Golf Caddies and Madness
"Gangsters on the golf course." Regarded as mere second-class shadows on the golf links, your local golf caddy is a liaison between the masters of the universe and the criminal underworld. Golf Caddies are paid strictly in cash, cower in flop houses, are prone to hard drinking and obsessive gambling, and generally live outside of the law. "They were dressed more or less alike: beat up polyester golf slacks, knit shirts-most of them bearing mascots or symbols on the pocket-and hats-a wide variety of them, from sun visors to baseball caps to Tyrolean pork pies. I had seen scores of men dressed like this over the years, sun burned and middle aged, dressed too distinctly to be hobo’s, yet not quite looking like normal citizens." Brown’s Requiem? – James Ellroy. |
