At dinner conversation, a memory struck Wesley about the 1947 U.S. Open.  The tournament that Sam “Slammin’ Sammy’ Snead never won, was perhaps one of the greatest golf examples of gamesmanship.    At this Open, Snead was looking likely to sink his first Open title, having been within reach at two prior Opens.  However, a newcomer named Lew Worsham, came up from behind on the back nine to tie Snead.  With a bogey on seventeen, Snead needs a birdie on eighteen to tie Worsham, and cause a playoff round the next day.    On the eighteenth hole, Lew is forty...

Summer days like today remind us of Harley. Our store dog. An icon, a legend to those who came into our store each season and remember being greeted by her.
