Additional Information
Personal: 
Born at a very early age in the town of Fairport, NY and he came out of the womb crying, "How much we playing for?" Ward can be dangerous with the flat stick. He'll putt from anywhere, because he can’t chip worth a lick. Note: He's consulted with the author of "Wedge Magic" and has ghost written a couple of chapters (i.e. When is it time to try using the "claw" to chip?) Ward might be a contender for this year’s NutOne after missing last year due to scheduling problems so he is primed to compete. He's tournament tested, having won the Blue Jacket 3 times. The first time he won he took an 11 on the last hole at Whirlpool, Niagara Falls, but said the pressure had nothing to do with it although he didn't have enough spit to lick a stamp right after the round. The key is though he has to avoid too many "Jack and diet colas". What’s with the diet? Ward is "an exact yardage" kinda guy. When told the sprinkler head yardage was 179 he asked, "Is that from the front of the sprinkler or the back?" He still uses old technology irons. He says it’s the special shafts. Could it be he can’t part with his "Confirmation Money" collecting dust in his wallet. When Ward opens his wallet George Washington squints if he see the light. Ward is known as a fast player and continually will be in front of you when you are hitting your shot. Don’t hesitate, just swing away. If you hit him it might stop you from going out of bounds, you never know. Ward is still sporting a "Titleist" tattoo on his left thigh where Trexler-San nailed him with a heeled 3-wood from about 100 feet.

Enjoys removing his bathing suit at the beach and letting the crabs (not sure which) nibble on his worm.
