Uncashed check for $70,000
And a summons. What was all that about with Ty Webb?
"I will not go down in history as the greatest mass-murderer since Adolf Hitler!" - Merkin Muffley
He lived his life outside of the realms of our understandings of a logical person. He doesn't even keep score.
shareHe wasn't even in the war in Vietnam.

Keep it.
shareMy guess is Ty Webb's Dad was extremely rich. The checks that Lacy Underall found were just money from the stock market that just kept rolling in for Ty. He'd cash them eventually, but there was no hurry because he was swimming in money.
shareSo why did Lacey say it was "pretty pathetic" when she found the checks?

I had always presumed that he was kind of on the margins of being wealthy and being a complete fraud.
His family is what got him the golf membership (why the Judge knows him) but he doesn't have any fresh bottles of perrier. Most of his story is made up and even his golf game isn't that great.
I was always under the impression that the checks were fake and on display to impress girls who didn't know any better. Lacey comes from a wealthy background and didn't fall for it.
I could be wrong, but that's how I've always thought it was.
I think you're giving this one way too much thought. Lol. She calls him pathetic, because he is so lazy and spoiled, that he can't even put forth the effort to cash a bunch of checks for substantial sums of money($50,000 would be worth more than twice that much now). And he was an excellent golfer. He carried a horrendous Al Czervik, despite the efforts of a cheating judge Smails. Also, don't forget, he owns a lumber yard, but doesn't even know where it is. That sums up how lazy/spoiled he is. Hence the term pathetic.
"The key is, you've got to be crazy to maintain your sanity"
Long time since $50,000 was a lot of money. A rookie Policeman would earn more than that in a year now.
share$50,000 in one lump sum is still quite a bit of money.

dies ist meine unterschrift
Pointless to respond to him now. But you wouldn't say that Willjohn if you worked in a grocery store like I do. To a bagger in a grocery store who is single having $50,000 is like being a millionaire.
sharethen how does he compare himself to other golfers? lol
