ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)

[Riverman]

Kerry Packer is quite a story. When I was a kid I caddied at Muirfield in Ohio (very good private golf course). Kerry comes in for a week and stays on the grounds, along with an entourage of friends and lady friends. At the end of the week he pays all his caddies $10,000 plus brand new golf clubs he had bought just for the trip. He also tipped a grounds crew guy $100 for a cigarette. There was a rumor that he once won $18 million in one night at MGM in Vegas, but I dont know if this is true.
