Greatest Golf Hustlers

Greatest Golf Hustlers
They never wanted to turn pro because there were a lot more money to be made as an hustler.

The one and only Titanic Thompson, the great one.  One of the greatest all-around gamblers of all time.  Not only a poker champion, also a proposition gambler and a fearsome golf hustler.

2- Amarillo Slim
Another poker champion and a gifted natural athlete which helped him achieves success in all kind of proposition bets.  He once beat legendary pool player Minnesota Fats at pool, using a broomstick.  And defeated tennis champ and famous gambler Bobby Riggs at Ping Pong, using a frying pan.

3- Bobby Riggs
Mostly known as a tennis champion and gambler.  Bobby Riggs was also a great golf hustler.  The most famous tennis hustler ever!  Searching for fresh victim on the tennis court and golf course.  He would regularly handicap himself.  Like playing tennis with a frying pan instead of a racket.  And playing golf with a single club for the entire game.  Whatever the handicap, Riggs was usually the winner.

4- Jeanne Carmen
A B-movie blonde babe of the 50s, a trick shot master, and the best female golf hustler ever known.

Plus the countless number of golf hustlers who want to stay anonymous for business sake.

If you wanna be a professional golf gambler.  The best sportsbook around is Betfair.

Titanic Thompson

Titanic Thompson

Titanic Thompson is another well-rounded gambler who bet titanic sums of money on everything.
Born Alvin Clarence Thomas in 1892, nicknamed "Titanic" for the size of his bet or because he sinks everybody, not sure.  He make his living by the road, traveling the country with his golf clubs, a .45 revolver, and a suitcase full of cash.  Winning and losing millions of dollars (an estimated 10 millions dollars) playing cards, golf, dice, horses, pool, horseshoes, and any kind of "proposition bets" you could think of.  He married five underage women and killed five men in self-defense.  What a crazy life!

Hustler, cheater, liar, card shark, con man, dice manipulator as long as he could get the edge.  Titanic Thompson is known as one of the best proposition bettors who ever lived, some said he was "golf's greatest hustler", and many think he is the Greatest Gambler of All-Time. 

Thompson was a self-taught ambidextrous golfer blessed with extraordinary eyesight, hand-eye coordination, and athletic abilities.  He was good enough to turn pro but it didn't sound interesting since the top pro golfers of the era only make $30 000 a year.  And Titanic Thompson could make that much in one week hustling rich country club players.   

The high-roller who out-smarted the smartest, died penniless at age 82, on May 19, 1974, from a stroke in a retirement house.  Hustling till the end, social security checks of other residents were found in his room. 

The man became a legend.  Fictional gambler Sky Masterson from Damon Ruyon's Broadway play and movie "Guys and Dolls" was modeled on him.
