Bob Hope and Bing Crosby playing golf at Broadmoor in 1946

Hope loved female caddies. After the round he would take them in the woods and play 3 holes.

"Ole Ski Nose" was one of America's greatest golf ambassadors . And the Veterans of America foreign wars never had a better friend.

I would like to whole heartedly thanks a million to whom ever volunteered their valuable time to post this gem and share it with the rest of us... Fantastic, ,wonderful job. And for your effort to better your fellow man, you will receive good karma for the entire 2010-2011 College football season.

God Bless BOB HOPE ! A wonderful American.

I wish someone at a network would put all these celebrity moments together. Bing and Bob even too the Michael Douglas golf tournaments for charity.

That is funny. If they were not friends I wonder why Bob secluded himself over a month after Bing died? Funny way to act after someone who was not your friend, died.

Hope and Crosby were NOT friends off the screen, they did not go out, Crosby slighted Hope at every turn, inculding not showing up at the Oscars when hope was MC or for that matter, anywhere Hope got an award. Crosby always felt he was "above" hope, and could not stand hope made more money and was much more successful in movies, tv etc.

they were best friends ofscreen!

where did you hear they not were friend?

[usmctanks1]

Hopes own words, the many bios of hope including statements made by his family, writers, actors etc. Crosby and Hope got along on screen, but rarely did anything together off it. Both notorious womanizers who traded on their fame to get (young) women . Often with the priviso that they will get 'in the picture'.

@usmctanks1 I think its amazing why there are so many pictures of them together doing other things then making movies. Like golfing and visiting places, when they didnt like eachother..

[caisandra03]

@lou1606 Where did you hear that they didn't like each other? I've heard/read that they were friends most of my lifetime.

[bluehachiroku]

I can imagine them winding each other up too. Darn it's silent.. but great stuff... 8-)

God bless Bob.

hope had a nice swing.. he also looks in very good shape at thatj uncture in his life, esp considering he was already over 40... if you notice when he's walking around, he has that athletes sprite bounce... hope did box some in his 20's & at this time was close to being a scratch golfer.. u cant be a hack or non athletic to get that good in golf.

[MIKESOWELL]

@kelvinkloud  He was always 15 years younger in both appearance and physicality than he really was.

Too bad Bing's only in it for a minute.
