Where every fairway is fantasyland.

He switched to leukine injections, two weeks out of every month, and has been better since. He is nearing the end of that treatment, all his cancer scans coming up clean. So far. Lisa is optimistic. Last year, he came back to the course, to play a handful of tournaments, even though the limb perfusion to his leg left him without much pliability, muscle, tone or memory. He has come back from cancer, again, and Lisa says he has come back better -- more balanced, calm and compassionate, with more perspective about this just being a game.

Lye the announcer has been criticized at times for being too critical, considering he wasn't a front-line professional like NBC announcer Johnny Miller. He calls it "just silly" that he has to be that good a player to be a believable commentator. "It's dumb," he says. "But a lot of people ... in the media, and even some of my bosses probably think, `Is he a good enough player to be an announcer?'"

He shot 75 on Friday, with Golf Channel viewers seeing and hearing his exaltations and frustrations, before resuming his announcer duties to call others' rounds. That score may have upset him, but it was good enough for the only viewer who could ever really know his reality. Lisa was with him for every hole, and says she is so proud of him "after all he's been through" that it doesn't matter what he shoots. She never knew him as a player, just an announcer, guitarist, husband and patient. She likes being a tour pro's wife, and he likes having her here, comparing it to "taking your kids to Disneyland."
