Then came Jonas Grumby, better known as the skipper. Jim Backus was also a big golfer. Russell Johnson told the story that the two would go out a hit a few balls between scenes. Once, as the two bet who could hit the ball the farthest, Jim hit a ball which went right through a CBS employee's windshield. When the irate employee showed up demanded to know who did it, Jim pointed to Alan and said something to the affect of " Look at the size of that big guy....you think *I* could do something like that?!
