I'm getting a Byron, there's a Byron Nelson thread here.
So Frank was like 60-ish, balding, good looking guy, had a good tan because he spent hours giving lessons.
Think about the old actor, Robert Loggia.
Do you remember Robert Loggia?
He kind of had that look and beautiful powder blue Zanza belts.
And the camel was a fixture, it was an appendage.
So on slow mornings, Solly, we would sit around the picnic table and think about this 15, 16 year old boys with a guy that, you know, we would never, had it not been for the driving range, we never would have run into this kind of a character in our suburban enclaves.
And so Frank's sitting around, it's a slow day and he's got the cigarette going.
He says, why one year I let the Reading open.
In case you're interested, shot 69 the opening round.
He kind of barked, you know, his commentary.
And I'm like, bullshit.
Like we knew him as, you know, a gambler, a booze hound, a guy who chased women and hustled lessons and worked in a battery plant.
Now he's telling us he shot 69.
Oh, well, who was in the tournament, Frank?
How about Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, and Sam Snead?
Now he's kind of pissed.
So I was already a good reporter at 15, Solly.
I knew the follow-up question.
If a guy tells you he shot 69 in the opening round and led Nelson, Hogan, and Snead, you need to know, would you shoot the second round, Frank?
