These would've been hilarious if my dad hadn't been an alcoholic that went through a 24-pack of those a night. My mom STILL won't allow anybody to bring Old Style into her house after divorcing him 33 years ago
kinda ironic, i was playing early once on a 9 hole course and it was drizzly and chilly , there was no one there but me , on the 5th hole , an uphill par 3 about 140 yards i hit a beautiful 9 iron but because it was uphill i couldn,t see the green , as i was walking up the hill a man and his 10 year old son were walking in from the other direction and asked me what club i used ?, i said a 9 why?, they said they saw it hit , bounce a couple times and go right in the cup, i gave them a couple bucks and said go get yourselves a couple sodas and be sure to tell the guy in the shop that you witnessed it .
Only white men out on the course playing golf. Women must be home looking after the children, doing housework, baking and cooking. Men of colour serving. 😔
The format of the show varied a lot didn’t it? I thought it was a “tonite show” kind of format with a few short skits, interviews, and musical guests and a monologue here and there. But this looked more like a sitcom.
This episode is always one of my personal favorites, Jack playing golf, in an on location, shot at his country club. Very funny, with Mel Blanc with squirrels ' voice"",!!!
That scene is based on a true story, Anya's shenanigans with American "Indians" and otherwise the Long Branch Saloons. True story. Possibly also Maria. Winners. 🤣
Oddly enough I played early one morning in a light drizzle, i had this little 9 hole course to myself or so i thought, the 2nd hole is uphill par 3 135 yards, i hit an 8 iron just sweet, when i got to the top of the hill a man and his 11 year old son were walking toward the ajacent green and they asked me what club i used? I said 8 iron why? They said they saw it hit the green, take a couple hops and roll right into the cup! I insisted they take a couple bucks and get a soda , the dad said he could use a coffee and they told the guy at the counter they witnessed it.
He was also the golf Pro at Hillcrest C.C. (where they are playing) and gave lessons to Jack Benny who was a member there…they seemed very natural with each other in the show. Hillcrest was formed to provide a Golf and Country Club for Jewish people who weren’t allowed at almost all other clubs.
You can hear the ball hit a mat on some indoor shots. This episode was great. Be sure to check out the Jimmy and Gloria Stewart episode having dinner with Jack. @@MrMistrEnigma
