The Greatest Golf Photo of all Time? Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra
Golf Digest ^ | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2013 | Sam Weinman

Why it qualifies:

-- Because it is two members of the Rat Pack, both radiating awesomeness, looking like they might have headed to the golf course straight from another all-nighter on the Vegas Strip.

-- Because both men look unfazed that they may be in violation of the 14-club limit (Really, who's going to tell the Chairman of the Board he needs to take out that extra wedge?).

-- Because one of the woods in the background might not be a wood at all, but an Al Czervik-style beer tap.

-- Because other than maybe Tony Gwynn, no one else in history could pull off that yellow-and-brown combination.

-- Because Frank is making Dean drive while he can concentrate on evening his tan.

I love the mafia. They used to say Dean Martin only pretended to be a drunk.

That's true..it was all an act...Sinatra, OTOH was always pretty much lit...I caught him at the Sands, in Vegas in 1967...he had this one great line in his monologue..brought the hosue down..I can still remember it:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're gonna feel for the rest of the day..."

Golf is no fun unless something dies, or some real serious damage is done.

Difference between being a Drunk or Alcoholic is Drunks don’t have to go to meetings.

“Dino was the boss!”

I agree. He said he was heavily influenced by The Mills Brothers.

Dean only pretended to be a drunk on stage, but have no fear he was a heavy drinker.
