Guess Who?
Jack
Beat me to it, but that’s an easy one 
That’s not Jack,
it’s Laura Davies.
after a second, more careful look, all I can say is “Nice teeth Jack!”
I was going to say that was Duke Nukem’s grandfather. 
Captain Chaos
Auric Goldfinger?
I’m pretty sure Auric played persimmon and balatas, but he was not too good with the strict rules of golf!
I was trolling around the website and found some footage worthy of the 4:30 line Hall of Fame:
The first is Mac O’Grady getting to P3 with some ridiculous lag. In the impact frame (not shown) you can really see the pressure in his right index finger. He turns hard left post-impact with minimal roll, and the ball rockets of the club with a rising, boring flight. I find this particular swing footage very inspiring, embodying very much of what we are trying to accomplish at ABS.
The second is Lag getting to P3 with some ridiculous, well, lag. I had to enlarge the frame so the resolution suffers a bit, but, again, the pressure in the hands is obvious. The clubhead needs to travel radially about four feet in a split second, and it is torqued into impact in the next frame by the hands and forearms. This image seems to defy physics, although the recent detection by CERN physicists of a subatomic particle apparently traveling faster than the speed of light suggests that this actually might be a possibility…
This is Cecil Leitch. Thanks to Dariusz Jedrzejewski, the Baron of Biokinetics! for introducing me to her…

From Wikipedia:
Charlotte Cecilia Pitcairn Leitch (13 April 1891 – 16 September 1977) was a British amateur golfer. She was born in Silloth, Cumberland, England, the daughter of a local physician and one of three sisters who excelled at the game of golf.
In 1914 she won the first of her four British Ladies Amateurs, taking the title from Muriel Dodd. Her opportunity to possibly win several more was interrupted for five years during World War I. When the Championship was restarted after the war, she won her second straight title then the following year made it three in a row. In the Championship finals on six occasions, in 1926 she won her fourth British title, a record she shares with Joyce Wethered.
Cecil Leitch retired having won 12 national titles plus she captured five French Ladies Amateurs and one Canadian Women’s Amateur. She wrote two books on golf, the first titled Golf was published in 1922 in Philadelphia and London by J. B. Lippincott Co. and the second titled Golf Simplified published in London by Thornton Butterworth in 1924.

I’ve always found these kind of photos disturbing, because things can happen like a shaft breaking or a head coming off, or a grip slipping… as talented as the performer may be, to me it’s really miscalculated judgment.
I’d rather do that than the Jalepeno Popper’s from Jack In The Box, now that’s dangerous.
Ha lcdv, bringing me back to many college nights after I leave the bar.
Geoff Shackelford compiled some of his favorite golf course postcards in this slideshow. Thought you might enjoy it.

Same car he had when I knew him years later.
