• First set of clubs: A Tommy Bolt persimmon 3-wood was my first club, followed by Wilson Patty Berg hand-me downs from mom, and then my trusty Titleist DTR’s that I used for 19 years.
• Favorite golf course: Metropolis Country Club, White Plains, N.Y., where I learned the game. Its 10th hole is my favorite hole in golf. Ever.
• Best golf shot seen live: My dad’s hole-in-one in a tournament, which won him a BMW Z4
• Favorite book: Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged (but don’t read too much into my political bent)
