When I was learning to play golf in 1971, I played one round at the local course with an up-and-comer a few months my junior. He was an arrogant arse-wipe called David Smith. He hit the pro circuit as David Iwasaki-Smith & was in form in the 1990s. Now working in real estate, he's regarded as a prodigious talent but as sharp as a hatful of rusty hammer-heads.
