More on Zach--better late than later

I get an email newsletter from TravelGolf.com; most of the time I just skim it and delete it.  I was drawn to Chris Baldwin's column on Zach's Masters win:  Johnson Sanctifies Masters (I'm the Iowa brother; uprooted from New York 13 years ago and moved to Des Moines, home to one of the oldest clubs west of the Mississippi, The Wakonda Club.)  Here's my comment:

Baldwin you need to get out more.  As a transplanted Jersey boy living in Iowa (and no I am not in the witness protection program) I can attest to the rich life out here, spiritually and golfly (?!).  There are 80 golf courses within 50 miles of Des Moines, the capital.  Zach is well known around here; he has been accessible to the media and supportive of small businesses.  That he thanked God in an unscripted moment just reinforces his "Everyman" demeanor and appeal.  Now I don't believe Jesus was on his bag, but if he does and that helped him to a final round 69, more power to him.  If he had thanked Bob Rotella or Jim Flick you wouldn't be bashing him.  And by the way, the personal attacks on his dad and Iowans in general are starting to sound a little Imus-like, but I reckon you do not generate the kind of money that old codger does. [This was written right before the I-man was canned.]  Come on out to Iowa; bring your sticks and your wallet; then write about us.
