"He's had a number of people he has been able to influence as a teacher during his time as a club professional," said Waldron."He was on the Georgia PGA boards while he was a club professional.He was the section's player of the year a couple of times.The recognition for his career is all of that."
After interviewing Waldron, he asked if he could tell one more story about his friend - "a genuine guy."At the 1990 US Senior Open, Waldron served as a rules official.The championship was played at the Riviera Country Club, and the pre-tourney talk revolved around the toughness of the course.The rough was thick and it was playing long.The competitors, "before and during the tournament", were "picking at the USGA" for its layout.
Waldron ran into Weaver while eating breakfast on the tournament's opening day.
