He could break 70 playing left-handed or right-handed.
He had fifty-five holes-in-one, and in the 1934 Chicago Open, he made two of them back-to-back, the first on a par 3, the next on a par 4.
Three times, in Open competition, he shot scores in the 50's.
One day he played eighteen holes in 57 minutes and shot 69.
Another day, he play seven rounds in a single day, shotting in the 60's in each of them.
In 1950, he entered the Western Open qualifier and led the field with a course-record 66, two strokes better than the eventual winner, Sam Snead. But the PGA banned him from playing in the tournament, just as they had always shunned him and kept him from competing on the national level.
His name? Harry Frankenburg, aka Count Yogi, and he may very well have held the records that Tiger would be chasing, had he been allowed to compete. |
Let me see if I can figure out how to use these smilie things, yep, that's it.
