Iain Mossman, PGA professional A unique perspective on golf as it used to be. --Peter Jacobsen, professional golfer and winner of the 2004 U.S. Senior Open While reading Brassies, Mashies, and Bootleg Scotch, I couldn't help reflecting on my days as a caddy, but I must say I never received a stick of gum as a tip. --Bobby Nichols, professional golfer and winner of the 1964 PGA Championship
