...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.

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...
