The Omaha guide., 1941-06-28

4 SendycakeS and Mlcken, none.
So Mickens suggested making it
8 or nothing: and Sims agreed.
Sims missed his putt. And Mick
ems after sizing up his six footer
from all angles, tapped it to with
in IA of an ich of the hole, where
it hung precariously. Sims grin
ned with relief. Mickens started
to talk to himself; Il can't under
(pause)-STAnd, why m-me-my
put-put-putts won't drop" About
that time the blade of grass keep
ing the ball out Of the hole gave
away under the strain and the
ball went "Kuplucket" and Mick
ems says:
@~~@~~~@~-~-~
Perseverance is the eventual
solution of the intricacies and COM
plexities of this complicated game
known as golf"
And Sims sed. Jaw Shut Up!
Penny On the Parpath-
1t was just before the Sent
Lewis flood of SO and Hotter than
the dad Mans" Boiler Room.
A foursome, composed of Sam
Shepard Of st. Louis, John Will
Jams of Minneapolis, Leroy Doty
Of Kansas City and Penny Muir
ray of Omaha, came trudging
down the hillside of the 18th hole
at Forest Park. Penny of Omaha
vi as minus his neatly laundered
Sports shirt which he had been
boarding for three months; and
sweating like a glass of lemonade
in a Turkish bath. He had his
Niblick in one hand, while he
handkerchief his ~prespiring
brow with the other. He was
headed for one of those deep and
troublesome sandtraps bordering
the greens. l had just finished
clubbing a slice out of woods on
the 18th hole when / stumbled in
to Doty Of X. c. and Doty seys to
me in a confidential sort Of a way
......"Sey Dubber, Pardon the
INCLUSION, but isn't this Murray
guy an Indian or somethin'???"
well I don't know I seys, looks
like he mite of had indian hair
(Once)."
And Doty says:
"Well he's been in about Is
sand traps and every time he goes
into one he -Yells "Wahoo Wahoo"
and the last time he tried to get
out of n he cut the cover on his
ball and said me scalp 'em plenty
Now | understand about the scalp
ing but what in the heck does
he mean by Wahoo?
Now if you don't understand
these "yokes" come to the Regu-
lar club meetings and find out
what its all about.
. Chester Hodges, one Of our
players from away back, says he
will be out soon. Remember that
Russell Hodges McRae- Watson
combination. And Gene Murray
and John Anderson.
The two weeks Of rain did an
artistic job of doing the fairways
up in a brilliant green. .Sorta
reminds one of Minneapolis.
You know Dudley Wright; he
is as much a part of Omaha as
"The Southernly Breeze" on a
sultry summer night (South
Breeze, that's a tic joke Any
how, you will appreciate Dudley
more when you understand his
philosophy of Life. The Dub
Der was playing hockey from
work a few years ago and Dudley
insisted on caddying for him out
at Dundee. So once we gets out
there half Of the golfers we met
greeted Wright by name: so he
was feeling pretty well towards
himself by the time we got ar
ound to the 5th hole.
When we arrives at the 9TH, l
takes out me Brassie and Knocks
the ball sailing with a smack and
on and on and on the little white
pillet sails straight towards the
pin: then it takes TWO BOUNC-
Els and ROLLS into the cup "Kup-
lucket" for an "Ace".... Hole
None. So quite Naturally l
jumped five feet? straight up in
the air. Well anyway, l jumped
up, and yelled SO loud that a mot
orist over on the Dodge Super-Hi-
way lost control Of his car and
ran into a cornfield, killing two
rabbits and frightening a fairAcr-
es house cot. CYass Rabbits al
ways comes in twos or mores)
And Wright who had been mum
bling to himself about me not be-
ing such a "Hotshot" golfer. just
relit his cigar Ia King Eldgewood
which he bought at a ~firesale( for
the 9th time and sed, disinterest-
ed like.
Jaw that's pretty fair, but you
