From Waltz came the name "Lost Dutchman's Mine." and since his death in 1891, dozens of adventurers carrying creased, crude maps have gone after the treasure. None of them found it, but more than 30 died trying. In 1931 a retired Government worker set out for Lost Dutchman's. Months later, his bleached skull was found, pierced by a bullet hole.

"I'd practice driving an hour and get tired," he explains, "so I started chipping and putting to rest. I found it was more fun than driving." Unlike many top golfers, he has no desire to practice ("I hate it"). After four years of nominal service in the Navy, during which he spent most of his time developing driving ranges in the San Diego area, Casper hit the professional circuit, picked up his first check...
