DEAR Charley: Well Charley what do
- you think I got here on the table
where I am writeing this letter. A big
,, silver cup Charley and win 1t yester-
day in the finals for the presidents cup
out to the club, How is that for man
J that dident never have golf stick In
his hands till this IT. eh chas.
And besides me winning the cup \
| found out something about the club that
I dident know about and II l had ot
knew It in the LIST. place they wou!dens
never Of had to coax me to get me in y
there club.
| After the game we come back to the
club house, and l left the Mrs. setting
washed up. The stewart was standing
| there in the locker rrn. and made
some remarks about wishing 1 had z
drink. So he says what do you wa0t
and says q high ball just 5okeing. But
sure enough in q few minutes he come
| in with q high ball and when ast him
| how much was it and tried to pay him
ne says, No you just sign your name
80 as we can keep track OF who got
it; this is personal Ticker for a guest OF
a private family. SO It seems like he
has got all kinds. OF drinks on hand and
a man can get any thing he wants and
don't even half to pay for 1t but all as
you do is sign your name. Pretty sort
| eh Cnas. and l guess will get writer's
cramp before this here summer Is over.
No more home brew and costly boot
leg9ers for me,
| We was to start the match at 10
o'clock in the A. NJ. but when ] and
Grace got out there Mr.. Thomas hadent
| showed up yet and when he come his
| wife wasent along with him. So after
I had introduced he and Grace I asst
him IL his wife Wasent comeing out and
| he says No she had some thing better
| to do. So we went out to the 1st. tea
and they was a caddyla peace for US.
but they wasent no body else going
along to watch us only Grace and I
| guess Mr.. Thomas don't like to play in
front of q crowd and had act his friends
! to stay away.
Well, says. I will drive off lst. and
give you a mark to shoot at. SO drove
| Off good and the ball went $50 yds. and
good and straight. Fine. says Grace.
Then Mr.. Thomas drove OF and went
| over to the right. You sliced your ball
says. You was standing too far away.
i So helped him look for his ball and
we found it amongst the weeds and he
began looking in his bag for q club I'd
shoot with. You better tale Your
| masher, I says to him. and sure enough
he took his ma sher and made a pretty
good shot out on the fair ways and a
| little ahead Of where my ball was at.
But took my wood and brass club and
got a good shot and the ball went over
the mound that's on the coarse and right
lords the hole but maybe 200 yds. short.
So then it was his shot again and he
used q click but he dident get no power
