Good at His Act

As YOU may know, Kirkwood
Is the trickster who makes de-
fenseless little golf balls do
wierd and mysterious things, an
act which through some miSun-
Outstanding between Joe and the
gentlemen who ran the Ryder
Cup competition, did not come
of al Plum Hollow.
II was too bad. too, that fans
who haven't seen the stunts
missed the chance. Joe's the best
at IL.
Old-timers like Hagen recall
that on one occasion Joe Gt was
Joe and Walter them had 10
climb a huge wire fence, play a
shot left handed and take a
taxicab all the way around the
course so he could continue his
round in the National Open
championship. That was before
gas rationing as we'll before the
Ryder Cup matches at Plum
Hollow.
II is a very ordinary thing for
Kirkwood to belt a full drive off
the face of a watch. The only
way ne popped UP that little
trick was by using the bugle Of
an African tribal chief for a tee.
