Guessing no. Before around 1980 they had to use Augusta caddies. Nicklaus won six and his son was on the bag for the last. I think Jack used the same caddy in the 70's but am guessing he probably won at least one in the 60's with a different caddy
Guessing some of it is an older married person who wants to keep the partner from finding it. They store it away and suddenly die and no one knows about it so it gets auctioned
No argument on the cost but if you have a complicated prescription (-9 and astigmatism) then mail order is probably a crapshoot. I use progressive lenses since I need reading correction and those with a high index lens are the highest prices. I may try to get a mail order pair someday but have no idea where they will put the transition points without me sittting there. On the other hand I buy cheap readers on line for wearing with contacts
Know the feeling. In 2013 I did a reverse endo on Picnic - basically tried to pull the front up over something while going uphill and went backwards on a cedar tree and stump. Had a really nice slash across the kidney for a few weeks
Will always remember growing up and NASA testing that engine. We lived about ten miles from the stand and it shook the house and windows like a large earthquake - plus a huge amount of noise came with it. You never knew when they would light on either.
Living here in Huntsville and growing up with other rocket scientist kids - this is absolutely true and a shame. Most of the engineers from Saturn are long gone. Went to an estate sale last week just because it was one of the top German scientists and I wanted to see what was in his house. To echo ramjets comments - about 20 years ago IBM had a meeting at the space center and a veteran of Apollo and I were looking at the Saturn flight package that IBM built. Guy was part of it and told me it was interesting to work on something that if you screwed up would probably kill a group of astronauts.
Even Nixon tried to release his recordings as an edited transcript and Supreme Court said that wasn't going to fly. I don't remember him claiming executive privilege so it may not be a valid comparison.
Looked up 76 relay team because of his age. Knew the lead off runner was 19 but the third runner was also around 20. USA won the gold with three of the four runners barely out of high school.
yeah I still remember one class my final quarter at AU in Chemical Eng. Without a curve no one would have graduated. First test was 140 points(yep - not 100 for some reason). Class average was 17 ( that is seventeen out of 140). Glad to have made around 30. Without a curve they would have flunked every senior.
Loved his comment about the golf course he grew up on - Goat Hills. When they razed the course for future development he said the bulldozers proved you could take a divot there. All of his books were fun to read.
I didn't do this but some people learned that you could redo the big Graddick billboards. Apparently if you cut out the first D and turned it over the color came thru so you could put it back on the sign as a B. Others replaced the G with an H and reversed the A and R. Almost drove into a tree laughing when I first saw that sign.
