My Dad worked at the driving range for extra $ in late 40's. Dad picked up a couple of broken clubs out of the trash and on his own time repaired them for our use as kids, with short shafts, etc. Plus a bucket of "smiling golf balls". When we took a Sunday drive from Fairfield in summer of 56 to cruise River Road, Dad stopped in to see his old work mates at the driving range. I was 7 years old, followed him in the range office.and when looking at the clubs remarked quite loud, "Dad, these clubs say City of Cincinnati just like the ones we have at home". Boy did I embarrass dear old Dad. Mom laughed and said well what do you expect , the boy can read.
