Al Capone: Par for the CourseLegendary gangster Al Capone was once shot on a golf course (at Olympia Fields in Chicago) when his own gun accidentally went off. Capone kept the weapon stashed in his golf bag... for protection.
[Trivia: In May 1995, an elderly golfer named Jean Potevan threw his golf bag into a lake after a frustrating round in Lyons, France. Then, realizing that his car keys were in his bag, he dived in fully clothed, became entangled in weeds, and never surfaced. His last words? "Oh, look - my keys!"]
Capone, Alphonse ["Al" "Scarface"] (1899-1947) Italian-born American gangster [noted for his brutal leadership of the Chicago mafia during the Prohibition era, for his reputation for generosity, and for his imprisonment for tax evasion (1931–1939)]
