Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter is on site at the CrownePlaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

 

With the legend of Ben Hogan always present, the Colonial Country Club is a cool place.

 

Though not this week in May with temperatures soaring into the mid 90s with little or no wind the last two days.

All in good fun of course, with nominal wagers, Texas style.

 

A few years back during my amateur spectator days, I remember winning a relatively big pot which included a couple of corporate hospitality tickets for the 18th green.

 

Air conditioning, live action on the 18th viewed from above, television commentary, replays, and cool margaritas made for a memorable time.

 

Yesterday, Josh Teater's caddie Charles Gibson raced Martin Flores's caddie Dan Gadberry in a full sprint for the final 50 yards down this slope before stopping abruptly at the green.

 

Like horses that unexpectedly come upon the edge of the Grand Canyon in a full gallop the caddies lowered their heads as they stayed off the green much to the amusement and groaning of the spectators in the grandstands.
