Seen And Heard Tuesday At Riviera

My love affair with Riviera began way back in ‘46 when I caught my first golf tournament there. Byron Nelson won it. Ben Hogan was second. Stars won golf tournaments those days and stars attended. I remember how impressed I was. Ted Williams was there. So was every movie luminary, actor, director, producer who was anyone in Hollywood. Bogart used to sit under the tree at the entrance to the 12th green wearing a trench coat and holding a Thermos filed with God knows what. Clark Gable was around. So was Danny Kaye. Bing Crosby was there. Hope. Howard Hughes, even. JIM MURRAY
