From Wikipedia: "Juan Antonio "Chi-Chi" Rodrнguez (born October 23, 1935) is a Puerto Rican professional golfer. He was the first Puerto Rican to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame....When Rodrнguez was only seven years old, he helped the family by earning money as a water carrier on a sugar plantation. One day Juan wandered off into a golf course. When he saw that the caddies were earning more money than he was he decided to become a caddy himself....By the time he was nine years old, he was proficient at golf and in 1947 at the age of 12, he scored a 67. In 1954 when Rodrнguez was 19, he joined the United States Army. During his breaks, he would visit whichever golf course was nearby, where he continued to perfect his game. Rodrнguez turned professional in 1960. In 1963 at age 28 Rodrнguez won the Denver Open, which he considers his favorite win. He won eight titles on the PGA Tour between 1963 and 1979. At first Rodrнguez used to put his hat over the hole whenever he made a birdie or eagle. After he heard that other golfers were complaining about his little act, he decided to try something new. Juan developed his signature "toreador dance", where he would make believe that the ball was a "bull" and that his putter was a "sword", and he would terminate the "bull". Rodrнguez represented Puerto Rico on 12 World Cup teams. [edit] Senior PGA TourRodrнguez became eligible to play on the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour) in 1985 and did so for many years with great success, earning 22 tournament victories between 1986 and 1993. He was the first player on the Senior PGA Tour to win the same event in three consecutive years. He set a tour record with eight consecutive birdies en route to a win at the 1987 Silver Pages Classic. In 1991, he lost an 18-hole playoff to Jack Nicklaus in the U.S. Senior Open. [edit] Awards and honorsIn 1986, Rodrнguez won the Hispanic Recognition Award. In 1988, he was named Replica's Hispanic Man of the Year. In 1989, Rodrнguez was voted the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. He received the 1989 Old Tom Morris Award from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, GCSAA's highest honor. In 1992, Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodrнguez was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, the first Puerto Rican so honored. [edit] Later yearsOn one occasion Rodrнguez had a brief encounter with Mother Teresa. He considers that moment as the greatest moment in his life. This encounter inspired him to help others. Rodrнguez, together with former pro golfer Bill Hayes and Bob James, established the "Chi-Chi Rodrнguez Youth Foundation", an afterschool program at the Glen Oaks Golf Course in Clearwater, Florida. The principal idea behind the foundation is to instill self-esteem in young people who are victims of abuse, have experienced minor brushes with the law, or have suffered other hardships. Rodrнguez also bought his mother a house and gave financial help to his brothers and sisters. In October 1998, Rodrнguez suffered a heart attack. He had an angioplasty to clear the blocked artery and made a recovery. He is married and has one daughter. In 2004 Rodriguez made a cameo in the movie Welcome to Mooseport, shown golfing with the "President" portrayed by Gene Hackman. In May 2010, Rodrнguez was robbed at his house in Guayama, Puerto Rico by three people who stole $500, 000 in cash and jewelry. Rodrнguez and his wife were awakened at 1: 45 in the morning by masked men who then tied them up and robbed them." On March 11, 2012, at the age of 76, Rodrнguez participated as an honorary player in the Puerto Rico Open. He played 18 holes as his final officlal round as a professional in the PGA. There were several events honoring Rodrнguez associated with the Tournament, and the tribute received extensive media coverage.".
