The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-08-20

In the first place, one go1fing
brother named Otto Kirchheiner
thought he was kicking his dog
but it tuxned out to be a chair
and therefore Mr.. Otto is nursing
very badly hurt toe which he is
sure is broken. Another gentle
man named Pious William went
off to Miami last week and could
not endure the rigorous northern
climate and returned with a cold
! in-the-head as well as all his
pleasing abilities on edge. Another
golfer had to stay home and clean
up the house but we will not deign
to mention the name for fear
other wives will use him as an
example. But let us get on with
our story.
Mr.. Hurricane Eddie Strunk
being a generous soul got Melvin
Russell for a partner and since
they felt they were such good
golfers they agreed to give Charlie
Ketchum and Cookie Mesa and few
strokes for good measure. The
first thing Eddie & Mr.. Russell
knew they were on the short end
of the score while Charlie &
Cookie proved that they were able
to win without the benefit of any
free strokes. The next time Mr..
Strunk will think twice, Melvin
hopes; while Messrs. Mesa and
Ketchum do not care if Mr.. Strunk
ever thinks again.
The next match had Mr.. Red
! Wilev Milligan and Mr.. Doc Pen.
ababe Kemp on one side and
Charlie Salas and SamueRa Gold
smith on the other. From the
very first hole played Doc & Mil
lie had the opposition hanging on
the ropes or we should say hang
| ing on the edge of the fairways
and therefore Charlie & Sam were
resigned to fate until by devious
methods they were able to get
even with the leaders. Once Doc
knocked in a par five on the 9Th
when he was almost sure to get a
z and another time Mile knock
ed in a birdie three on the 9Th
when a par would have been
very good. Both claim the shots
were made on purpose; maybe
Docs was but Millie did not know
which club to use until his part
ner advised the prtter and when
Red put the ball into the can he
claimed it was on purpose. How
ever, after Ii holes the match
was all even and on the 10Th Red
got the par with three SIS from
the other and therefore Doc &
Mile eat free.
Mr.. Samuel Harris (our genial
Postmaster) and Mr.. William
Fripp beat Mr.. Ii Plummer and
Mr.. John Pinder with ease and
elan although Mr.. Pinder admits
they had to so to the 18th before
the match was decided one way
or another. Mr.. RUNNERS
friends hope that he will remem-
Der which color ball he is shooting
the next time and then not claim
every ball that is found in the
rough. OF course, Mr.. Ii says it
is very seldom he ever goes into
the rough and then it is to keep
his friends company or to help
locate their lost ball. Mr.. Har-
ris being the biggest boy took the
smallest BOY for a partner and
SO when you get the big and little
of anything you have an unbeat-
able combination. However, the
big and little boys claim that Ii
and John together is a hard COM
bination to beat and they feel
quite elated to think they came
out the winner of the contest.
Mr.. Grandpa Bob Showers be-
lieved he could play SO well that
he said he would take Russell
Kerr and play key Parks and
Cid Bye Duke of Rock Sound
Sands and If they lost he would
pay for all the dinners. Well, of
course, that was a very nice match
with the result being Mr.. Grand
pa viii have to do as he promised
on account Of the Duke and key
won the match to the tune of I
up. OF course Old Bye admits
they had them eornered once or
twice but his partner knows how
70 recover the advantage when
he has to. Mr. Parks expects to
