Linda Sluman, the wife of pint-sized 1988 PGA champion Jeff,
gave birth to a six-pound baby daughter, Kathryn Doreen, on
April 22. Sluman is a rookie dad, but don't worry: The noted
specialist in course management planned every detail along with
his wife before they reached the maternity ward. After finishing
34th at the MCI Classic in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Jeff flew
home to Chicago, where doctors induced labor for Linda, who was
perhaps more clinical than most first-time mothers because she
is a physician. Jeff said he would return for next week's
BellSouth Classic, although one of his friends, Davis Love III,
wasn't holding his breath. "They had everything organized, but
now they're in for a rude awakening," says Love, the father of
two. "You want to say, 'Look, it won't be what you think.
There's no instruction book.' But I'm sure they'll figure that
out for themselves."
