to be seriously considered.

A man may be forgiven for

done at Rock Creek recently
that surpasses understanding.
It must have been a human
jackal that used one of the

iron shots.
Hole after hole was dug in the
carpet of green over which Green's
keeper Gregg had toiled with tender
care for weeks. Gregg counted
