My cousins get a pretty good payday...

Have I mentioned that pro golfers Brad and Bart Bryant are my second cousins? I just discovered that Bart (the younger brother) tied for 8th place and earned a cool $110,000 at the Bay Hill Invitational this weekend, while Brad (in his first year on the Seniors tour) tied for 15th and made $26,000 and change at the Toshiba Tournament. Not a bad family payday for a week of chasing a little white ball around a well-kept lawn.

It's interesting to note that if Bart had shot one stroke better, he'd have made another 70 grand. Can you say "pressure"?

Now you have to start sending them cards and gifts on every occasion. Sucking up is the best way to get someone to share the wealth.

BTW, Happy Palm Sunday

What's your cut?

Bert, I'm afraid it's too late to become a close relative, but thanks for the suggestion. And thanks for the Palm Sunday greeting!

Wallace, according to my detailed calculations, which are still awaiting certification by Price, Waterhouse, Smith, Cooper, Barney and Sons (Bar & Grill), it works out to approximately -- and I'm really just guessing here -- $0.00. But that's just a rough estimate.

Eric, do they need caddies? I have a couple of boys who will work for pizza ... plus some monetary compensation to the parental units, of course.
