camera are staring at him; and (3) he has some bad habits--like gripping and swinging too hard--that pop up when he's a bit nervous.
It's not all bad, though. For instance, Eddie's 6-iron to the par-5 fourth green, at exactly 4:44 P.M., May 16, is one of the best shots I've ever seen him hit. And for all the lost balls and pulled putts, we're having a great time. Yes, Mr. Van Halen's swing sucks--for the moment--but his head is on straight and his attitude is good.
Afterward, on our way to the parking lot, Eddie tells me that he can't wait to see how good a golfer Wolfgang turns out to be. Just before he climbs into this car, he offers a parting thought, conjuring his best Sammy Davis Jr.: "You know," Eddie says, "you might not fully understand at this point in your life, but you'd better smell the cheese more often, so you know when it's getting old."
It's that Kite joke again, I guess. But whatever, you gotta love this guy.
