...particularly long course (6,672 yd.) but it is perilously trapped. The narrow fairways put a tremendous premium on straight driving. The thick-matted rough seldom fails to cost a player a stroke whenever he strays into it. The greens of Stolon Bent are smooth but tricky to putt...
...second day, Horton Smith rolled in a 15-foot putt for a birdie on the second, crashed out an eagle 3 on the ninth for a 33 out, came back in 37 to lead the field with a total of 142. Jones's 73 on this round might easily have been several strokes better or worse. He took a six on one par four hole, and on the ninth, playing his second to the green, he whizzed a low shot into the pond. Going fast, the ball ricocheted, ran up the bank.

Suffern Tailer, Newport socialite, owned a private championship-calibre nine-hole course on Newport's famed ocean drive. In 1928, Tommy Tailer was beaten 1 up in the Rhode Island junior championship by an Italian caddy, one Joe Pezullo, playing with a set of borrowed clubs...
