"Sometimes when stories of golf get told and retold gentlemen portray a version as to not offend others who may be offended by the truth."

Jeff absolutely correct.  For example Wilt Chamberlain once told me it was 25,000 women, not 20,000 women with whom he was with.  Some were married, some didn't want to be revealed and others just weren't worth mentioning!


Lynn,

Wilt died at age 63.

25,000 women would mean that he had to sleep with one woman per day, every day, from birth until he reached 68.5 years of age, so he was 5.5 years short.

20,000 would equate to one a day from age 8 until the day he died.

But why let the facts get in the way of a good story  ;D ;D

Pat:

I agree with your math, but not necessarily your assumptions...one a day?  I bet it wasn't even one at a time.  How long would it take if there were 5/day?

Edit:  Oh, and as to the book, it is an entertaining read but it should have been sold as "historical fiction".
