...almost inevitable on the bowl-shaped holes of a course designed and owned by Comedian Joe Cook. Though the majority of golfers have never made a hole-in-one, Tom Washington, professional at the Monomonock Golf Club at Caldwell, N. J. has made 23. One G. Barnard, at the Prestwick St. Cuthbert's Course at Ayr, Scotland, made five holes-in-one between August 1929 and June 1930.

From the sea close by, blew what a Scotsman would call "a bit breeze," an American a "stout wind." Truly hit, the ball never wavered. It dropped on the dry, fast turf, leaped toward the hole, disappeared from the view of the thousands of spectators that jostled in the rough and back of the bunkers.
