I've had that Devo album since college and never actually bothered to figure out who the Swarthy guy on the cover was.

Chi Chi was one of my favorite golfers growing up. Dude had swagger and was stylish as fuck.
@RaceBannon where does Chi Chi rank for you on the all time non major winners list?

A pal of mine who played in MLB was playing winter ball in PR, and went to play golf at a local course. It was him and another, and on the first tee the intercom asked if they would take a third...out walks Chi Chi, he owned the course (Literally).
As they played, my guy hit a ball in the bunker on an approach and cursed. Chi Chi, hitting next, adjusted his aim, and hit it in the same bunker (as told by my friend). As they walked up, Chi Chi said "Your attitude is all wrong. You hate the sand, but the sand is your friend". As Chi Chi addressed his ball, he repeated "The sand is my friend" over and over, and then holed-it out.
Since hearing that story, I began to say it before hitting sand shots. My sand game got much better...CSB

I hope your MLB buddy learned in talking to Chi Chi that he was a pretty decent baseball player too - played with Roberto Clemente as a teenager.
8 tour wins. 22 senior tour wins. I had to Google
I remember his senior tour more. He helped build it
Considering the tour was whites only until 1960 or so he had a solid career but not memorable

Not Race obviously, who will be better equipped to speak to Chi Chi’s abilities better than I since he was before my time, but Rodriguez was only OK (I don’t think he won any majors), but he ended up doing well on the seniors’ tour.

Well, at least the golf section of our brain.

One final pop culture fun fact for you @YellowSnow - “Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez” was John Leguizano’s drag name in the movie “To Wong Foo”:

I always loved that move. My brother and I would try to replicate it growing up.
Quit plagarisms of my shit, boss.
I might do it on the course next summer for the 2nd Annual Hardcore Husky White Wakanda Golf Classic with @DerekJohnson .
