Is Enjoying an Extended Stay at Pinehurst.
Who
He's afraid there might be some unusual and highly novel features
in the trap he missed so he's going to stick around, and do his best
to find the trap he missed.
Hole in One
Besides all kinds of records being broken during the past golf
week, R. C. Shannon, made the ninth hole in one stroke on No. 2,"
in the Tin Whistle tourney the past week. When Shannon made
his report, the citizens said it was due to the way Shannon had
played the course.
"He reversed the system," said they. "He made a nine on the
first hole, and a one on the ninth."
But that one wasn't true. Shannon only took a 7 on the first hole.
There were many notable golf arrivals here during the past week.
B. P. "Buck" Merriman, Waterbury, Conn., arrived here for a fling
at golf. Merriman won the North and South amateur title here
in 1921.
Another notable golf figure here is James H. Gay, Jr., Phila
delphia Cricket Club. Gay has won his own club championship
several times in a fast field, and has shone in various links events
of Philadelphia.
At first. Gay had trouble with the dirt tees here. He had never
played them before, hits a long ball off grass tees, and figured it
was ruining his game a bit here.
"If I could play my shots from the tees as well as I do through
the fairways and the greens," murmured Gay, "I could turn the
courses here in real low figures."
Now he's hitting his tee shots better and feels that perhaps it's a
matter of getting used to conditions here before real Pinehurst
golf can be played.
A 75 for Mrs. Bydolek
When a woman golfer goes out on a golf course and rounds the
links in 75 strokes, she merits a prize.
Mrs. Joseph Bydolek, wife of the Buffalo golf expert, made a 75
on No. 1 course here and got a prize. The rest of it doesn't matter
but there are doubtless curious folks who would like to hear more
about that one.
Every month there is a "ringer" contest for the women golfers
here. Mrs. Bydolek made her count in the month of February.
The best score she made any day of that month on any hole, she
was entitled to write on her card. At the finish it looked like this :
Out 355, 532, 545-37. In 455, 435, 354-3875-075.
Miss Sarah Fownes, Pittsburgh, Pa., had a 76, but that card
wasn't even second best for Miss Fownes was given a handicap of
plus ten so her total was 86, not 76.
Here's her card:
. Out 553, 433, 454-38. In 455, 434, 445-3876, plus ten-86.
One of the unusual golf stunts pulled here last week was the
way C. F. Dow, Detroit, got his par 4 on the eleventh hole of No.
3 course the other day.
Dow sliced his drive and used a spoon for his second shot. The
ball hit a tree forty yards away and the ball bounced back farther
from the green than his drive had been. Dow then used a brassie
and on his fourth shot, a cleek.
The ball travelled 130 yards, dead on a line for the pin, and
derned if the ball didn't drop right in the cup. Dow didn't even
regret he didn't have the pleasure of a putt on that hole.
