HamiltonBHearst - GCA's Man of Mystery

Don't worry Dugger/Macwood, next time I am in Oregon I will not attempt to use you for access to Sandpines.


Saw this today on an older thread.  Looks to be his last post on gca.

Anybody know why he's gone? 

Who was he?  Deep throat? Aaron Spelling?  Who was Hammy Hearst?!

Since he's no longer with us, can/will his secret identity now be revealed?

Some things are better left unsaid.
Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

Many thought it was one of Pat Mucci's "personas" but within the last two months I put Patrick through over two hours of rigorous electric shock torture and he did not admit it was him so I think he's off the hook.

I would also like to know what happened to that ultra quack, pseudo-psychiatrist, Dr. Katz, who used to pop up on here from time to time to mediate extreme arguments and administer to people who began to virtually levitate over some GCA subject.

Hammy was named in a thread once.  It must have been in the middle of a Merion-style thread (lots of action), because it went unnoticed among the readership.

I was waiting for HBH to appear in the thread about changing shoes in a parking lot...I was curious to hear about the rules at his clubs.

I once saw Hammy changing his shoes in the parking lot at NGLA, but then again it was late November after the locker room had closed for the season.

At Hammy;s clubs, members don't change their own shoes.

Mike,

Given the current economy and where it is headed given the outlook for the current budget and the huge shortfall (much greater than expected/much slower economic growth) we will have in revenues to support it I suspect someone like Hammy with a mixture of old school clubs and a few new gems has gotten out of all the clubs with $25-30,000 of annual dues.

Brad,

That's surprising...

I had always just assumed that Hammy was the financial Angel behind the scenes keeping some of those old_line clubs afloat!

Mike,

Bet he kept all the old clubs and got out of all the new.

Brad,

Yes...that sounds much better.

Probably biding his time counting coinage as he waits for the coming Jindal tsunami.  ;)

Don't forget that he is a well-traveled yachtsman and no, that is not his trophy wife. 

Rumor has it has a stable of young dock hands to change from his Topsiders to golf shoes ...

I much preferred Tuco Ramirez myself....

Perhaps HBH was none other than Bernard Madoff? 

Has anyone ever seen the two of them together at the same time? 

I didn't think so.
