0 ■i --J -NOW HEAR THIS.. I If watching pretty girls in revealing dress, j walking through wide open spaces under a hot, sultry and unfriendly sun, and looking at grown men attack a small white ball for large sums of money is your bag, you would have enjoyed the action at Quail Hollow Country Club Sunday afternoon. The occasion was the annual KemDer ODen Golf Tournament which attracts golf nuts in unusually large numbers. This reporter was among them Sunday afternoon mostly from want ol something better to do but largely because of an invitation from a dear friend. ii an started about 9:30 am Sunday morning when Bob Fuller, the executive with Budweiser Company made his usual Sunday morning com munication. However, instead of an invitation to play a round of golf, Bob thought it would be a good idea if we’d go out and let the pros competing in the Kemper Open show us how to hit the golf ball. It was not a good idea. First of all, it seemed that more than 20,000 other lovers of the game of golt woke up early Sunday morning with the same idea and most of them converged on spacious Quail Hollow at precisely the same time. This, of course brought about a traffic jam which resulted in a sea of cars winding their way in endless numbers into parking lots that were more than three miles away from the golfers and the pretty girls in revealine dress. “Don’t fret,” Bob assured, explaining that the Kemper promoters “think of everything” Indeed they do. For there were buses waiting to speed us to the scene of the action. The only problems were the more than 20,000 people all clamoring to get on the same bus. After a ride of about a mile and a half, a lovely place came into view. There were almost as many hawkers as there were spectators. Quail Hollow is a lovely place, especially the pretty girls in revealing dress were of all sizes and colors. Some were just right, others were pleasingly plump, some were not so pleasingly plump and an unusually large number were disgustingly skinny. Bob quickly and expertly directed my attent ion away from the girls to the touring profess ionals who were intent on earning large sums of money. Our first mission was to follow Jim Dent, a large man who appears to be easy going. Dent is a native of Augusta, Ga. who punishes a golf ball for unbelievable distance. As expected the great majority of the Blacks in attendance were strolling behind their big, likeable hero. There were numerous distract ions. Obviously most of Dent’s hero worshippers were making their first visit to a golf course because most were not aware that true golf fans do not talk, crankle papers, greet friends, or continue walking when a man is about to hit a ball. Disappointment showed often as Dent missed short putts and there was a large lady in shorts who chuckled. “I thought they said he could play golf,” when Dent missed a six-toot eagle putt. Luckily the distractions didn’t appear to unnerve Dent. All of Dent’s followers were not novice. There were people in the crowd like Eddie Harris, the golf coach at Johnson C. Smith University; Claude “Bubber” Withers, the veteran postal employee; “Pop” Warner, John Shadd, Hazel Freeman, Judge Clifton Johnson, Everett “Ed” Taylor, Bunky Johnson and Earl Johnson who were enjoying the action. Dent made the visit well worth the time spent watching grown men whacking golf balls, pretty girls in revealing dress under a gruelling, hot and unfriendly sun. your National Black Net work Station.
