grill room at Washington talking
about golf and golfers and chewing
the rag about great golf stunts like
Lawson Little's feat of playing 155
holes in the amateur championship
last year in II under par; about Bob
Jones, and Gene SaraZeniS 28 holes
in 100 strokes in 1882. But Risley
Hunt, who has been around Washing
ten longer than Clarence Jones, which
is practically a lifetime, hit the nail
on the noggin when he recalled the
feat of DR.. P. Edward Dummy Larkin.
1t happened back in 1918. when the
Washington course was much shorter
than it is now, but plenty tricky, even
as it Is today.
RUNNY LARKIN was what Is COM
monty known as a duffer. But
he wasn't common duffer. He could
hit a golf ball from here to there
with the trained muscles of the ath-
lete, but he didn't know where 1t
was going to stop. Bunny was one
of the biggest sluggers of golf ball
ever to hit the apple from the first
tee at Washington, but his wallop
might reach the green. or 1t might
land over in Cherrydale. Even he
didn't know. His scores generally
ran, in those days, between 100 and
100 and any time he got close to
the century mark it was good day.
Bunny was the doctor In charge Of
the Washington ball club. which
wasn't such a hot outfit in those
days and maybe some of the lack
of skill of the base ball performers
found q sympathetic response in
Bunny's golf game. Whatever hap
pened, after Bunny hit his tee shot
he was through. He had no more
idea of how to handle a mashie or
play a chip shot than did Mother
O'Learys COW, which also set a city
on fire.
But Bunny finished the last four
holes at the Washington course in
total Of strokes. The holes were
as follows: No. Is. 800 yards, par 4;
No 16, 140 yards, par 8; No. II, $50
yards, par 4; No. 1s. 400 yards, par 4.
Bunny played the holes in 2, i, 2, 3.
for a total of strokes. For guy
who hadn't bagged an eagle before
in his life that wasn't so bad. And
for fellow who hadn't cracked 100
it was fairly good. But the big laugh
was that, even with this altogether
amazing finish, worthy of Sarazen
or q Jones, he scored lit strokes
for the round. Had he finished with
his usual average of IS he would
have been over 140.
That stunt still stands as the finest
piece Of scoring ever done around
