Golf Or Bowling?
Walt Disney gave up bowling polo at his doctor’s request and took up golf instead. He would get up at 4:30 a.m. in order to get in nine holes before heading to work. However he found the game so incredibly frustrating that he quit, opting for the more chill game of lawn bowling. Interesting to say the least.
Heartbreak
After Walt became quite successful, he bough this parents a lovely, grand new house. If his parents ever needed something fixed in the house, he would just send out his own repairman from the studio. So in 1938 when his parents had a problem with the furnace, he also sent his own repairman over, however, Walt’s team did not fix the issue properly and this lead to Flora Disney to pass away from carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 70. Disney’s father, Elias, fell incredibly ill from the gas leak, but survived. Walt’s daughter, Sharon, commented that even after many years, Walt could barely talk about the matter.
