 One of the golfers in the Coun- try Club of Waterbury tourna- ment yesterday, registered one of the shortest drives in golf his tory; certainly less than SIX INCHES. He had been ''slicing" the ball most of the afternoon, so decided to set his arms and hands So that the ball would curve to the left, as he is right-handed hit ter. Getting his elbows in very close to his body, to be sure he would hit from the inside out" and cause a hook" he took a mighty swing at the ball, almost missed it completely, but just touched 1t with his club enough to tumble the ball off the little wooden tee. Under the rules of golf, he had made one stroke and that constituted his drive or tee shot; so he had to call his caddy, some POO yards away, so that. he could play his second shot from the grass on the tee, less than six inches from where he started his drive. Yea, verify, golf is an 'umblin game.
