The Star Made Me Buy It

Today we got a golfer, Walter Hagan, for Lucky Strike. 

I've heard of lotsa old timey golfers (Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Gene Sarazen*) , but had never heard of this one, which is odd, because according to Wikipedia, his stats rank third behind Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

* True fact: eons ago, I found a signed copy of Gene Sarazen's Common Sense Golf Tips, which should have gone for a good chunk of change, but I got it like a week after 9/11, so people were too busy mourning to pay good money for this book.  

BTW, if you ever want to see a neat golf movie, check out Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius.  Jeremy Northam - love me some Jeremy Northam - plays Hagan as a guy who plays professional golf only so he can afford to have good times drinking and womanizing and having fun.
