The Golf Pro Who Got Into Trouble
A quirky reminiscence recalls an early golf pro once paid to stay off the links. He joked about spoons and forks, misplayed shots, and the greens committee suing over a tractor mishap. Neighbors feared the blasting of a nibtick and the bunker panic, while friends teased his oddities and name each ball. The tale ends with the man moving to New York to dig subways and finding work.
