Just a cute story:
Johnny Revolta won the PGA championship in 1937 or 38 at Twin Hills. Johnny was my golf teacher.
In 1998, about a year before he died, I was out in Palm Desert with my wife taking what would be our final lessons with him.
We started at 6 am and finished at 9am, cuz it gets 110 degrees real quick in the summer.
So we go inside to watch the final round of the Britich Open and I ask Johnny about his PGA championship and what did he remember 50 years later.
Now the final was 36 holes in those days, held that year at Twin Hills. And Johnny was getting pretty forgetful, I think he was 79 at the time of this story.
Anyway, he proceeds to walk me thru every shot of those final 36 holes, every story, how he tricked his opponent on a par 3 by taking way too much club and hitting a punch cut into the green and the guy taking the same club and airmailing the green, the lock of eyes on the tee, the knowing glance, etc.
Wow, what a story from this great old guy, I'll never forget it.
