Subject: It was always about the bets 207

I was up at 4:30 and JJ was sleeping soundly and I jumped into the
shower. It was a longish shower and hot as it was an ungodly time and I
was tired. Once I dried off, I went back into my room and JJ was sitting
up in bed. He looked at me and said, fuck this better be worth it and
went to the shower. I ran down to the basement and retrieved my Virginia
Tech / Oakmont shirt from the dryer and put on grey shorts and ankle
socks and walking shoes and the VT hat that I bought a lifetime ago when
Jim and I made the verbal commitment. I went to the kitchen and put
coffee on and grabbed the paper and was glad to see that Cole was way
ahead as low armature and he had the third from the last tee time, we had
plenty of time and I was already worried about the day. I laughed when JJ
appeared in a VT shirt and hat and said dude, this isn't a Kennywood
date. He laughed and said and it isn't a date.


We were at the airport 40 minutes before the suggested departure. I
looked at Jack and he said, would never miss this, I hear there is a
surprise. I shook my head and got on the plane and sat in a seat in the
back. I was joined immediately and he said MJ, last night was fucking
special and I hope there are more special times together but we are not a
coupe and I am not dating you sexy ass. I do ok a deep breath and said
thanks that perfect, well unless one of us can bear children. JJ
surprised and said well once there are 4 rug rats we can get a divorce
and fuck our brains out. Damn JJ, you are so romantic. He leaned forward
and he motioned me to get closer and he said well, I love you. I said
same here and we need to find a way to make this work. We landed at a
corporate airport and secured the jet and rented a large van as we would
have clubs and suitcases on the returned trip.


We found an IHOP for breakfast and drove to the resort. I was worried
about Megan and all the walking and nerves. I left a voicemail for Liam
and he returned the call immediately. I asked how things were and he
replied, I guess good the kid has no nerves, he slept well and we just
finished breakfast. The only strange thing is he is dressed in a running
suit. I just laughed and said well even you don't know? He said know
what? I said the surprise and it is funny and appropriate and will cause
too much attention. We will follow you guys around and I'll signal you
if I see anything and if you need help get him to me along the ropes. MJ,
that's perfect and thanks. Oh, there are passes for the 6 of you at will
call, in your name. I said thanks and we are staying out of the way, this
is your show.


We found the "Will Call"and sure enough there were 6 VIP Passes. I led
ever one to the veranda with a view of 18 and showed the VIP pass and
asked for a PGA official. When the guy appeared I introduced my self as
Mike Simmons and he looked at me and asked how can I help you? Well my
brother is playing and our mom is pregnant and I was wondering if we
could keep a seat open for her and my dad, should she need it. He said
well, we can do that for two but not your entire party. I said, that's
perfect. He looked at me again and said, well you must be Cole's family
but how do I know you? Sir, I am sure we have never met. He looked at me
again and said, I knew it, the Oakmont shirt you are their youngest
member and on the Open Committees. I'm pleased to meet you and I
understand we will be meeting at the club soon. I smiled and said I
guess. I introduced everyone and we were told that there would be a
section reserved all day for us. Then he said while they have a drink can
I have you for a minute. I saw JJ and Jack share a look and I said sure.
Inside I was introduced to more people than enough. The conversation was
casual and interesting. When I asked if they minded if I got back with
the family, I was asked so every one is wondering about your brothers
surprise. I said well, it will be fun, not over the top and I just hope
it doesn't detract from his game. He is a fun dude.


Outside I found the gang and sat down and Jack asked, so how did we go
from no room in the inn to a Box? I smiled and said well, I'm special.
Dad, real seriously said, details please? Ok, I'm on the committee at
Oakmont for the 2 US Opens and that PGA guy is also on the committee and
he recognized the name. So, enjoy. Jack asked, so what the surprise? I
said well I'm not sure but if I'm right it is cool and fun. Megan asked
Mike, with your connections is Cole here because of you? I looked right
at her politely said absolutely not. I did ask inside and I was told that
they invited the top 4 armatures and Cole is 4th. Trust me, that is
something I would never do. We chatted for a while and I saw this player
in sweats and it was 82 degrees. He was putting and chatting with players
and the fans. I wasn't going near any of that but I noticed as it got
closer to tee time he was all business. As they were being ushered to the
first tee, he took off is hat and threw in into the crowd. He took off
his jack, handed it to Liam and I saw a black and gold shirt. In a swift
move he pulled on the wasteland of the pants and they flew off and he was
standing there in gold +4's with black and gold striped socks. I noticed
the hat and it had a Steeler logo. The place went nuts and said, I need
to see the first hole. On the first tee he shook hands with his playing
partner and he stood there talking with Liam until his name was called.
He was handed the driver and did the pre-shot thing and laced on right
down the middle. The place went nuts and JJ and I followed along. He
birdied #1 for the 4th time. then it was fairways and greens. He one
putted twice for pars and birdied #9. He had 14 putts for the front and
was -2. I kept looking at Liam and he just kept giving thumbs up. Cole
continued to have fun with the gallery. At one point he came over to
where JJ and I and I was given a big hug as was JJ. I was thinking, damn
I hope that didn't make TV. That lasted 15 minutes when the cameraman
following the group asked if I knew Cole. I said I'm his brother Mike
and JJ is my musketeer and main man, we are just watching the golf. I was
again hoping that was the end of it but the network was ABC and I knew I
was fucked. They have wanted a business interview for months. I gave them
20 minutes to figure it out. I said to JJ let's move a few holes ahead
and hope we can get lost.


I was watching the scoreboard and there was no change as Cole remained -3
for the day. On  hole 16, I saw dad and Megan and stayed away from them.
On 18 tee Liam and Cole had a lengthy discussion. Cole reached for the
driver and Liam handed him a 3 wood and I thought don't blow it now a
par and you finish 5th and a birdie would be tie for 4. Cole handed the 3
wood back took his driver looked around and saw a young kid by the tee
and handed him the driver and head cover bowed to Liam and hit a perfect
shot. At the ball he looked at Liam and made a jester as to say ok, what
now. Liam laughed and handed him a 5 iron. Cole's shot hit the pin and
fell 2 feet away. The place went nuts and he marked his ball and asked
for quiet. Once the Pro he was playing with putted out, Cole replaced his
ball and tapped it in. I don't think there was ever that type of
reaction for a tap-in and a 4th place finish. His playing partner removed
his had and bowed towards Cole.


Then Cole picked up his bag, but an arm around Liam and they walked to
the scoring room. That little thing caused the most reaction and elevated
his status, if that was possible. JJ and I went to the VIP area and were
watching the finish on TV. Then there was Cole and Liam standing there.
The announcer said well we could ask you questions all day. Let's start
with you caring you bag off 18. Well Liam worked hard enough, I also
carried my bag from the car. We are a team. Ok, let's move to the 18th
tee. Yesterday I hit a shot that caught Liam off guard and hit driver and
was told 3 wood and 5 iron was the smart play. Today he was ready and
said if I tried to hit driver he would snap it over his knee. That would
have been a shame so I gave it away. Oh, Liam was right my way got a par.
They broke for golf and when they came back Cole was asked about the
outfit. He said well my brother says honor the past, deal with the
present and prepare for the future. I hope I did that today. So is you
brother Mike Simmons? Cole said yes and he is very, very important to me.
He put me in position to be here today. So Mike is only a little older
than you and is changing the city. Well you should ask him, all I do is
study and golf. Ok, why the interaction with the gallery? Well it relaxes
me, they pay to get in here and should have fun.


Liam, Cole insisted you were included in this interview, why was that.
Liam said well as he said we are a team. How do you manage the
interaction with the spectators? He laughed and said I don't, if you
look close the 90 seconds before he hit a shot he is totally focused.
There is nothing in his head but me and the shot. It's interesting
because we are both stubborn, I usually win. He has a wild streak in his
game but usually picks his spots.

Cole, you playing next week? Well I haven't thought about that but I
need to talk with my mom, Mike and Liam. Besides, I need to get ready for
the Amateur. Oh, the kid who got the driver if he could contact Oakmont,
I'll find a way to sign it or certify it's authenticity, who knows it
might be valuable some day. Cole said thanks for the time and he and Liam
left.


Cole was held back for the awards ceremony and Liam joined us. Thankfully
there was no Drama and the attention went to the winning Pro. Cole
appeared and he and Liam went to the locker room and collected suit cases
and clubs and JJ grabbed the clubs and I took the bags and Cole and Liam
walked behind chatting. We piled into the van and it was returned with no
issues. Liam and Cole jumped on the plane and grabbed the seats in the
back. That left JJ and me with Megan and dad in the 4 center seats. We
were about half way home when Liam came forward and asked Megan to visit
her son. Megan went back and and sat with Cole. I looked at Liam and
asked so how are things? Mike, they are fine, he is exhausted, happy,
worried and is wondering what's next. Mike, he has three sponsors
exemptions and this was so much fun, he is wondering if the Amateur is
worth the effort. Liam, your thoughts? Well Mike, what's the point, his
future is here, on the Tour, what does the Amateur get him besides
experience? Liam, have you said that to him? Mike, I have not and won't
as it's his decision. Mike his goal was to beat 4 people and today there
was no intent on going real low. I'm afraid he will decide he wants more
and get hot, with all the big guns off and wins one of these. Then he is
exempt and would need to turn Pro. Liam, is he that good? Mike he is more
than that good. Last week I wouldn't have said that, seeing him here,
with these guys, yes. He would win a putting contest hands down. Liam,
thanks and what's up with Megan. Mike he is 16, barely, and needs mom
time.


Cole remained with his mom and Liam fell asleep. It was a very quiet trip
home and everyone was thrilled when we landed. It was a long day and this
jet made it possible. Cole asked if he could ride with me and JJ said
that's cool, I need dad time. I found Liam and handed him a check and he
looked and I said hazard pay. He shoved it in his pocket and didn't look
at it and said thanks. Cole was in the car and I asked up or down and he
said up, I've enough fresh air. I looked at him and asked dude, you ok?
He said I have never been this exhausted in my life. I laughed and said
understood. We were quiet for a while and Cole was sitting there staring
and looking out the window. Then Cole asked MJ, now what? Cole, this
weekend opened a lot things, all of which need considered carefully. Just
get a good night's sleep and see how you feel after lunch. Talk with you
Pro, he must be thrilled and then call Fred and AP. Once you are relaxed
you and I can talk. Cole smiled and said thanks.


At home it was a race to see who was in bed first. I had been up since
4:30 and it was now 11:00. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.


The alarm woke me and there was no running as I was working out and doing
that shit show with Jim if he showed. It was a quick shower and business
casual attire and I packed workout clothes and drove to the office. At
the office I said hello to Ruth and she looked at me and asked, Coffee? I
said please and picked up my desk phone and called Jace. He answered
saying this better not be a fucking sales call. I said well good morning
to you. He laughed and asked, don't you ever sleep? I said I need a
favor, please check on Cole. He said that teenage golf sensation? I said
exactly as his teenage mind is scrambled eggs. Jace was quiet for a few
seconds and then said, I got this and he simply hung up. Well that was
the best I could do, for now. I was reading information on the new Board
Members and Tim appeared. He asked conference room or here? I said here
and please close the door.


Tim and I were in guest chairs and I was handed a folder with a lot of
papers and I started to scan the contents. Mike, that's simply for
information and we should just talk. There was a knock on the door and
Ruth appeared with coffee. I shook my head and said Ruth, we both have
two legs. Once we were alone Tim said let's talk about David Cummings.
Mike he is Managing Partner of one of the largest firms in DC. Mike, if
your law degree isn't from an Ivy League school you don't even think
about applying. Tim, that's nice to know but what is he like outside of
work? Mike, they live in a somewhat modest house in Arlington, Virginia.
The son Charley is in 3rd grade in a private school, not a boarding
school and David drives him every morning. David and Jenny are very
devoted to Charley and David attends every event and spends at least one
weekend day with the kid. Both are very active in the community and
regularly attend the Kennedy Center events. Tim any idea about David's
relationship with his dad? Mike, he visits twice a month and young
Charlie is always with him. Tim looked at his coffee mug and I said well
if you need more you know where the cafeteria is and I need a few minutes
to think. Tim left for more coffee, leaving the door open and I heard
Ruth laugh.


When Tim returned I asked so do we talk with the old man or the son?
Mike, the old man will only kick you to David. Ok, I get that. Is it
lawyer to lawyer or business guy to lawyer. Tim laughed and said, my two
bit firm wouldn't get a returned call. I laughed and said get your ass
in gear and grow that firm. With that I picked up the phone and dialed
the law firm. When it was answered I said, Mr. Cummings office please.
There was no reply but the phone started ringing and was quickly answered
Mr. Cummings's Office. I said good morning I am Mike Simmons from MJS
Technologies, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name? She replied Mrs.
Winter. I said well good morning Mrs. Winter, I know Mr. Cummings is very
busy, however I was hoping you would be kind enough to ask him to call
me, at his convenience. Mr. Simmons's may I inquire what this concerns?
I said well grapes, she said well certainly. I gave her a number and
said, thank you Mrs. Winter, have a great day and hung up. Tim looked at
me and I said, always be nice to the secretaries, that's why we get our
own coffee around here. Tim laughed and said well let me know.


I spent about an hour on the Board of Directors and their bios and
decided that I would go to the construction site and then to school to
see if Jim showed up. At the site I saw a 54 foot trailer that looked to
be in good shape but I went to site 2 and walked around and found it
going slower than I expected. To be fair the steel structure was moving
along. In talking with the crew, everyone felt that they were exactly on
schedule as deliveries were holding them up a bit. I was ok with that but
made a mental note to have Alex start to look into things on this
project. It was early and I didn't know if I should check on Cole or go
to school and workout. I decided on working out as I had all night with
Cole.


At school, I was working out when a bunch of the guys came in and I was
putting more weights on the machine and Paul, our guard came up to me and
said, we understand that the QB is working out today and we thought we
could make it a little more realistic and line up and see what happened.
I said Paul that outstanding and he laughed and said well the defensive
line will be here as well and we brought our own balls so nothing from
the school. Oh, the field is open to the community so we should be good
as no one could say it was practice. I laughed and said that works. I
went to find coach Weston and told him what was happening and he said
that's great but I'm going home. I said well no pads and no hitting. He
said have a great day but the weight room is closed. I said fine and we
all went down to the field. JJ, Ray and Sam appeared and we were all
chatting and catching up and it was fun. I was wondering if Jim would
show.


We decided to loosen up and we all started to run the track and after two
laps every one had had enough and I saw Jim walking down the steps. He
came right up to me and asked, what the fuck, I thought we were just
throwing some balls. I shrugged and said, well not my idea talk to Paul.
Sam gathered everyone together, got under center took the snap and threw
a screen pass to Ray. Jim looked at me and asked, so what does that
prove? The next play Sam was again under center took the snap looked left
and Pumped and threw a bullet and hit JJ on a down and out in perfect
stride and JJ took two steps and about of bounds and signaled first down.
There was another huddle and Sam in the shotgun took a high snap, pumped
a fake pass and lofted a high arch and hit JJ 40 yards down the field in
perfect stride. JJ stopped running and gave the TD signal. Jim looked at
me and said ok asshole my turn. I said run the same plays. As expected
the screen pass was easily completed. The second play was the down and
out to the side line a much tougher throw and Jim threw the ball behind
JJ and Wayne our corner back caught the ball, took three or four steps
and signaled TD. The third play was also under thrown and JJ tried to
come back for the ball but it fell incomplete. Jim, looked at me and
asked, how fast is that fucker? I said, well faster than the strength of
your D1 arm. Jim said fuck this and started to walk away. I gathered
everyone together and yelled, ONE FOR ALL and they responded ONE FOR ALL.
Then Paul yelled, Jim that includes you but damn you have work to do. We
all started to the parking lot and Jim was leaning against my car. When I
got there he said you fucking set me up. I shrugged and said nope that
would be your O-Line, now get off my car. Then I asked are you in or is
it the next Dude up? There was no reply so I drove home, hoping the
message was sent.
