It got closer to tee off so I went to find my cart and bag and partner. I noticed that they clearly didn't have my name on the cart and since I was alone they paired me up with the lawyer, which was fine. Apparently I took "Nick Van Excel"'s spot (it's Van Exel for those who watched NBA).

The guy came up to me again asking if I would golf with him and then called me Nick repeatedly. So of course, I told the guys I was golfing with who doubled over laughing.

Funny story. I'm the giant on the right. On the left is a former NFL safety for the Skins and Raiders. The guys in the middle are lawyers (and good golfers).

I took the shuttle from my hotel to the clubhouse and got out with the NFL player, the lawyer and former Dallas Mav Michael Finley.
