Count Yogi
From the Book: The Secret of Golf

Count Yogi: THE BEST PLAYER YOU'VE NEVER SEEN

"No matter how I play, I'm never off my system. I more than likely will be the only consistent golfer that ever lived. "

He could break 70 playing either right-handed or left-handed. He had fifty-five holes-in-one, and in the 1934 Chicago Open, he made two of them back to back, the first on a par 3, and the second on a par 4. Three times, in Open competition, he shot scores in the 50s. One day he played eighteen holes in 57 minutes and shot 69.

Another time, he played seven rounds in a single day, shooting in the 60s all seven times. He once hit a golf ball 435 yards. And those feats don't begin to tell the story of the mysterious and colorful Count Yogi. No one - not even he - knew where he was born. It was either Montana or India. His father was of Bavarian descent (Yogi's given name was Harry Hilary Xavier Von Frankenberg), but his mother is thought to have been a Native American. One report lists him as a direct descendant of Chief Sitting Bull.
