Really enjoyed this article by Steve Hummer. He's a gifted writer.
The last PGA Championship I worked with TNT was 10 years ago at Atlanta Athletic Club.
I saw Jim Nantz and he said, 'Hey Meck, How are things in Dothan? We're not too far from your home.'
He could meet you in Alabama today and see you 10 years later in New York and call you by your name. He has a photo memory of his memory.
If I ever had to go to the electric chair .. I'd like to have my last meal with Jim Nantz. He could bring a smile to your face. Regardless. Encourage you.
Jim Nantz is a 1st class guy. Full of kindness and compassion.
I had the privilege of working with 2 great guys for many years, Ernie Johnson Jr. and Bobby Clampett in the 18th tower for TBS/TNT. Many wonderful memories with EJ and Bobby. They are the best.
Ernie, Bobby, Jim. 3 wonderful guys who have the gift of greatness - 'The ability to make those around them feel great.' They made me feel great for 11 years straight at The PGA Championship. It was a blessing to work with them. - Meck
