My son and I were at our first PGA event in Hilton Head, at the Heritage.  On the final day of the outing, my 11 year old son was at the 18 hole awaiting to meet some of the golfers. As Mr. Cink finished up and walked thru the autograph line, he did something that went beyond the call of any professional.  He gave my son his hat that he wore throughout the day as he finished up signing EVERY piece that was put in front of him.  PRICELESS and now he has a #1 fan.  My son wouldn't even take off the hat.  Hopefully, Mr. Cink's DNA went into my son.  What a GREAT guy and role model.  Thanks Mr. Cink.  As soon as we got home, my son wanted to go out and golf and has asked me everyday since to take him out.  So, for anyone to say anything negative about this guy, you are just wrong.  we need more sports professionals like him and this world would be a better place.
