Bing - at thegolfballfactory
A site - www.thegolfballfactory.com/ have put up photo of Bing captioned
"Bing Crosby - Golfer, Range Rat"
I'm not a golfer and don't know what it means but hope it's respectable.
Subtitle is
"Hay Bing, just take the whole box golf balls out to range, it will save you
coming back every 30 minutes and leave more time for you to practice your golf swing."

Re: Bing - at thegolfballfactory
The photo comes from 1943 and was taken in support of the scrap rubber drive. See Bing Crosby - Day by Day - June 15, 1943 on the BING magazine web site.

Not preparing for golf then! But 1942, I think from Day By Day. Malcolm, I believe you have hit the wrong key.
