In case of an emergency, you might just want to call Timmy Marque. Afterall, handling emergencies is what the Belle Chasse resident does for a living. Marque has spent the past 20 years as a fireman with the Terrytown Fire Department, where he's a captain. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Why am I reading about him in the sports section? Well, it's because of Marque's response to what was a bit of an emergency last week for professional golfer Alex Cejka. Cejka was an alternate for the Regions Tradition, a PGA Tour Champions major in Birmingham, Alabama. Cejka got a last minute call on May 3 that he would be in the field, replacing Jay Haas who had dropped out of the tournament. There was one problem though. Cejka didn't have a caddie. His usual caddie had already committed to someone else in the tournament since there was no certainty Cejka would be in the field.
