[Yoda]

Yoda,

Steve and I kept different schedules after work, so I infrequently saw him out. During the day, we had regular communication. Often, it was just a chat with other caddies during the lunch break. I considered him a friend. He was always good to me.

We played golf together a few times. Notably, at the TPC of Louisiana on Wednesday, with our pros, the year before they moved it from English Turn. Early scouting for the next year was the excuse. Steve loved to play. Played with great passion. And lots of people knew if he missed a shot. But then he was right back in the moment--competing.

On the course, I had great respect for him. How he handled his player. He had a certain edge about him while standing over the shot---then he was telling a story to loosen up his player. He was never afraid to say what he thought. I would have been out with him on the course a number of times, but as the years pass, the memories have just turned to glimpses.

Steve burned short but he burned bright.

Thanks, Henny.
