Saw this on Bruce Berlet's blog today...Pretty good read...even if Jimmy's bleeding liberal side comes out in full force ;)

Here's a question-and-answer session with PGA Tour media official Phil Stambaugh that is on pgatour.com:

PGATOUR.COM: How did you get started in golf?

Calhoun: I think I started when I was in my mid-30s when my knee started to give out and I couldn't run marathons, I decided I wanted to do something that was competitive and quickly found out that golf was all the competition I ever needed. Similar to running, you can't blame anyone but yourself.

PGATOUR.COM: What's your handicap right now?

Calhoun: It's about a 9.3.

PGATOUR.COM: Do you have a favorite golfing moment?

Calhoun: In 1999, the same year we won the national championship, I made a double-eagle on the 18th hole on the Old Course at Ballybunion in Ireland. The ball hit the stick square and fell in.

PGATOUR.COM: Can you think of a dream foursome?

Calhoun: I think everybody would like to play with Tiger. I actually had a chance to walk with him at Royal Lytham & St. Annes along with Davis Love III and Brad Faxon, who's a good friend of mine. I'd probably like to play with Bill Clinton and watch Bill Clinton and Tiger together. I'm a big Clinton guy. Just for fun, we'd have John Daly join us to bomb away.

PGATOUR.COM: How often do you get to play?

Calhoun: It's seasonal. I play quite a bit during the summer, probably about 50 or 60 rounds. When I do play, I have a place at Colleton River Plantation near Hilton Head Island, S.C. I'm also a member at Pleasant Valley in Massachusetts and I'm an out-of-town member at Winged Foot in New York.

PGATOUR.COM: What's your best score ever and where did you shoot it?

Calhoun: One time, I shot 71 at the TPC River Highlands where they have the (Travelers Championship).

PGATOUR.COM: Whose swing would you like to have?

Calhoun: I've always liked David Toms' swing. I'll take that one.

PGATOUR.COM: What course would you like to play that you haven't?

Calhoun: I've had several invitations, but haven't played yet at Pine Valley.
