"No air conditioning, no ice, no TV, no phone. It was a grand slam."

Thanks to Mike O'Malley for Tweeting this Dan Jenkins Q&A transcript from two years ago. Included are Dan's memories of the Atlanta 2001 PGA media hotel from hell.

JULIUS MASON: Before we go to Q&A as I believe there are several that have questions for you, Dan, I will go back to that Atlanta hotel for a quick moment.

And hopefully there are no representatives from the Sheraton Properties in this media center. It was the Four Points. I remember Dan coming up to me because after the PGA was over they were going to level the place and create a new facility. So when media were calling down to the front desk to say my toilet isn't flushing or my sink isn't working, they would acknowledge that, but wouldn't send anybody up to fix it because it would cost money to fix something that they were going to rip down the next day.

When Dan came in the media center the next morning, he said, "What exactly is the name of the property we're staying in?" "It's the Sheraton Four Points." He said, "Four points out of 10?" (Laughter)

DAN JENKINS: No air conditioning, no ice, no TV, no phone. It was a grand slam. (Laughter).

JULIUS MASON: I think some of your friends might have a question or two of you.
