The Villages Daily Sun was going to do a story on my father who lives in the Villages. He did not want to do it being on the rather reserved side.
He was a caddy at the Medinah County Club (late 1940s) where the Ryder Club will be played in a few weeks.
Home - Medinah Country Club
One of his former college roommates had been playing Medinah and had a bee fly into his Coke can. He had not noticed it on the Coca-Cola can and picked it up to take a swallow.
Along with the Coke he also drank the bee which stung him in his throat.
Unfortunately, he died at Medinah County Club because his throat swelled up from the bee sting and there were no medics close enough by to save him.
