...Melhorn, only other U. S. entrant, took an excellent 82 on the final round but his aggregate was 324, out of the running. Only three players broke 80 on the final round. George Duncan, hoping to keep dry, stuffed his plus fours with brown paper, came to the first tee 14 strokes behind the leader, put down his head and played golf through the screaming storm. Displaying the most courageous game of his career, he shot a 74, and with an aggregate of 312, won by one stroke the first Irish Open Golf Championship...
...Joseph Castro fell asleep in somebody's office. Inspired by his snoring, a gum-chewing office joker removed a wad of moist substance from under his tongue. "Lookit," he said, "what do you say we play a joke?" Stealthy as a murderer he approached Joseph Castro, stuck a little tee of gum on the end of Mr. Castro's nose. When spectators giggled, the joker still stealthy as a murderer, became inspired to touch a match to the little tee he had built. Dreaming of a sunny beach, Joseph gave his nose a little wriggle, opened his eyes, squealed, tried...
...true that Tommy Armour was still within striking distance of Cooper's 301, but his putting was becoming pathetic and his nerves had been jarred by a spectator's motion picture camera. However, Armour reached the tee of the last (457-yard) hole to find that he needed a birdie 3 to tie Cooper. Wood smote rubber-and Armour's ball traveled 275 yards down the middle of the fairway. Iron smote rubber-and Armour's ball made a 180-yard parabola to the green, 15 feet from the cup. For four minutes Armour studied...
DIVOTS-P. G. Wodehouse-Dorem ($2.50). The Oldest Member still sits by the first tee watching people drive off and remembering- remembering so voluminously that he has to attach himself to his victims' coattails and drag them down to get an audience. Glad to say, the reader needs dragging down less than ever. The sharp sound of splitting wood and the dejected back of the vicar plodding homeward remind the Oldest Member of young Chester Meredith, ah yes, poor chap. . . . and so he relates how Chester came within a chip shot of not crashing the course record, simply through...
...Atlanta, Ga., a match was played in the course of which golf-etiquette was hilariously, enjoyably violated. Twenty-one ladies foregathered, chose up sides. Each lady was then allotted one club, shape and style determined by drawing slips of paper from a hat. The teams crowded around the first tee as their rival captains prepared to drive. Suddenly a premeditated bedlam broke loose. Ladies hooted, screamed, blew tin whistles, danced, threw clubs in air, did their utmost to superinduce inaccuracy among the opposition. Nothing save outright mayhem was barred. The match (two-ball) continued, team members shooting in rotation, regardless...
