“I never had anything affect me like golf and flying,”
Says an elderly (young?) gentleman of 96 about his two passions. Leaving
aside the flying, I read in his local Arizona paper that “he shoots off the ladies’ tee but, my gosh, that little ball goes right down the middle of the fairway,” according to his golfing partner George Babich – only 62 (a baby).
McWane’s other partner is Larry Ward, 68. “The age doesn’t matter,” says Ward, noting that McWane does have a hearing problem. “When Jerry’s on the tee, we don’t have to be quiet.”
He plays in his slippers. “One day he forgot his golf shoes and played in his slippers,” says Ward. “He says he played real good and just kept playing in them.”
