    Apollo was a great character, but he was also good in the original Predator film and in The Mandalorian.

    "Yeah. Tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just popped up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of that bastard's eyes out though."

    Oh. Only today a golf podcast I like released an episode with him as guest. Basically they idolise him, own a life size cut out, used a signed photo of him as a trophy, and reference his films a lot. 

    So look up 'Chasing Scratch' if you want to hear one of his last interviews. There won't be much golf talk and I'm sure they bring out his sense of humour.

    His entrance in Rocky 4 to James Brown’s “Living In America” is something I must have watched 100 times.

    RIP.

    Ahh, that's sad. Some lovely tributes from Sly and Arnie and others on what an influence he was on their careers this morning. Seems one of life's nice guys too. 

    RIP
