...gangsters idly wondered how Von Elm had liked the way they had drawn some of the already-retiring tees still further back. How had he liked the look of that shaggy carry to the sixth green, or that oblique yawn in the eighth fairway that it took 450 tons of sand to fill? Had he often made a more perilous march than down the 601-yard twelfth, where they had smoothed the deep bunkers to dissemble innocence and the far pin retreated like a mirage...

The sight of this small, white object skimming over the grass and then bumping its way along attracted the attention of a neighboring bear which promptly gave chase.

It was Mr. Rockefeller's first game of the season.* His opponent...
...onetime U. S. open champion, grinned and chaffed with many bystanders as he cracked out other balls into the night from the first tee of his Briarcliff Lodge (N. Y.) links. The bystanders were illuminating engineers having a convention, and in their honor, by their ingenuity, the first tee, fairway and green were flooded with day-like light from huge searchlights, from bulbs strung down the rough; Not every ball reached the green ; only the one reached the hole at one stroke.
