reuben Pepper
Reuben "Ruby" Pepper[10] is Ivy's father. He is mentioned in "Academia" and seen sitting opposite Atlas in a photo in "Rendezvous". He is alive at this point in the comic, and wishes for Ivy to return home for the summer, though she is deliberately failing a class in order to remain in St. Louis while taking a make-up class.
In "Tannenbaum", Ivy gives Viktor a green-and-yellow hat and matching yellow scarf, though only because she does not want her father to know that she spent money.
Tracy has stated that Ruby was Atlas's friend when they were in school, and became an ally in liquor trafficking. Their relationship was close enough for Ruby to consider Atlas a sort of elder brother, and make him Ivy's godfather. Ivy knew Atlas, but not especially well.[10] In "Medicament", Ivy recalls going to St. Louis with Ruby as a child, and being treated like royalty when they visited Lackadaisy. Bobby theorizes in "Gravediggers" that Ruby helped Atlas to arrange for trains reaching Defiance to be loaded with liquor, and that the money Ruby made through this arrangement may be paying for Ivy's education.
Ruby and his wife currently live in Kansas City, Missouri.[16] Besides Ivy, they have a much younger daughter and son as well. The younger children are part of the reason that Ruby is no longer involved with Lackadaisy, as well as why Ivy has as much free rein as she does.[2]
Sammy Scruggs
Sammy Scruggs is buried by Rocky and Freckle among Nina's rhodedendrons in "Slipshod". According to Rocky he snitched out Rocky and Freckle hoping to make money.
Sniffles was shot in a car by Mordecai very shortly before the events of "Sordid Sniffles". According to Viktor he was a good driver who suffered from a sinus problem. Mordecai retorts that Sniffles's sinus problems were displeasing and he smelled a little bit like mayonnaise.
The Poor Schmuck
While driving together with The Poor Schmuck bound and gagged in the backseat of the car in "Quick-fix", Viktor and Mordecai get into an argument regarding the vehicle's symmetry, to the point that Viktor forgets he should be focusing on driving. The problem is resolved by removing The Schmuck from the equation.
Virgil first appears in "Backalley", in which he attempts to mug Zib and Mitzi using a can opener. Zib appears to be acquainted with Virgil, telling him that he would give him money if he had any to spare. Virgil returns to Zib and Mitzi in "Mata Hari", drawn to the spilled pearls from Mitzi's broken necklace. When Mitzi tries to stop Virgil from taking the pearls a confrontation ensues. Though Zib tries to break them up, Mitzi ultimately claws Virgil's left eye, then kicks him in the chin in "Knee-jerk". After Zib has accepted Mitzi's money and she has departed, Virgil asks Zib for a dollar in "Blood-money". In "Scapegoat", after Virgil says that he is thirsty, Zib offers him liquor from a flask; because of Virgil's injuries Zib pours the flask into Virgil's mouth. They are interrupted by the arrival of two police officers. Zib begins trying to explain what is going on, but then pours more of the liquor onto Virgil's face before chugging the remainder of it. After he suggests to the officers that he has solved their problem by consuming the liquor and tossing the flask aside, he proceeds to insult one of the cops.
Virgil and Zib are next seen in a holding cell in "Misdemeanor". Zib assures Virgil that he should be able to post bail for them with the cash he received from Mitzi, only to learn that the cops have stolen the money. Dom Drago overhears the conversation and tells Zib that he probably could not find a judge to arraign them until after the holiday weekend in any case. He also assures Zib that his money will be returned as long as it is on the level.
Virgil appears to be somewhat slow-witted, in addition to being down on his luck and potentially homeless. He has some missing teeth, and the edge of his right ear is frayed. Zib describes Virgil to Mitzi as, "a desperate panhandler".[17]
Virgil is depicted in color on the new character page.

The rolling hills of Augusta are filled with excitement. Thousands are here to witness the first mistake ever committed by the green jacketed bureaucrats of Augusta. It wasn't moving the tees back, or planting new trees, or growing rough where there was none before. All these were indeed errors that have made Augusta almost unrecognizable to the legends of yesteryear but a far more grievous error was made. One that will cause at least one green coat to need a good cleaning to remove the blood that spills when heads must roll. Somewhere there is a member hiding among the magnolias and azaleas. He is as good as gone. He'll be forced to surrender his green jacket and be banished to a lesser club, maybe Winged Foot or forced to slum it at Shinnecock. He has committed an unforgivable act, an act so vile and evil that it may have changed Augusta forever. There is one committee member that will be marked forever. He will be known as the man that paired Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson together for a practice round. No one knows how it happened but it did.
Here on the first tee, seconds before sunrise, stand Tiger and Phil staring at each other. Tiger is shooting daggers at Phil with that Sunday afternoon stare of his, and it's only Wednesday. Phil stands on the tee fumbling through his bag, counting his six drivers. Both are wondering what the hell is happening and whose neck are they going to wring. Phil thinks," Do I back off and let Tiger take the tee and wait until later?" Woods wonders," Is this guy for real? He thinks he is going to play with me, my ass he is."
Time has come for a tee ball to be hit and neither has made a move to back off the teeing ground. Tiger looks at Phil and Phil at Tiger. Bones is ready to pull an iron to defend his man from Stevie who looks ready to break a camera or a jaw or something.
Just then a voice calls out from behind the tee, sounding like the Golfing Gods themselves. "Well, good morning lads, so good to be out here on the greenest ground on God's good earth. Ready to play, mind if I join you boys?" It is Gary Player. He is looking for a game and Woods and Mickelson are dumbfounded. Before either of them can say a word Player says," Age before beauty then, here we go." He tees his ball and whips one down the left side of "Tea Olive" and waits for the boys to follow him.
Knowing they are both in the game now they nod to each other and Phil can't help but smile. Woods tees it up and lets it fly. Phil picks his latest driver and fades it onto the fairway.
As they walk down the fairway the lads say nothing. They don't have to; Player is giving them the Gospel according to Gary. "I love it out here so early. This place is as close to heaven as a man can get," he preaches. Woods and Phil wonder how did this happen. How did the two of them wind up here together? They have played together before, but only when the standings or the draw or Hal Sutton dictated it. They never played with each other by choice. This was going to be something.
They approached their shots and Player calls out," What are the stakes today boys? Ten a hole do it for you?" Still in shock, the boys nod and Stevie and Bones try to muffle their giggles.
Their balls are on the green now, they walk around to check their lines. The chill isn't only in the air. Player birdies and the boys, still tense and out of rhythm both three putt. Player smiles and waves his putter like a sword, a'la Chi Chi Rodriquez. "Not bad for an old boy," he says. "I miss playing with Chi Chi, he is a character."
Stevie and Bones sense that they are in the middle of something, something strange, something special. As the three of them play on, the sun filters through the trees and the morning mist giving the land a dreamlike feeling. The caddies feel it but the players do not.
Stevie walks along side Phil and gives him a nudge," You know I never did mean to call you a prick mate. I had a few too many Foster's and the press was killing me. I don't even remember what the heck I really said." Phil smiles, he always smiles. "Not a problem Steve. If I had a buck for each time I called you and your boss a prick I'd have a few more million in the bank." "We good?" Steve asks. "No worries mate, we're cool," Phil replies.
After a few more holes Player is getting the better of the world's best pair of golfers. The two youngsters can't seem to get over the fact that they are stuck with each other.
By now word had spread through Augusta and the threesome has quite a gallery following them. Tiger and Phil are even in score and dirty looks.
Player is unrelenting in his stories and anecdotes. He can't help but carry on about this course, this game, this life. "I love this course so much," he says. "I have so many wonderful memories of Augusta. The best thing about this place is when you come back in the spring you know you are going to see all your old friends that you miss all year."
Phil plays out of a bunker on nine and Woods chips to a few feet. Phil steps on Tigers line and Woods does all he can to hold his temper. He then drops his putter to the ground as Phil putts. Both putts would be gimmies normally, but not here. They are both playing the gamesmanship card. Neither will give an inch, it is not in their nature. They are here to win even if it is a practice round. They are arch enemies forced to behave by the powers of the game.
Player watches the two of them and springs into another sermon. "You know this is my 52nd Masters boys. May be my last, you never know. I remember all the times I've walked this course with my rivals. Arnold and I would try to get into each others pockets all the time. But when the Masters started we played to the death, but still remained friends always."
The three played on and Woods picked up a stroke on Phil on nine only to give it back when Phil jarred one with a flop on ten. The crowd now surrounds each green and cheers for them as they approach. Player, ever the showman, played to the fans at each hole. "Have you ever seen such a talented pair of golfers as these two?" he would ask. The fans would cheer and Player would laugh. Phil would blush and there was even a bit of a smile on Tiger's face.
By now Bones and Stevie were swapping secrets about the twelfth green and where to miss it on sixteen. They are two guys sharing stories about their bosses and their job.
They tee off all even on eleven and Player goes on. "Oh boys, all the time I've come down this fairway with the likes of Jack, Arnie, Raymond and Tom. This place has been a treasure to me. The course, the club, the fans, the friends… the friends I've made are worth everything. They're the reason I still play. They're the reason I come back."
Woods and Mickelson have started to find their games. Tiger chips in from Larry Mize area to go one up on Phil. Tiger couldn't hide the smile on that one and Phil told him he felt like Norman. On the twelfth tee Player tells the two how unique this place is. "Amen Corner is a special place," he says. "More golfers have felt the touch of the Gods here then anywhere else in golf. I know I have felt it." Player and Tiger hit onto the green and Phil tees it up. Mickelson launches his ball towards the green and feels a bit of a warm breeze on his face. His ball hits the green and rolls to the cup. It rolls closer and closer and looks like a sure ace. It stops a roll short of the hole and sits on the edge of the cup. "A special place indeed!" cheers Player. "Great shot," says Tiger.
The three of them drive onto the thirteenth and Player can't help himself. "Isn't this great lads?" By now the sun is bright and the colors of Augusta are as vivid as can be. These colors Player has seen and shared with his friends for over fifty years. "You know Jack and I have had so much fun here. We became good friends early in our careers. Jack and Arnold and I travelled together very often. We acted like a bunch of school boys all the time. Kidding and joking and laughing at each other." Woods and Mickelson are now side by side walking close to Player, not wanting to miss a word. They smile and nod to each other as if to say," This guy knows what it is all about."
"You both know Nicklaus was a great winner but I also called him the greatest loser of all time. Not because of all the second place finishes he had in the majors. It was really because of the way he handled himself in defeat. No matter how difficult the loss, Jack was always the most gracious sportsman a man could be."
The quality of the golf is amazing. The players are all even as they walk down the fourteenth. A brief moment of silence from Player has the other members of the group waiting anxiously for his next tale. He starts again. "Nicklaus and I spent so much time trying to beat each other; we could not help but respect each other. It was always fun to try and beat the best but it was even more rewarding walking off the last hole knowing that as hard as we'd try to beat each other, our friendship was always strong. Our families were very close. We would stay at each other homes and vacation together. Oh my…Has this game been good to me."
Woods glances over to Phil and the two shake their heads and smile. The crowd is now as large as a Sunday at the Masters. The fans surround the entire hole as they hit on the sixteenth. Woods sticks it to five feet, Mickelson to three and Player rims the cup as they all take birdie. "What a game we have today boys!" Player shouts.
Standing on the tee at seventeen, the caddies and players are laughing, the crowd is cheering as Player has dropped to the ground to pump out ten quick push ups. Woods and Phil can't resist and soon join him along with Bones and Steve. "I still hit the gym five times a week to stay in shape. I have to be able to walk this course every year," he shouts. Tiger and Phil exchange high fives and the crowd can't stop cheering for this crazy display.
The three are all even after seventeen. Player must have made a deal with the devil or the gods to keep up with these two. All three are in the eighteenth fairway and as they approach their balls something catches Phil's eye. It is something that a man knows, a husband knows. It is the figure of his wife standing in the gallery on the eighteenth. She waves and he returns it with a smile and notices she isn't alone. Standing next to her is Tiger's wife. About this time Tiger's radar has alerted him that his wife his there and he and Phil just laugh. "They must really love this place too," he says to Phil.
All their approaches hit the green on eighteen and as they approach the crowd applauds and cheers as if it was the leader on the final afternoon. The wives move up to the green together, the caddies are shaking their heads in disbelief as they walk up together. Player has grabbed Woods and Mickelson and has his arms around their waists as he guides them up the hill together, arm in arm, champions past and champions present. Player putts first from fifteen feet and leaves in on the edge of the cup, a round of par for a grand old man. Woods has a twelve foot birdie putt from above the hole. Phil has a putt of the same length from the left. Player stands on the fringe with their wives accepting hugs and kisses. Woods looks over to them then to Phil. Phil takes a look at his wife, his putt then Woods. Tiger walks toward Phil and says, "Good, good?" Without hesitation Phil says,"Good, good, you bet."
The crowd cheers knowing they have seen something extra special. The players exchange handshakes and congratulate each other on a special day at a special place.
Woods and Mickelson walk with their wives towards the clubhouse and a fan yells," Hey guys, how was it out there?" Tiger says," It was fun." Phil says," It's fun playing with your friends."
Player has made his way to the grill room where dozens of green jackets are toasting the day's activities. The room erupts with cheers as he walks in. The members realize that what may have started as a possible disaster for the club has turned in to another historic day at Augusta. Player walks over to a member standing alone who looks more relived then excited. He was the member responsible for arranging the practice round pairings.
He asks," How did it go out there Gary?" Player shakes his hand and pulls him in for a hug and whispers," Just like we planned it my friend, just like we planned it."
There's nothing wrong with a little fiction every now and then.

Best Valentine's Dinner in Del Mar
This year for Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I enjoyed KITCHEN 1540's Yours & Mine dinner for two! The atmosphere was fun and cozy with romantic lighting, yellow suede chairs and red accent décor. When we arrived we were greeted by hostess Stephanie who walked us to our table. After we were seated our waiter Clyde welcomed us as well and inquired about our beverage preferences before he recommended drinks for us. Overall, the service was excellent. Every time a dish was brought out, different elements of the dish were described to us. It made you that much more excited to taste it!
As far as the food goes - it was definitely one of the most memorable Valentine's meals I've ever eaten. The pre fixe menu offered a "Yours" option and a "Mine" option for the first four courses, which were followed by a dessert to share; I choose the Yours, so my boyfriend went with the Mine…
A single long stem rose was placed at my seat :)
Bread basket with a variety of French, olive, and onion bread.
1st COURSE
YOURS: Diver Scallop with crispy rice, toasted nori, ponzu, shiso
MINE: Day Boat Scallop Crudo with miso noodles, hiramasa consommé
2nd COURSE
YOURS: Asparagus Velouté with 62˚ egg, black truffle, porcini chicharrón
MINE: Cipollini Velouté with black truffle, onion gelée, puffed gruyere
3rd COURSE
YOURS: Artic Char with char roe, foraged mushrooms, bone marrow, pea vines
MINE: Berkshire Pork Cheeks with root beer molasses, pickled mustard seeds
4th COURSE
Yours: Kobe Beef Cheeks with celery root purée, cipollini onion, beet greens
MINE: Wild Striped Bass with house chorizo, scallion nage, baby octopus
Ours: Callebaut Chocolate with champagne marshmallows, duck fat doughnut holes, éclairs, local strawberries
Everything was sooo delicious with incredible flavors and different from anything we'd ever had before! It was an exciting dinner and right up our alley; we're definitely coming back. Seriously, if you're not a foodie, a visit to KITCHEN 1540 just might turn you into one!

This program is one of our Food Lover's Team Building Programs An exercise that brings out the best in your teams, engaging their energy and creativity through the vehicle of positive humor.

That's why organizations that use humor well tend to attract and retain the best-qualified people and inspire them to excel.
The response from our managers was enthusiastic and unanimous. The program addressed all the goals we discussed during the planning phase, and the exercises were pertinent, instructional, and entirely entertaining.

The Premise (Or One Customized To Your Business Model)You are a group of doctors who are partners in a successful practice in Beverly Hills. A grateful patient has included a surprising gift for the practice in his last will and testament. This patient, a famous comedian, had long ago invested in vineyard land in the Napa Valley. Now his prime piece of wine country real estate is about to be inherited by the practice as a group.
However, the comedian included an unusual condition in his will. The doctors may only retain ownership if they create a new wine and market the wine in a humorous fashion. The name of the wine, its label design, an entire marketing campaign must be created and be FUNNY or ownership of the vineyard will revert back to the comedian's estate. The partnership's reputation is at stake here – and your retirement fund! Can your teams save the day?
Minimum/Maximum Group Size: 10 – 200
Program Length: 2 hours approximately
