When I took up the game in the early 90s I was playing with 2 friends, one a recent college grad and the other guy a retired USAF Sargent-Major. The 3some ahead of us included 2 former Oakland Raider football players - Jack Tatum and Raymond Chester. Jack Tatum's nickname was the assassin and was probably the hardest hitting football player pound for pound in his day. Raymond Chester was a tight end, probably about 6' 4" tall.
They were playing slow, so the retired sargent-major tells them to snap-crap and pick up the pace. My other friend and I said "Do you realize who two of those guys are?". The sargent-major says " I don't give a damn if they played in the NFL, they need to shake a leg!"
My friend and I moved to the opposite side of the fairway to walk down the fairway because we didn't want to be tackling dummies for Tatum and Chester.
I guess Tatum and Chester figured the old sargent-major might be crazy and do something, so they picked up the pace and and moved quickly for the remainder of the round.
