Tonight, the time is 1965. The place, a golf course. The story, Open Warfare. You wouldn't believe it, but there are some people to think that Chaddie is a pet name for a big car. I mean, over those little wagons you pull around the course carrying their own clubs, there were people actually playing golf for years and have never
seen a caddy. As far as I'm concerned, you take the human element out of golf for any sport and what do you got left? Nothing. I mean, you could say I'm prejudiced and I kind of might be in a caddy, but that's the way I feel about it.
Besides which a caddy is a perfect observer of the passing parade of human experience. I give you, for instance. Now you take Jim Pearson. He won the U.S. Open in 1960, 61, and 64. Well, let me tell you about Jim Pearson.
He was the pro at the club here, and I remember when it all started. He was out playing with Mr. Hatcher. That Sam Hatcher, he couldn't break 90 if the ball had wings. In the locker room, he looked like a sack of flour that had been set down hard.
