To: JandJtwins Subject: Just spent over 1 1/2 hours w/Bob Jeffrey & David Marr III. Date: Tue, Nov 11, 1997 16:37 EST From: JDLIS1 Message-id: Called Bob Jeffrey (@ Traditions) at about 1:00 pm and talked breifly as he did not have much info to offer. # 1 He did tell me The Tradition Tournament would in no way be conflicting with The Classic Tournament. As a matter of fact it was just the reverse. If anyone knows about golf tournaments they know not all of the players play all the practice rounds available. With the tournaments being so close together only makes it easier for David to negotiate now with the players already in town then. Which David later confirmed. # 2 I asked Bob if I could speak to David and he told me David was in New York. I asked him if David was there negotiating with MONY. He said not all inclusively, but yes. David was also taking care of some personal business. Bob then put me through to David's voice mail. This was done at about 1:15 pm. (keep in mind-David was in New York taking care of a lot of business and personal things) At 1:30 pm I received a call from David. # 3 I can not tell you every thing I was told (mind is too small) but I can tell you, a more honest man I have not met. Before you jump all over that last statement, If you know golf people you know what I'm saying. a. The Raven Golf course was chosen for many reasons. The only one I will list is the most important---it is the best course in town. It is viewer and gallery friendly. It is similar to The T.P.C. where (I believe) The Phoenix Open is played. But most important-----It made "MONY" happy!!!!!!! b. John Daly is signed and committed. c. Arnold Palmer IS NOT David's Godfather. David said he knows Arnold very well and although he is not, Arnold treats him as he were. Arnold is known for this. d. Everything is being done in an orderly fashion as possible and things are being set for much more to come. Sponsors,players,TV. (We all knew this was not in place. So why are some trying to act like this is such a negetive now or even a surprise)???? I know this does'nt answer a lot of stock business questions, but if you want more specific answers do what I did----call him. You will get any answer he has and it will be truth. I know a convesation with him will give you a whole new out-look on accy. And by the way---Jodi, I am not positive on this but I think I've seen you post something to the effect "you just got off the phone with David"???????? Good luck to all who stayed!!!! To all those who left--why are you still here???? PS. David called again tonight at about six and said they are planning to put out a news report weekly if possible. He said he knows how important they are to investors.
