My buddy Chi Chi Rodriguez was robbed at gunpoint

Man this story sucks. My newest famous golf pal, who I met in Puerto Rico a couple of months ago, was robbed. Chi Chi Rodriguez (pictured with me on the right) had four armed gunmen enter his home at 1:30am last night. They tied him up and spent 45 minutes ripping him off. They even took the wedding ring off of his wife’s finger. Chi Chi’s wife was a very nice lady who I talked to for quite a while. I feel for them.

Fortunately, for whatever it means, the robbers were “gentle” and “respectful.” Not sure how you can respectfully rob someone but at least they’re OK and weren’t hurt.

Probably the worst thing that has happened to him since he drew me as his caddy in N Palm Beach. Back in the 60s. Glad to hear that they had no physical harm.

Holy Moses! I didn’t know there was a GUN involved in all of this. (My fault for only reading headlines).

Great pic of you and Chi Chi. Meeting him and his wife must’ve been great.
