This is Steve (on the left) dressed as a 1920s golfer, standing in front of a sign which reads, "Hitting golf balls prohibited." This is at the northern end of Farragut Drive, which was part of the Jungle Country Club Golf Course in the 1920s. The golf course is gone but the sign remains. The other photos are of some his fellow golfers through the years.
