Typical Friday, very busy golf day. Wednesdays and Fridays were gambler days. And so about 5.15, 5.20, I was standing at the bar and all of a sudden there was this thunderous boom.

Explosive Secrets
The building shook. I'd never felt anything like that. I immediately turned. I went out to the parking lot, and there was a car on fire, split open like a sardine can.

Dr. Sam Buttman had come up alongside the car towards me. He looked at me and he said, damn, he's dead.

Explosive Secrets
There's a member, and he was playing with Gary, and he was sitting on the floor next to his locker, and he was just sobbing. They killed Gary.

He invited Donald Trump out to be his partner at the member guest, and of course he had to make sure that everybody in the club knew a month before.

Around 4.30, Gary was in the bar with a couple of his buddies at a table. One of the members actually walked up to him and actually said happy birthday. I had no idea it was his birthday.

He had that gambler mentality, so he was quite a challenge to manage as a member. I constantly chased him financially. He was very good at tipping, but not very good at paying his bills.
