Golf is an unusual game!
Golf is a fascinating game!
It's something different from
any other sport in the world.
And. my friends, believe it or
not about 99 percent of it lies
within a five to five and a half
inch period of your body.
That's the portion between
your ears.
It is a game played by
youngsters anywhere from
six to 90 and a 100. It’s played
by guys and gals, who just
like a magnet seemed to be
drawn toward it. The gist of
the column this week will be
centered on one such person.
And, as far as anyone in this
area who knows him is
concerned he is a character
but a fine one I must say.
His name is Jimmy B.
Hardy and please don’t leave
out the “B” Jimmy received
his first taste of actual
competition last week when
he led a group of Jackson
golfers in a two-way match
against a group from Griffin
at the Cabin Creek Golf
Course. There were 56 in all,
27 from Jackson and 29 from
Griffin and guess who
brought home the bacon.
You guessed it, Jimmy B in
his first venture captured the
laurels and took first place in
all the Third Flight with a
keen 38. And as usual the rest
of the Flights, four in all,
went this way as far as the
Jackson golfers were con
cerned.
Bill Nelson took first place
in the Championship Flight
and right on his heels in
second place was Gay
McMichael. In the First
Flight Allen Byars was the
top man with Tony Grant
taking second place. That
match constituted a playoff,
between the two.
In the Second Flight Cotton
Vaughn took second place
and Buster Duke finished
third. Oh, yes, Allen Byars
also won a dozen Top Flight
Golf Balls for the closest to
the pin on number four.
The other prizes consisted
of $30.00 for first place; $20.00
for second place and SIO.OO
for third place. Therefore of
the 13 possible prizes
Jackson came home with
eight of them. That, is the
way the ball bounces at
times.
In last week’s issue of the
paper I stated it would be a
long time before anyone
duplicated the feat of Gay
McMichael by driving num
ber nine green off the tee.
Well, my friends, it didn’t
take too long and guess who
was the second one to do it,
you guessed it, Gay McMi
chael. He did it again this
week end.
This past week I was
reprimanded by Billy Duke
for not including him in the
list of long ball hitters. Billy
proved his worth this past
week end when he dropped
one alongside a player’s ball
on number one green as the
group ahead was preparing
to putt. I apologize Billy.
Speaking of the Dukes.
Here's an unusual situation
that took place last week at
Deer Trail. When they get up
what they call their Dog
Fights they try to categorize
the players into their
respective capabilities
(sometimes they actually
do). The names are placed in
a hat and withdrawn by
teams. One of the teams
consisted of Buster Duke,
Harold Duke, A1 Duke and
Bill Sasser. I think that
combination won too.
HOMEMAKERS
You can save money and
energy with your electric
dishwasher, as well as time, if
you turn the dial to off after
the machine finishes washing
and then let the dishes dry by
themselves.

To save time while vacuum
ing, get a long extension cord
and plug it into a centrally
located socket, instead of
having to stop, stoop, plug
and replug the vacuum
cleaner as you go.

Save the trouble of iroping
large tableciotheS by dampen
ing them through, wringing
them out slightly and pinning
them flat to a rug through a
large sheet. Cover with
another sheet to keep it
clean.
