George Bayer is an interesting tale. The big man from Bremerton, Washington, was a football star at the University of Washington and was drafted by the Washington Redskins. After his football career ended, he took up golf. At age 29. He had some success, but it was the 1957 Kentucky Derby Open that landed him in the “What?!” section of golf history. The original ‘Tin Cup’ display, Bayer, allegedly upset with his play, chipped the ball up the 17th with a 7-iron. He later was fined by the PGA Tour.

Score: 17.
