So, next time you see a healthy youngster (80 years of age or younger) riding a buggy, tell him about ol'Jack.
96 year old Jack Simpson shows how it's done.
Mr. Simpson plays at Pinewood GC, an executive track just south of North Bay, close to where I grew up. Pinewood was the only track we could get on when I was growing up. This was with many thanks to one Doug Bell, who for a long stretch was the professional at North Bay Golf and Country Club. Mr. Bell was the personification of evil when I was a junior at NBGCC, casting a discouraging eye on all wet-behind-the-ears types. To avoid his wrath, we'd tee it up at Pinewood rather than attempt to sneak past Mr. Bell. It's a miracle any junior who played at NBGCC during his tenure still has any desire to play the game.
