Tee time: Shooting the breeze with Floyd Glenn, 86, owner of The Dogleg in S.F.

A dogleg, as anyone at all familiar with golf knows, is a fairway with a bend in either direction. Thus, the first hole at Presidio Golf Course is a 362-yard dogleg right, or the fourth hole at Harding Park is a 540-yard dogleg left.

So you might say to someone traveling east on San Francisco’s Ocean Avenue, that it’s a dogleg left at Aptos Avenue, then straight on to Ashton, where five doors from the corner the shop named The Dogleg sits in the middle of a small group of stores — flanked by Gary Cimino’s two-chair barber shop on the north side and a hot-yoga studio on the south.
