A Family Affair

By Billy Condon

As mentioned earlier, Mike Ballo has his brother Peter on his bag today at the Met Amateur. Peter, who begins his freshman year at St. John's University this fall, has been receiving guidance all summer- (and throughout his life) from fellow Red Storm teammate and senior captain, brother Mike.

Ed Whitman, the head golf professional at Knickerbocker is also out on the course at Hackensack today. How is this possible at an amateur event? Ed has taken on the caddie duty for his son Brian. The Whitman duo seems to be having success as Brian played his first nine holes (the back nine) at two-under. Words of wisdom: Keep paying attention to dad's reads!

Note: The three Wilson's in the field: Cameron, Pat and Peter are not related.
