He was so fun to watch on the PGA tour RIP.

[Bobbyvotes]

I saw him play on a tournament in Chicago burbs.

Chi Chi made golfing fun for the average golfer with his qips and tricks. Not tp mention being a seriously good golfer. RIP Merry Mexican

Wouldn’t have known who he was today if it wasn’t for Les forty years ago.

[Political Junkie Too]

If anyone is interested, Patti Yasutake (played Nurse Ogawa in the second half of Star Trek: The Next Generation) died on Monday from cancer. She was 70.

He was the only pro golfer I ever met.

He was at a Christian camp in Montreat, NC back around 1983 or so.

I’m not sure what denomination he was in, but he gave a good talk for the kids.

[BikerJoe]

Before me, my wife dated a guy on the pro tour and got to know a lot of the guys on the tour. Chi Chi was her favorite. She says he was the nicest of them.

Great minds think alike

[Retain Mike]

I remember one his great lines was, “Jack Nicolas has become a legend in his spare time”. What a wonderful man.

[Puppage]

I heard him say that he was so nervous before of his PGA events that he drank a quart of rum. He said it was the happiest 85 he ever shot. LOL

[laplata]

Yes, he was fun to watch. He always had a club in his hand and liked to motion with it.

[Yo-Yo]

Johnny Fever: "What do you call those little Mexican dogs?"

Les Nessman: "You mean Chah Huah Huahs?"

[ConservativeStatement]

That was one of the the three best Les Nessman moments along with the intentionally re-naming the Soviet visitor and of course the turkey broadcast.

[PGalt]

Condolences to family and friends of Chi Chi. Great & fun golfer to watch as a fan. R.I.P. sir.

[Zathras]

Dang you beat me.

[NavyShoe]

Is he the guy who advertised La Victoria salsa?

[Rappini]

Chi chi was the head speaker at a Golf outing but he got a call from Sparky Anderson of the Tigers to help him with some under privileged kids so he left us and said he would be back for the dinner. He had Big Cat Williams sub for him.
