Just received the following email from Bill Strayton that I thought you would all like to read.

I had another great time in a great setting with some really great people. I would like to thank everyone at WSOG for their hospitality and friendship shown to me and my family in all the event activities. We had a great time, more excitement than it seemed like we could handle at times and collected a bunch of memorable stories that will last a lifetime. I played with a lot of really nice people and as much as I hated losing on day 2, I could not have lost to a nicer guy than David Morton.

I need to correct a statement I made in an interview a month ago, when I was asked if I needed my son as my caddie. I said I usually did everything alone my entire life and while I may not need him there, it was more fun having him there. Well I was wrong. I needed him there. Without him, I would never have made it as far as I did. And then of course it was real  fun too having him there. My other son, Dan, was a spectator and he thought he was having a heart attack a few times.

I also want to thank all my “fans”. I felt at times like everyone was rooting for me and I really appreciated that. I’m not exactly sure what I did in the past three years to collect so many supporters, but I love all the heartfelt encouragement. I’ve said many times, I play this event for the thrill and for the life stories I get to collect along the way.  I got a lot of both this year and I can’t wait for 2010. Thanks again to the staff, the players and the sponsors. It was great; again!

Bill, we look forward to seeing you and your family again next year!
