	Tommy Bolt Profile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bolt has been selected for induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame through the Veterans Category, an avenue for induction created in 2000 to honor professional players whose accomplishments occurred primarily before 1962 and who did not qualify for induction through any other means.
		Bolt, of course, disputes the tale and will only admit that he had a face fixed in fury and always was caught exploding at inopportune moments like when a cameraman captured the memorable image of him at the 1960 U.S. Open tossing a club into the lake in front of the 18th tee.
		Bolt also got a grip on his temper in time to win the one title he desperately coveted, the U.S. Open, in his home state of Oklahoma in 1958.

	Citrus: Tommy Bolt says U.S. Open in the major to win
		Bolt, 88, played in 17 Opens, winning in 1958 at famed Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. The native Oklahoman led after every round with 71-71-69-72 for a 3-over-par 283, and won by four over 22-year-old Gary Player.
		Bolt, dubbed "Terrible Tommy" and "Thunder Bolt" by the press, is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, but he was under par only twice in 48 Open rounds.
		BOLT: It's a combination of the narrow fairways and the high rough and the slick greens and the pressure of being the Open.

	Taking a stroll with golf legend Tommy Bolt - PGATOUR.COM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The 1950s press placed that less-than-flattering moniker on Bolt for his occasional club toss, and nearly 50 years later the "semi-retired" husband, father, grandfather and World War II veteran continues to be dogged by the nickname.
		Bolt and his wife, Mary Lou, currently split time between their winter home on Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Fla., and their summer home in Cherokee Village, Ark., where he can be found throwing the occasional fishing line into his stocked bass and bream ponds.
		Bolt continued to have an impact on the game when he, along with other leading seniors, competed in the Legends of Golf in the late 1970s.

	GolfDigest.com - Bolt from the past (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Despite his late start, Bolt won a dozen PGA tournaments before coming to Southern Hills in Tulsa, where he made his history in 1958, where the Open is about to return for only the third time, and where in a way he may still have something at stake.
		Bolt's one-stroke lead after 36 holes puffed to three in the first of the Saturday rounds as Gene Littler (three years away from his own Open triumph) joined Player and Boros in pursuit.
		Bolt's last round was a medley of his specialties, long irons too solid to be long irons and fairway woods too straight to be fairway woods.

		In the last two frames of the stylized lightning bolt's appearance, the edges of the "Mighty" and "Morphin'" portion of the show's logo (click here for image) could always be seen starting to emerge from behind the circle just before the scene cut to the teens' morphs.
