Wentworth's memories of golf in the 1940s noted that "Several smaller boys were employed as 'shaggers,' picking up balls hit by golfers practicing or taking lessons.  Some of the more athletic shaggers wore baseball gloves and caught golf balls on the fly.  They were paid 35 cents for half an hour of ball chasing.  Because the practice range included a good portion of the first fairway, the shaggers had their backs to the first tee and could get caught in the crossfire."" - from "Out of the Pasture", edited by Norman Ritter
