+ 81 guess you're kind of lucky to
| have me carryin for yuh. Nearly all
! the people / carry for win They say
II pick out their weak points Well
oughta be able tub. I carried for
Jim Barnes when he was pro here
and I carried for Gene Tunney one
time, and all the good players in the
kclub chose me TOR tournaments. II
just so happened that there wasn't
no good players out this morning.
so you got me.
"That was pretty good shot, for
you. OF course it wasn't nothin
like Mr.. Petty could have did, or
even Jack shattuck, but you KEEP
yer head down an went back slow
an that's the main thing. No I
didn't notice where it went Was
they a slice on it?
mo. amt found it yet, but I'm
! lookin' Them sliced balls just
naturally ducks under The grass and
hides. I come out here after dark
and pick UP a lot of 'em. Certainly
don't mark 'em down and find en-
/ afterward. But it's easier to find 'en
after dark, somehow, by just scufflin
through the grass with your feet
and kickin them out into the open
accidental
"1f you ask me I'll tell you they
amt no Euse auntin' for this one no
more s.. Maybe if you'll put down
another, and 4put your left hand fur
ther over on the club you won't Slice
it, and then you'll keep out Of the
pond You dubbed that one, didn't
lyou. No, I wasn't talllin' when you
! shot. I'm always careful not to do
that. Once when I was playin' over
here with my kid brother caddyin
for me he gets stung by a bee just
as I was drivin', and let's out yell,
and I made almost as rotten shot as
that one you just made. SO I never
talk when fellers is playin', and that's
one of the reasons why they like to
have me caddy for them.
"They amt no use of tryin to get
that ball out of the pond 1t wouldn't
do no good for me to take off my
shoes and stockin's, because the balls
sink down in the mud, and you just
can't find them Me and another kid
drained the pond last fall, and we
got about thousand balls out of it.
They're good to practice with at night,
when we come out here to train for
thes big caddy tournament.
There you go into the sand. Well
the only thing to do is to shut your
eyes and dig it out with the niblick.
Be careful about goin' back slow and
O. comm down fast. ! notice you do
the other way around all the time. I
guess you're nervous. A lot of guys
liI caddy for gets nervous, an some
of 'em talk to yuh something fierce.
I don't think a man ought to talk to
/ a boy rough, do you? 1t learns him
/ to use terrible language, and my
mother and father don't like me to do
! that. They say nice we'll behaved
/ boy like me ought not to be out here
! with loose talkin' men, but there amt
| no danger of my gettin' rough ] got
too much sense
! You'd oughta of got on the green
! then You can't remember about
/ keepin' your head down, can you? You
/ watch Jim Barnes maxim them nib
| lick shots sometimes. It's awful pret-
ty to see him lay them up. The
green's pretty fast, so you got to be
careful how you putt. I seen feller
/ go clean over it into the other tran
this mornin, and it took him five puts
to get back
"Well, how did 7 know that it was
wet where you was putin. You can't
expect wet green to hurry a ball
along as if it was down hill or some
