I don't think he viewed himself as, you know, as as Alistair McKenzie.
But I can remember every hole.
then we had a miniature golf in a pinball room in a hot dog stand in any event we had an old pro uh at the driving range named frank stocky and frank was a hustler he uh he wrangled five dollar lessons and he was great with beginners and he worked in a battery plant by night and he played the ponies he played the lottery he's the wisdom that he dispensed to the teenage boys who worked at the driving range
always came through the butt end of an unfiltered camel.
And it was wisdom that no priest, mother, father, rabbi, teacher would ever touch.
about the real world.
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 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.
