Tommy Bolt, toward the end of one of his infamous high-volume,
temperamental, club-throwing rounds, asked his caddie for a club
recommendation for a shot of about 155 yards. His caddie said:
"I'd say either a 3-iron or a wedge, sir." "A 3- iron
or a wedge?" asked Bolt. "What kind of stupid, #*!~%^*
choice is that?" "Those are the only two clubs you have
left in the your bag, sir." said the caddie. |
