...umbrellas -and almost literally Tony landed on his nose. He lost a stroke at the sixth hole, another at the eighth, two more on the 480-yd. ninth when he bombed his drive under the branches of a lowhanging pine tree (see cut) and barely managed to salvage a bogey. ("I just crawled in there on my hands and knees, said a quick prayer, and backhanded the ball," said Tony.) But the real disaster occurred at the 14th hole, a dinky (139 yds.) par three.

Ah, Time, beneath that rugged grain lie vast wellsprings of tender vulnerability. Behind the carpe diem don't-give-a-damn throb the profundities of ultimate concern. To Time, Bogey, in sex as in all, is hard-boiled egoistic opportunist. We know what he is really after. A little bare Thou...
