Hi Woody... we briefly met in Montreal CANADA during the President's Cup. I was a Marshall there and am the one who retrieved your infamous golf ball from the edge of the pond at Number 14 where you did your famous swim and garnered the nickname "Aquaman". You autographed it for me later that day. Wondering if you would like to discuss the future of this memorobilia.

Hey Woody,

I am a highschool student at a small town in Indiana that loves to play and watch golf. A passion of mine is collecting autographs of professional golfers. I was wondering if you could possibly send me an autograph. Thanks a lot!
