#extremesitting June 22 in Anzo Borrego State Park, Ca. 13 hours and 58 minutes. High temp of 96. A challenging test of endurance. The empty chair was sometimes occupied by Peter Wick of Azzurri Productions, producing a new extreme sitting documentary. What a great sport!

@CBSGolf @CBSGolfNOW Jim Nantz just said Jack Nicklaus never went into the water on 12 at Augusta after 1959. That's not right. I remember second round circa 1990 when Jack came to 12 near the lead. Playing with Watson. Went in the water at least once. Maybe twice. Quad.

I aim to bring the grueling sport of #extremesitting to Chile's Atacama desert, the highest and driest desert on the planet. Award winning filmmaker Peter Wick plans to be there. Just five days to go in our crowd fund! indiegogo.com/projects/ataca…

"A damn fine place to sit is what this place is." The profound words of fellow extreme sitter Matthew Francis about this hill within the Happy Jack unit of Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming.
