...point, a program was tossed at Player's feet as he was about to drive. When he walked to the tenth tee, someone threw a cup of Coke and ice in his face. Player turned to his tormentor and asked, "What have I done to you, sir?" A small group of dissidents rushed the tenth green as Player and Jack Nicklaus were preparing to putt. The interlopers were quickly hustled off. "The man who threw the Coke called me a racist," Player later complained. "Just because you're from South Africa, it doesn't mean...
...much less persistent than antibody-forming capacity." Reaction to penicillin injections cause an estimated 100 deaths annually in the U.S. What is most tragic about these deaths, say Kalman and his colleagues in citing a number of cases, is that the penicillin was injected for a sprained tee, an injured finger, and mild upper respiratory infections. "Penicillin could have served no useful purpose in these instances...
Some twenty minutes or so before the play itself begins, members of the company gradually come on stage--dressed mostly in well-worn tee-shirts and dungarees--and use the area purely as a playground. These young people--about a fifth of them Negro--dribble and pass basketballs, throw Frisbees (unusually skillfully, too), play with hula-hoops, spar and wrestle, do gymnastics, shinny up and down the swing ropes, and hang by their heels from the top of the stage.

He skied an 8-iron shot onto the green, tapped to within 14 in. of the cup and, without bothering to line up the ball, sank his putt to win the 69th United States Open...
Moody, on the other hand, played a steady, straight game that was perfectly attuned to the long, narrow fairways of the Champions course. He is long off the tee, and he uses an unorthodox, cross-handed style for putts because "I'm too loosey-goosey doing it the regular way." He was in trouble only once in the final round. On the 12th hole, his tee shot sailed into the pine trees and dropped in a sandy lie. He followed with his best stroke of the tournament, a lofting wedge shot that carried over a gaping bunker and rolled...
