...story, which an attentive viewer can decipher by watching any single episode, centers on the repeated attempts by Norman (Ralph Zito), the title character, to convince his sister-in-law Annie (Nora Seton) to go away with him, for the weekend. Annie invites her brother Reg (David Prun) and his wife Sarah (Louisa Jerauld) to the house to care for their mother while she is gone...

On the 202-yd. par three 16th, Zito was 30 yards short of the green with a two-iron while Henley and Alexander both reached with four-irons. But Zito's chip hit the pin and lodged three inches from...
