...made a quick change, got out on the course in matter of minutes. On hand to greet him at the first tee was his favorite caddy, Willie Perteet. Ike calls Willie "Cemetery," a refinement on his usual nickname, "Dead Man." (In 1932 Willie was cut up so badly in a brawl that a doctor pronounced him dead.)

Eyeing the small (diameter 2½ in.) hard-rubber disk perched on an elaborate tee made of two upcurving steel rails,* Gruber took aim, lowered his stick twice, then drove with all his might.
