Hey-

Just a short story about Masters Champion Mark MacDonald of Dumfries, Scotland.

We spent some time talking last Friday before the MWC4 in Winston, Oregon. And I continue to have difficulty understanding Mark when he talks with a strong bur. Anyway ...

It all started when, ... I told him that I heard he recently got married.   

MARK: "Aye, got married last May. Auh married a cannonball."

ME: "What?" in surprise.

MARK: "I married a cannonball!" more slowly.

ME: "Huh?" while squinting to read his lips.

MARK: "I married a canibal!" he said louder.

ME: "Huh? with a stupid grin.

MARK: "I married a Cambell!"  he said with a laugh. Then he went on to say some more stuff that I could only guess about.

ME: "Ooo, ... I thought you said you married a cannonball!" laughing.

He laughed and we shared another sip of the wine.
