Time in jail made a golfer of Notah
Historically speaking, the phrase "Military Intelligence" has often proven to be a contradiction in terms, but occasionally somebody comes up with an idea that actually works. One such brainstorm came during the second World War when, frustrated by the fact that German and Japanese operatives were able to regularly crack their most sophisticated codes, US intelligence hit upon the idea of recruiting 375 Navajo Indians and entrusting them with their most sensitive radio communications. Speaking in their tribal language, the "code talkers" eluded all subsequent attempts by the Axis to interpret their conversations.
One of these Native Americans was a US marine named Notah Begay, although historians are more apt to refer to him as Notah Begay I, particularly since his grandson and namesake, Notah III, has become the hottest golfer on the planet this side of Tiger Woods.
