when one of the nurses com-
mented that her brother was a
golf professional.
"When I asked his name the
nurse commented that I'd prob-
ably never heard of him; his
name was Johnny Miller," recalls
Auster. "Well, Miller had just
won the 1973 Open and was win-
ning everything in sight so every-
one knew who he was.
"Last year I volunteered for the
U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. Part
of my job was to make sure the
players had rides to wherever
they needed to go. One afternoon,
Johnny Miller was my assigned
golfer and I was supposed to take
him to his limousine. I told him
this 23-year-old story about his
sister and he replied that his sis-
ter only thought you were a golf
professional if your last name
was Nicklaus. He was very nice
and invited me to chat with him.
I was still on volunteer duty and
had to decline, but I'll always
think of him as a gentleman and
a guy with a sense of humor."
Gary Krochmal of Farming-
ton Hills always makes sure he
has time to play golf with his
three children — sons Danny
and Rob, and daughter Tracy.
`The boys loved the game from
the first day so there were always
opportunities to play with them,"
recalls Krochmal. "Tracy wasn't
quite so enamored with it. One
day about six years ago I was
playing a few holes with Tracy.
She took a divot on a fairway shot
and when I told her to pick up her
clubs and move to her next shot
she told me 'No dad, I have to re-
place my kibbutz.' I never said
a word and kept a straight face
and we kept on playing. She re-
ally thought kibbutz was the
right word to use instead of div-
ot, and I didn't want to spoil her
good time by correcting her."
Babs Kaufman of West
Bloomfield has been a club
champ more than a dozen times
at four golf clubs. When she and
husband Herbert were mem-
bers of Tam-O-Shanter, Kauf-
man went through a five-year
period of shanking.
"I worked with Warren Orlick,
the head golf professional back
then, and no matter what he did
I would still shank," recalls Kauf-
man. "Somehow I made it to the
finals of the Ladies Club Cham-
pionship. I didn't use any irons

for the entire round and we were
even after 18 holes. We went to
sudden death on the first hole
and I used a driver and then a 5-
wood on the fairway. My oppo-
nent was just off the green but I
had some distance to go so I used
a 7-wood and the shot landed a
foot from the flag. My opponent
was visibly shaken and sharked
her approach shot to the green.
I won the match without using
any irons. It's funny now but it
wasn't funny back then. I final-
ly stopped shanking when I
bought a new set of irons."

"She really thought

kibbutz was the right

word to use instead

of divot."

J.J. Modell of Franklin was
an outstanding player as a ju-
nior. He played on his college
team (Brown University), won
the Northern Michigan Amateur
a few years ago and toyed with
the Florida pro tour in 1995.
"Although I became a better
player after experiencing all that
competition in 1995, I realized
how difficult it is to be a playing
golf pro," reflects Modell. "Even
with all the playing that year, -\
the time that is etched most in
my memory took place in 1994.
I was at Brown University play-
ing for the Northeastern Cham-
pionship. It was the par-five
18th hole and my second shot
went into the water hazard. It
was a weeded area and the ball
was up on a slope. I gripped an
iron half way down the shaft and
swung at the ball using a base-
ball swing. Much to my amaze-
ment the ball flew out of the
hazard, rolled on the fairway
and on to this two-tiered green
where the flag was close to the
front edge. I ended up with a
birdie and made it to the All
Northeast First Team by one
shot."
