RIP Tommy

Here in LA, we have a local 9 hole golf course that all the homies play at. Its up in the hills by the Griffith Park Observatory about 10 minutes from Hollywood. Not only is it a golf course for us, but its also a hang out for many others. At any time you can roll up to see the locals playing poker, playing skins, or shooting 100 ft puts for dollar bills. One of these staples was Tommy. He always said hello, and was one of those guys that would often remember the strangest things,  and constantly ask you about them whenever he saw you.  For instance, I once took a girl golfing there about 7 years ago, and still to this day asks me how my "little lady's" doin'. Not only that, but he used to go through all the bushes on the course and sell our $8 balls back to us for a fraction of the price (until the city made him stop). Tommy was "The Man" to say the least. Unfortunately last Thursday Tommy had a heart attack at his home in Los Feliz, the guys at the course say if it wasn't for the rain, he would have been at the course, and maybe had someone to help him back to life. Funny how things work out.

The good news is that he is upstairs playing poker, playing skins, or shooting 100ft puts with the best of em'...Walter Hagan, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson...... R.I.P. Tommy.
