Alexander hit his drive on the dogleg par-five 18th in A-one position and then burnished a two-iron 30 feet from the pin. He rolled in the putt on the broadloom green for his three...
...holes Dales innocently coasted along displaying the midseason form that earned him the low round of 73 in the linksters' last outing before the course reached up and grabbed him. Dales' fatal Cleopatra proved to be the 16th. The hole is a 535-yard double dogleg with water encircling the green...
...factors may be involved, notably a concept called elastic deformation, in which moving land masses snag against each other and force some of the earth's crust to roll up like a rug pushed against a wall.

There the two huge plates, which normally grind past each other in opposite directions, appear to be locked together, causing a buildup of tremendous strain that eventually must be released in one or more quakes...

"She finished 25th or 30th," Bartlett adds by way of a post mortem...
