"Jenkins created the language of golf that the rest of us just adopted."

Jerry Tarde filed a fantastic tribute to Dan Jenkins in the May Golf Digest that is now posted online. Tarde will be inducting his friend into the World Golf Hall of Fame Monday night.

Dan taught us not to take the big guys so seriously. After Greg Norman's collapse at Augusta in 1996, when Norman said if he'd taken the time to study medicine, he could have been a brain surgeon: "Maybe so," wrote Jenkins, "but he wouldn't operate on this cowboy--not on Sundays, anyhow."

GolfDigest.com has also posted this interview with Jenkins on the even of his induction, just the third ink-slinger to go in the Hall and the first to have ever composed a Tweet.

Which reminds me, can you imagine Herbert Warren Wind trying to Tweet from the course?
