LEE TREVINO

Lee Trevino was one of my favorite golfers, why? Because he had character. In fact I met him one time when he played in a tournament in Kaanapali, Maui. He had his caddy with him, and I walked to them and said, "How's Mr. Trevino." He looked at me and said, "Call me Lee." So I called him Lee. 

So he was asking me all kinds of questions, he was a laid back guy, in fact he had a little bottle in the golf cart. Let's just say, it wasn't organic cleanse. His caddy was the wide body Herman Mitchell, he was huge like a lineman in the NFL. So they're asking me where to eat, like I'm their good friend or something. They're laughing and joking around, a few cuss words thrown in. I was like, "These two mother fuckers are pretty funny."

So I'm telling them where to go and eat, but Herman looks at Lee and says, "How about some fried chicken?" And Lee looks at him and goes, "Shit yeah, fried chicken, that sounds good fried chicken." And for like two minutes the both of them were talking about where on the tour they got good fried chicken. After their banter, Herman looks at me and goes, "So where can we get good fried chicken?" And Lee chimes in right after that, "Yeah were can we get good fried chicken, not this resort shit?" So I told them to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken in Lahaina. Herman looks at me and goes, "You got a Kentucky Fried Chicken here?" And then Lee says,"Yeah you guys got a Kentucky Fried Chicken around here?" And I'm like, "yeah three miles in Lahaina, across from the post office."

"Hmm, sounds good," said Herman.

"Yeah, that really sounds good," said Lee.

"Okay after we get done, let's drive to Lahaina, to get some Kentucky Fried Chicken."

"Okay, let's do that. Hey Ron thanks for the tip."

I'm thinking, Lee Trevino is a fucking millionaire golfer, and he's going to buy Kentucky Fried Chicken? I mean they were seriously happy that a Kentucky Fried Chicken existed on Maui. They seemed like they couldn't wait for the round to start and end so they could stuff their faces with original and extra crispy fried chicken.
