Shortx stated before he left that he would ke-i> in touch with members of the rhih and would return again next spring to act as the course pro. It an\lmd\ hears from Shorty in the' meantime it might he a good idea for someone to tip him off that sev eral on this course have hlood in! their eyes. We believe all of that, famous trio had taken lessons from' Short v. Any way. Bill Payne started the charm, hoodoo, jinx, or whatever it is known as in golf terms, when he teed off the first elevated mound. And when we got to the green on top of the Indian mound beside the riv er and stepped upon the tee, as Bill Payne remarked, we acted as though we had tea-ed up before we left town. Anyway, as Doc Ed Adams would say, that guy who "would Have made Bobby Jones turn green with envy" sliced four balls into the river and one clear across in the cornfield, borrowed one in order to stay in the game and left the tee at the stroke of fifteen, making that woebegone, jinx-hole of all ama teur golfers down beside the river in exactly one less than 24. Later found a ball and repaid Bob the borrowed one and started to play with the lost and found Max par, but before you could say "scat" had to reborrow from Bob in order to stay ln the game. Later found another, and returned Bob's second loan, but before reaching the famous tenth l0le. took a midiron drive, broke >ur club, forgot to keep our eye on hs ball ? and the caddy did, too, -and lo. and behold, a dilligent eart h of the territory where we Jpard the ball hit failed to disclose ?s whereabouts. I Result at the foot of the home Bard hill: 2 balls found, 7 lost, a ?"oken midiron, score 106, and two Wghtlv-used left-hand clubs for sale. ?pua the desire to see Shorty ?
