...watched Dave Hill stroke seven-irons off the Pleasant Valley Country Club practice tee, his words of two days earlier ran through my mind. Most pro golfers are, in the end, Southern, inarticulate and super-straight. But Hill, a wiry Coloradoan who downs three beers and two packs of cigarettes per tournament round, is something of an exception. Very rarely does he mince words about why he plays ("I need the money--I gotta pay that fuckin' alimony") or what he thinks about the places at which he plays ("They must have had a goddaman artist out there with...
That left the 17th, a 441-yard par 4. It was a treacherous hole. The tee was set back in a funnel of trees overlooking a narrow creek. About 200 yards out, the hole began a deceptively sharp 75-degree dogleg right toward a 2800-square-foot green.

Well kiddies, you remember those little metal cases with the smiling faces of Paul, John, George, and Ringo. "OK, I have 50 cents, $2, $4, $5, $6...$10.50 once, twice, sold!" The crowd snatches up other rarities: a Beatlemobile, made of paper and string, for $10; a Revere plastic model...
...shrieks a busty girl in an Apple tee-shirt. Beatle pins reading, "I Love Paul," "I Love Ringo," and "Beatles Forever," dangle off her hip-huggers. She fondles the 45 recording of "Love Me Do." "How much?...$6.00? Oh wow. Sure...
