@R. T. D. WEBB of Washington
has a curious freak Of golf and
is trying to figure out how
- wooden tee penetrated the gutta
percha cover of a ball which
he drove from the eleventh tee at Col
urnbia the other day DR.. Webb drove
a new ball from the tee, off the con-
ventionai wooden peg and on coming
up TO his ball found the peg driven with
the greatest force through the cover.
The ball was half topped, but still that
doesn't explain the manner IN which
the peg was driven through the cover
with such force that it couldn't be re-
moved. OF course, he replaced the BAH
with a new one on the fairway. Both
ends of the peg stuck out through the
cover and fully half inch OF the
peg penetrated the rubber.
It's case analogous to that famous
one IN England many years ago, dur
ing a club contest. when player found
his ball had picked up woman's hat
pin in the fairway. He finally holed
out in some unbelievable number of
shots-16, If We remember correctly
and the bali and hatpin were preserved
as cllrioSities.
A considerable saving is expected to
accrue to the Washington Golf and
