World Golf Hall of Fame: Induction 2009: Blue is as Good as the Green
Induction 2009: Blue is as Good as the Green
Jose Maria Olazabal poses with his Inductee Crystal and his blue Hall of Fame blazer.
Just about an hour before the 2009 World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony began, Jose Maria Olazabal had slipped into his dark blue Hall of Fame blazer and was about to pose for a few portraits with his Inductee Crystal.
As the two-time Masters Tournament winner was running his hand over the jacket to smooth out any creases and make sure it was picture-perfect, I leaned over to him and said jokingly, "Sorry we couldn't give you another Green Jacket."
Olazabal looked back, puffed out his chest in an over-exaggerated fashion and said, "Trust me, I will not complain about receiving this one. This is just as good and I can wear this one everywhere."
