There are three golf guys in
town that wish some certain 9TH
er golfers would challenge other
golfers to a match, the prize be-
ing some sort of duck dinner.
1t happened on this wise: Some
time before last Thanksgiving at
| one of the dinner matches, Bill
Malone and Bascom Grooms had
no opposition. And furthermore,
Tim Pittman and Horace O'Bry-
ant were likewise without friends
or foes. Well, it seems that Tim
and Horace began their round on
number six tee just as Bill and
Bascom walked up to start theirs
also. Tim and Handsome Horace
being generous souls winked at
each other and said, "We'li chal-
lenge you all for the dinner
Bill and Bascom also being gen.
erous souls said, eve accept"
From the first drive to the end
of the round the favors were all
to Bill and Bascom (also by the
Grace of God). That made the
professors very melancholy but
before long they asked for re-
turn match. By this time, Bill
and Bascom thought they were
some pumpkins and so accepted
again. But in the meantime Bas-
com got Simonton street and a
pile of bricks slightly mixed and
fetched up in bed with a busted
automobile. However, on the APP
pointed day, Bill was on the tee
without a partner but lots of OPP
position. Right there is where
; Cookie Mesa got into hot water.
He very magnanimously observed
that he would be glad to take
Bascom's place. This was on
Thanksgiving day, too. During
the course of play when Bill and
Cookie were about a half dozen
points to the good, the remark
was made that the losers must buy
the winners turkey dinner. Bill
said, 'T have no turkeys but will
have to make it duck" iAll this
Bill says he does not remember,
it is something Horace insisted he
said.) Anyway, Tim and Horace
duck as well as turkey and pro-
ceeded to shoot phenomenal golf
and earned duck dinner. to
make long story short, there was
lots of argument pro and con and
finally Bill agreed to furnish the
duck if Cookie would furnish the
trimmings. Cookie said he has
been trimmed enough already and
was not that much interested.
Well. when the duck got big
enough, which was a few days ago,
Bill invited Tim and Horace up
for duck dinner. In order to keep
things peaceful he also asked
Samuella to partake of same. The
evening turned out PERFECTLY for
at least three of the guys; it is
hoped Bill enjoyed the evening,
too. 1t began with some swell
cocktails (they all were easily
swallowed). Then we had some
puree of fish. deviled crawfish,
roast duck with mashed potatoes,
fried eggplant, creamed cauli-
flower and cranberry jelly too.
grapefruit salad, lemon meringue
pie, coffee smokes and such. full
stomach that it was hours and
lots of conversation later that
Tim, Horace and Sam wendell their
way joyfully towards their re-
spective domicile. Tim and Hor-
ace hereby extend another chal-
lenge to any two guys who have
anything you can eat.
Last Thursday, some of the
boys were playing listlessly while
others were playing golf. For in
stance. our genial Postmaster was
having such bang up game that
on one occasion he got right in the
middle of number one fairway, laid
himself down on the grass and
took a nap. All this while Old
Bye was looking for lost balls.
However, Samuel Ephraim manag-
ed to get less than 90 strokes
which beat the Duke OF Rock
Sound but was not enough to beat
Del Woods
Pete Taylor was out taking a
lesson from his dad-in-law. He
got so good that Fred Ayala says
he must get another partner. A
As is too hard to heat. Especially
when it is your son-in-law.
George Dodge was having
hard time beating Gymnasium
Boomer.
