Finally, A Golfer We Can Identify With — Rumors and Rants
Ever heard of golfer Tommy Bolt? Nope, neither have we. Well not until I read him eulogized today. He died at the age of 92. Tommy won the U.S. Open at Southern Hills Country Club in 1958 and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002. So, he was pretty good at golf.
