Change
A local golfer known for his putting wagers turned
his love for the game into much more for his community.

ocal golf icon " Fast Eddie " Manderville was known to enjoy a money game when playing
a round or putting for quarters on Theodore Wirth GC practice green. According
to his cousin, Jamez Staples, he was an " equal opportunist " when it came to identifying
a mark and fleecing them with his smooth putting stroke. Perhaps the better hustle
was that Eddie's marks still appreciate him long after he took their money-because
his legacy in the game far outpaces his reputation for mining his competitor's quarters.

" I have been playing golf for a long time and I had the privilege of playing with Eddie
Manderville many times. I am honored to be here to speak in favor of renaming the chalet the
'Eddie Manderville Chalet.' He was a great guy. I remember losing lots of money to him on the
putting green. "

weekly gathering of the WPA (Wirth Putting Association) to relieve his friends of their spare

and ally to the area his entire life.
" He was just really a kind, gentle guy, " said Henry Crosby of his friend. " The last time
I was out with him, my grandsons came along and he was so kind to them to encourage
them to maybe hang around with Grandpa and play a little golf. He was a very classy
