Well, Gary, regarding Bill Murray here’s the flip side. If he stole my hat and threw it into the fairway I’d March right out into the fairway and retrieve it while pointing at Murray. If he took a bite of my sandwich and gave it back to me, I’d throw it in his face. And if that elderly woman had been my wife or mother I would have cold-cocked him on the spot and happily done the time.
Golf, unlike other sports, has rules of etiquette and Murray thinks violating them is funny. I don’t. So, yes you can be certain that I hate the “GET IN THE HOLE!” jerks and the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open too. Golf is circling the drain…
absolutely right about those swings. Jones prob would adjust his swing to modern equipment from hickories. hogan just had an obssesion. made pretty good clubs but you had to be good enough to use them. You had to earn it. I aspired to be good enough to play Hogans. Finally did in the mid-90s for a while. I even had a 2-iron I used on occasion. those were the days. thx for reading.
Great stuff Gary, always enjoy the not-so-serious slants but will admit an unending admiration of Hogan's abilities... videos of his swing along wth those Jones were what I grew up imagining... they belong in WGHOF & Smithsonian as two of the best ever...
Thx for reading. a pscyhologist would probably have a field day figuring out why Murray is ON
for 6 hours over 18 holes. feels the need to live up to his comedic reputation? has to be in character because he's so insecure about being his real self? the amazing part was, he didn't repeat himself or the same lines over three days. he gave 100 percent.

Excellent writing and enjoyable to read. No Bill, I am disappointed.
