Hall of Fame Congrats

I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to Curtis Strange and Hubert Green for their upcoming induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Here's a blip from Gary Smits on the careers of the two famed golfers:

"Strange won 17 PGA Tour events between 1979-1989, and Green won 19 times between 1971-1985. Both won two major championships. Oddly enough, their second major was the last time they won on the PGA Tour: Green at the 1985 PGA at Cherry Creek in Denver and Strange at the 1989 U.S. Open at the Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y."

Se Ri Pak is also in line to be inducted into the Hall of Fame...as soon as she makes her 10th start this season. No player was inducted on the international ballot. The only real snub, in my opinion, is Laura Davies. She proved down the road from the Hall of Fame at the Ginn Open in Orlando that she still has a great game and that her career is not quite done yet. She will get into the Hall of Fame eventually - but it may take falling off of the ballot like it did for Hubby Green.
