I‘ll give you the inside stuff on what went on out there today." My news nose twitched. "But you gotta carry my bags across the ramp. Make me look good." For "You‘re a miracle man," he gushed. Sloshing off to the first tee, needing two steps to advance one, my lifesaving footwear clearly was oversize. All day, the leader board confirmed. Dry feet but blown birds and bogies galore. Storming in, he hurled my galoshes into the mud, "Bloody sportswriters! You‘re all alike. Cost me money!" At the hotel, Bobby did, "Buy me dinner and you‘ll have your exclusive." He waited for someâ€" body to tip the doorman, meaning me. That‘s where I last saw him as I floored the old Pontiac Chief‘s gas pedal to go give the pro wrestlers some free ink. Freddy Haas suffered fear of wet feet. Since rain is known to fall on the Open, Freddy cringed at first light the second round day when fairways and greens showed up bogs. "What‘ll I do?" he sobbed. My old backseat emergency galoshes came to the rescue. "Try these," I offered. "They look b1g But might help." For what? I wondered. "For the story you want," he snapped. I took his offering, shredded it, and let it fly into the night. "Try again," I said. Most of my names only truly aged seniors will recall. By and large forgotten shotsmiths (to coin a phrase), some gone to a celestial rough to nudge for better lies. Bobby Locke came up from South Africa one year. To snatch a scoop interview, I raced to the airâ€" port to offer a free chauffeuring serâ€" vice downtown. "Those customs bastards charged me twentyâ€"five bucks," The Great One fumed. He handed me a slip. "Here‘s the receipt. You owe me." ast week‘s Oakville Beaver ©94 Canadian Open special flashed me back to long ago Opens during my peonage as a big city daily‘s sports editor. Its bosses were starry eyed over the game‘s leader board gypsies; thus, requiring my rapt attention. Memories of mixing with angry golfers at the Open Leroy Goldsworthy set up my very best ever Canadian Open. Before turning golf pro, ‘Goldie‘ was the stylish hockey Montreal Canadien in winter and baseball Montreal Royal in summer. Bases loaded, with ‘Goldie‘ in the box, I tipped off our pitcher, "First pitch him fastball, outside, under the letters." I eased into the three hours, we sat at opposite ends of the North Star‘s cabin. There was a late autumn exhibiâ€" tion baseball game; he fresh from his International League season, me from my Southern Association camâ€" paign. We knew ‘Goldie‘s book â€" a stylish hitter, meaning slow bat. _ FREE MATTRESS REMOVAL + It was my easiest Canadian Open ever. Thanks, ‘Goldie‘ â€" wherever you are. He arranged for runners to do the work. Check the leader board. Trudge the fairways. Freeze wordâ€" less on the greens. Give us status reports in the bar. "No need to watch those guys out there," he said. hole, no man‘s land, the book says, for a second sacker alert to a rightie hitter. Ten years later, ‘Goldie‘ was a Canadian Open‘s host pro. We renewed our acquaintance. "You sumbitch," he chuckled, "you stood in the wrong place." I ordered a scotch reâ€"fill. "You sumbitch, you hit it in the wrong place." ‘Goldie‘s liner shot straight and true. I could count the seams. A litâ€" tle Leaguer could have made the catch. A triple play. He headed for me in a torrent of fâ€"words. I braced to counter. Umpire John Ducey saved us, interâ€" ceded just when we each fretted what to do if left alone. 2520 BRISTOL CIRCLE BETWEEN WINSTON CHURCHILL #403 OFF DUNDAS BEHIND AIKENKEAD‘S THE OAKVILLE BEAVER For more information, please call: _ Walter Collis (905) 845â€"5122 CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1994 Entry Fee enclosed $ Extra Dinners ($75 per person) CiTY POSTAT CODE CAPTAIN THE GLEN ABBEY GOLF CLUB \@/gk@ QAKVILLE KIWANIS CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT HOME OF THE RCGA CANADIANOPEN Proceeds to THE HOSPITAL FOR SICK CIHILDREN SHOT GUN TEE OFT 11 A.M.
