Bob Flynt has the airs and graces of the golf club professional he was for more than 40 years in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where, as it happens, they know quite a lot about the game. When young, Bob came thisclose to joining the PGA tour just as he had to joining a Major League Baseball team. His reputation in the world of North Carolina golf was grand and he counted baseball superstar Sandy Koufax among his clients. Flynt is delightfully affable, good with all kinds of customers of all kinds of abilities. He’s the kind of guy you want to have a beer with, but he doesn’t shy from describing his family’s grim, crime-ridden history. He tells the story without fear and without favor.
