Got together with John Hensley, Sam Scott, and Rene Galvan yesterday for a great day of golf and libations. The shot above was taken on a rooftop bar in Laguna Beach where we rubbed elbows with d-list celebrities.
“Doesn’t that guy over there host that show on HGTV?”
Sam and Rene were kind enough to introduce me to some of their “Texas traditions”. Needless to say these guys know how to have a great time as we all make our way north to San Francisco.
