I can proudly say my Dad was a top flight golfer in Sarazen's era and in the period right after. Somehow unfortunately, those genes did not reach me. Oh well. There were seven Turnesa brothers who were well known golfers and they went several generations deep. Glad to see you mentioned Meaghan Francella, who is having a pretty good year on the LPGA tour.<br /><br />I would love to see the Molinaris play at least a year or two full time here in the states. Don't forget Italian American Chris DeMarco has had his PGA moments and Rocco Mediate gave Tiger all he could handle and then some in a great duel in the sun!!ducks 64https://www.blogger.com/profile/17389335190149569036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-76360404526202996602010-07-12T14:47:01.300-04:002010-07-12T14:47:01.300-04:00Neither of the brothers is on the PGA Tour right? ...Neither of the brothers is on the PGA Tour right?
