Freddy Couples In The Mix At The Masters
One of my favorite players, a little trivia:
- Couples enjoys a reputation for being one of the most laid-back, easygoing players on the PGA Tour. His best friend on Tour, Davis Love III, confirms this: “Everybody thinks Fred’s relaxed on the golf course, but he’s more tense on the golf course than anywhere. He’s a relaxed guy.”
- Couples is an avid gardener. Couples learned gardening from his grandfather, who was a groundskeeper at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
- Inducted into the National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.
- Couples is one of few professional golfers who does not use a glove at any time.
- Couples is a good friend of Michael Jordan and a season ticket holder for the Charlotte Bobcats, where Jordan is the majority owner.

Boom Boom and I both went to the U. of Houston. That’s about all I have in common with him.
I wish I had learned to play as well as he does while I was there.
Heck, half as well…
Yeah, I think him and Jim Nance roomed together. If I remember right your 8 years his elder? Most fluid effortless swing in golf.
I’m 60, so 8 years sounds about right.
He makes it look so easy – fluid and effortless is right.
