Richard has been known all over western NY as having the worst swing in golf. No kidding, he really has the worst swing in golf. It’s so bad it comes with a health warning from the surgeon general. Do not look directly at it, or it might not only destroy your golf game but it could ruin you tennis game, bowling game, and any other sport you might want to try. At the top of his back you would swear he has two broken arms. Still you got to give him credit, he’s out playing every chance he gets. In some circles he’s known as the "Iron man of the chicken wing swing." It should also should be noted that he’s called the "Reverend" not for his religious convictions but because you can hear him praying early on Sunday’s mornings while going down a fairway somewhere in western NY. If you listen carefully shortly after his first tee shot you’ll hear "Jesus Christ! God dammit! Why do I play this game, it’s the same crap every week."
