Those who know James Reede III, Julian Woodfork and Will Smartt say they are good junior golfers and impressive young men. But impressive enough to inspire a professional athlete in one afternoon to donate $35,000 to save nine boys and nine girls golf programs targeted for elimination by the Elk Grove Unified School District? Apparently so. After clinching the season-long Champions Tour points title and a $1 million annuity Sunday at the Charles Schwab Cup in Sonoma, Loren Roberts said as much. "They were just great, great kids," Roberts said. "Good positive attitudes. -- So I just got to thinking about it. "I said, 'Gosh, it just seems like that might be something that maybe, you know, I could be involved in or have a part in.' That's what the Schwab Cup allows us to do."

That's the difference between a Pink and Green Sport lifer like Roberts(who's a good guy) and a Hockey player who happens to play golf like Doyle...
