Years ago, the Tour Rabbits would attempt to qualify for the Atlanta Golf Classic on the Monday of the Tournament. The guys would all show up on the prior weekend to play the course. On one of those weekends, Pap, the venerable Atlanta Country Club Caddiemaster, and I were standing by the bag room as a group came off the 18th.

"How's yo' man?" Pap asked the caddie.

"All bag," said Smiley.

"Ma man's all Bag."
