Emily T Gail Talk Story

 Called Jack Berry the other day as the PGA Tour Aloha Swing begins in Hawaii. We talked golf and little bit of everything. Always love talking with Jack  who was a long time Detroit News Golf Writer who covered over 100 major golf tournaments and 43 Masters.   I met Jack in the 1960's when I was playing competitive junior golf. We became friends over the years and in many ways Jack was a mentor.  I love that he attributes his becoming a marathon runner to his running in our Emily Detroit Runs through the streets of Detroit in the 1970's-80's.  The photo is from 2002 when Jack was visiting the Big Island to do some hiking with his wife Bonnie.In recent years even at 91 years of age Jack is still telling and writing stories with my long time friends and publishers of Michigan Golfer Art and Jeannie McCafferty.  Jack was long time Secretary and President of the Golf Writers Association of America and is the one responsible for  female reporters finally getting equal access at the Masters in Augusta.  A member o
