Glen was probably single digit in his golfing prime (He could break 80 regularly). Alice was amazed by his short game - short shots near or around the green.

When he had the Glen Campbell LA Open at Riviera, he would often play in cowboy boots w/ golf spikes in them. I have one of these Jim Beam decanters from that tournament. I think it's cool how the guitar turns into a golf bag.
