9,63 49' At the eighth we see Bullet Bob Pennachio lying four in a dangerous water hole to the left of the green. Bullet Bob gets himself into these situations by hurrying his shots in order to post his Bill giving the Particulars of each round. With Bob are Mendy Mendelsohn who ioined the tournament late, but with experience, and who has shot amazingly well since George Joseph left the circuit. Bobby Sable, one of the tourney's most colorful competi- tors, plays the game without any golf clubs, bag or Zionitz caddie, his only equipment consists of natural ability. Sable had gone out earlier but lost his position when he took time out to acquire a new roommate. Round- ing out this foursome is Tommy Peoples, a conservative competitor with a strong, well-disciplined swing. Let's look now at the fifth, where Monster Hitchens seems to 'be leading the pack. Despite having slept through the second and fourth holes, the Monster seemed to come into his own on the fifth. This is a magnificent hole with the green resting at the Bottom of a giant Walnut. Eric Coates runs a close second on this hole as he lies three behind a small Snook-like hazard to the right of the fairway. Gentleman Jim Marsh has just shot a chevy three-iron through a fence and onto the green and now he turns to eloquently address the crowd. Too bad our microphones cannot pick him up. Wee Willie Ober is last on the fifth and has just driven his shot out of bounds through a motel window. The State Police are now helping Ober to retrieve his ball . . . forcibly!! The field is changing rapidly as on the tenth we see that Hammerin' Herb Hoffman of H-burg has iust bogied the hole. With him is Steve Nicholas, Ahepa Amateur Champion who shows great promise .

, I I I I i I I I Greenskeeper Dodd feels confident that the entrants will find the greens iust as difficult as the rough. Needless to say, the crowd is tense and after those four drives we can sense the keenness of the competition. Entry after entry passes the 'registration desk and moves to the first tee. Drive after drive signals the commence- ment of a long, difficult ordeal for each entrant. From our vantage point we can see that, of all things, trouble has arisen, not on the golf course, but near the vending machines which have been strategically located for convenience of the golfers. It seems as though Walk- a-Mile Betty has lost thirty-five cents in one of the ma- chines and has sworn that he will invest only in OP's from now on. It looks like Mayor Willy Brandt and Peanut Bittle have been forced to apply half-nelsons on Betty to help him shakily continue with the match with the knowledge that he can never lose on OP's, though they may not always be available. As the tournament progresses we shall switch to various points on this hazardous Dickinson Country Club Course, but right now Champagne Tony Moses is ap- proaching the first tee. Moses uses a heavier driver than most and believes that constant practice is the answer to success. Playing with Moses are E.B. Maxwell II, one of the games coolest competitorsg Dr. Carey Trout, a pro- fessional in his own right with the ability to diagnose each shot, and Mel the kid Dildine - WAIT! Dildine has not shown up at the tee and we understand that they've sent a search party out for him. Ober will fill in for Dildine - Ober???

Wait! . . . Nicholas has iust passed out, his Caddie, Torcia, is calmly attending to him. l think he will be able to continue. Joe Kleinfelter has stopped play mo- mentarily to ask Charlie Memolo, the fourth member, a question. The two of them are talking quite rapidly, but neither seems to be listening to the other. Switching back to the clubhouse, we find Mel Dildine has been located, asleep on a locker-room bench. Now teeing-off with Dildine are other late arrivals -- Tom Boettger, just back from the Villanova Classics and Tiny Tim McAuliffe, dressed in a bright yellow shirt, con- trasted by his flamboyant red ascot. Following close be- hind is another late starter, Ben Henszy, the well-known State College architect, who says he plays golf only when he can't find interesting girls to date. The foursome is rounded out by Bonnie Menaker, two-time North Carolina Open Champion, now taking a tour of the Dickinson course. Back at the eleventh, we spot Rags Hallgren in the rough, peering at the pin through a pair of binoculars. He seems to be pointing past the green to a nudist colony located iust next to Dickinson's eleventh hole. Fearless Fred Novinger, fearing that one of the golfers might be attacked by a wild-eyed spectator, has insisted that all golfers take out insurance with his company for self- protection. Fred seems to be making a MOCKery out of the entire match. One of the few golfers using a motor- ized caddie is Wild Bill Bolton. It is a beautifully adorned Buick Rollmaster but it looks like it ran out of gas right in the middle of the thirteenth fairway - the famous Curtilage dogleg. This is one of the few three- somes on the course today. Sidney Nicoll, who was to
