Crazy swing and follow through but I bet the ball sizzles at contact. Homer

Read 14.0 "The Computer" --- "the ball is also a computer..."



Despite his balky putter, Jim Thorpe compiled an admirable record on the
'Flat Belly' Tour and is now making his mark on the 'Round Belly' Tour. As
evidenced by a number of high finishes in the U.S. Open, he tends to separate
himself from the field when the course set-up demands great ball-striking.

All this precision from a swing that not only wasn't 'pretty,' but which
inspired this great description from the late Dave Marr:


"Jim has a swing only a mother could love."
