we had given a nine stroke handicap.
The thirteenth hole at Addington

when one of the Nipponese drove the
green, with a sure three in sight, he
and his partner were jubilant in every
accent of joy their language provides.
A stroke handicap gave them a two.

Ross was short on his drive. Nv

the ball

this. He made a painful discovery
