This is one of the most fascianting episodes of the TalkinGolf History Podcast I have ever done – the story of one of Al Capone’s Hitmen, the man who likely designed the infamous St Valentine’s Day Massacre and the story of how he played in the 1933 Western Open at Olympia Fields…and was arrested on the course during the second round of play!
