Back in the 1940s when I was a kid delivering newspapers in Toledo, Ohio, one person on my route was Gene Sarazen's daughter. He seemed to be around often and many times paid me for the papers.

At that time, I knew next to nothing about golf except that Frank Stranahan, who never turned pro since his family was wealthy from owning Champion Spark Plug, lived a few doors away in a more upscale neighborhood, whereas we lived close to the university where my Dad worked. As a teacher, he had no interest in golf.

Possibly for that reason, we never paid attention to the fact that the golf pro at Inverness, a short distance away, was Byron Nelson in those days. Man, the lessons we could have had!
