“My golf swing is a bit like ironing a shirt. You get one side smoothed out, turn it over and there is a big wrinkle on the other side. Then you iron that one out, turn it over and there is another wrinkle.” Tom Watson, pro golfer, U.S. Open
Champion Ken Venturi was in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra and told this story about the singer. They were leaving a casino, and Sinatra went up to the valet to get his car.
