By Leonard Finkel

commander in chiefThe journey of Dr. Howdy Giles is one of the most unique golf stories you’ll ever hear, his life every golfer’s dream.

He didn’t seem to understand. We were golf writers, single digit handicappers on a mission. And there was no one else in sight. But that didn’t seem to sway him. “Trust me”, he smiled.
