In 1923, Who Was:

1. President of the largest steel company?

2. President of the largest gas company?

3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?

5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.
Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab,
died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson,
went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney,
was released from prison to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger,
died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement,
shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street,
Cosabee Livermore,
also committed suicide

However,
in that same year,
1923, the PGA Champion
and the winner of
the most important golf tournament,
the US Open, was
Gene Sarazen.
What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92,
died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure
at the time of his death.

The Moral:

Phuck work.
Play golf.

Could not bring them this time, I can't play for a while I'm recovering from a groin strain. Think I'll just spend all my time in the local cafe watching the Europeans stuff the Yanks in the Ryder Cup :lol:

I couldn't bring myself to do it.......I miss the game but my health is not good enough to get round with any real intent. Too many aches and pains......I might try again soon though..I am getting a little bit better with the steroids...

I did hear that it is a great course though..Do you play??
