April 22 Report: Olympian Bruce Jenner and LPGA Solheim Cup Player Tammie Green

First up today is a repeat of sorts as I've previously been fortunate enough to have Bruce Jenner sign for me.

Not long after he did that I learned that he was a golf nut and even played in the Pebble Beach event on the PGA Tour earlier this year.

All that added up to a perfect match to ask him if he would sign a Pebble Beach Golf Links logo ball I had gotten from the course years ago. He was gracious enough to sign again so I'm thrilled to add this to my "celebrity" golf ball collection.

My second success today is another add to my American Solheim Cup collection. Tammie Green was a seven-time winner on the LPGA Tour, including a major championship in the 1989 du Maurier.

Green -- who autographed the photo in green Sharpie -- played on two Solheim Cup teams, in 1994 and 1998.

Feb. 26 Report: Brandi Chastain and Bruce Jenner

Today was one of those days where opening the mailbox was a real treat. First of all I received two autographs today, which put me at the 100 mark just two months into the year-long project.

But as exhilarating as that was, I'm always a bit more excited when I see there is one of my golf ball packages awaiting. And inside today's package was a signed Nike golf ball from America's most famous soccer player -- Brandi Chastain.

Not only did she take the time to sign the golf ball, but she sent a letter back talking all about how she has fallen in love with the sport and how she has been working to improve at golf.

She also discusses her favorite courses and where she likes to play. A great golf content letter to go along with the signed golf ball and 3x5 inscribed cards she has sent me previously. What an awesome person she is.

Today must have been a big Olympics day, because in addition to Chastain's signatures I also received a few from Bruce Jenner. Jenner was the gold medalist in the 1976 Olympics in the decathlon, earning him an appearance on a Wheaties box.
