on which was number designating
the order in which each member was

nine holes. Four teams started off
together; each team captain drove

players who had drawn number
played the second shot and so on in
rotation until each ball had been
holed out. The drive off from the
next tee was made by the player on
each team who he'll the next high

silence when a player was making
shot there was bedlum let loose; each
and every one Of the 81 players on
the three opposing teams seemed to
