Cute couple, part 1

I'm always intrigued by men who can persuade their wives or girlfriends to accompany them to a golf tournament.

I noticed Ron Woolf and Natasha Hawes first when they were perched in the bleachers at 18, and later and the par 3 eight hole. Both times I bothered them to tell me their story.

Ron, who lives in Bedford, has been coming to Colonial since he was in seventh grade. Wednesday was Natasha's first time. They were oh, so cute in their matching powder blue shirts (and mine made three; is that a trend?)

Ron works for Bell Helicopter, Natasha works for Abbott Labs, and they met coaching their kids' soccer teams. She's a beginning golfer, and he's a 20 handicapper. At first, they were a bit coy about the state of their relationship, but when I did my journalistic duty and dug deeper, Natasha allowed that they might be more than "friends."

At which point I realized I was intruding on their date and did my best Chuck Woolery, and said I'd be back in 2-and-2. Here's hoping they make a Love Connection. It wouldn't be the first at Colonial.
