++ Joe... you get a Nike blazer with "Tier 1" embroidered on it in
gold... or so I hear...

Well I heard that Whisper has a "Tier 1" clubhouse near his private golf
course. It has a sign on the door that reads "No softcocks allowed" and the
inside is adorned exclusively with Wimbledon memorabilia from over the
years. Sampras and Mac videos are played all day long while members sit
back in oversized easy chairs with their feet up, smoking cigars and eating
caviar. Sometimes they play chess too, but it usually becomes dreary quite
quickly as they play endless variations on Whisper's favorite, the Scholar's
Mate. When a member feels the need to relieve themselves it's no worry...
one of them will say "I'll be right back, need to use the Roger. Where's
the TP?"

From what I understand, there isn't any Hoad footage present in his
collection though. Odd.

lol, sounds like a good place to me. Don't forget the Fed, Agassi and Krajicek rotating dart board on the wall too :)
