It is my great pleasure to inform everyone that Team USA has a new member, Ray "Mundo" Bonilla. Mundo comes to us by way of the Guvna. They are old friends going back to the days when The Guv
worked for Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas and Mundo, having just hunk up his spikes (soft spikes hadn't been invented yet) after making a go of it on what eventually became the Nike Tour, decided he would go back to the best University in America, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN, for his law degree. While Mundo had to dedicate himself to his rigorous legal studies, he never lost his love for the game and learned he had another secret love, single malt scotch. In a cruel twist of fate, Mundo is now the General Counsel for the Texas A&M university system where he was most recently successful at keeping the Heisman winning Johnny "Football" Manziel eligible for another year of college ball -- despite his own best efforts to screw up his college career. Mundo is married and has two lovely teenage daughters that he will never be introducing to anyone on Team Scotland -- especially TTTTony....
When Johnny Football was asked why he sometimes refers to Ray as "Mundo" he replied, and I quote, "Mr. Bonilla has a magic touch whether on the golf course or arguing why the rules shouldn't apply to me in front of the NCAA. He is formidable, tenacious, focused and clever. He is never to be underestimated, for those that do are quickly vanquished. That's why we all him "Reymundo or King of the World" or in our case, just "Mundo" which, being only one syllable, is just easier for us Aggies to handle".
Despite Mundo now playing to a wee higher handicap, that's just the type of person that Team USA needs to fill T-bones' big, flat footed shoes, so he was quickly signed. His airline ticket is purchased (arrives on Monday so he'll be appropriately climatized) and I've been told he's already been practicing one of his favorite shots from his old tour days, a knock down 7 iron bump and run.
I know I can speak for Team USA when I say that we are all looking forward to being in Scotland soon and to having Mundo become an important part of securing Team USA's fourth consecutive victory!
Cheers,
