HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1956-07-12, Page 4The TlmwAdveeal*# July 12, 1956 SPORTS By Pon "Boom Boom" pravott It was a warm and sunny afternoon some weeks ago when HAROLD KELSON, manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, his son DOUG, and BOB DINNEY came trudging up to to the ninth tee at the Oakwood Golf Course at Grand Bend. Harold, who hasn’t played much golf this season yanked an iron from his golf bag and hit a beautiful golf shot that split the narrow fairway in two and car­ ried straight for the waving flag 207 yards away on the ninth green. After Doug Kelson and Bob Dinney had teed off, young Doug was anxious to see how close his father had hit his ball to the pin? Everyone in the threesome knew that the golf ball would be on the green and should be close to the cup. As the trio left the tee and walked towards the last green of the out going nine, tension was naturally mounting. Doug hurriedly scampered up’ and down the few imall hills that stood in his way until he could finally see the green clearly from a bank where he was stand­ ing. Much to Doug’s astonishment he saw the ball leaning up against the flag pole and screamed. “Hole in one Dad! Look a hole in one!” Mr. Kelson and Bob came on the run at the pleas of Doug and sure enough, there was a ball caught between the flag pole and the edge of the cup. As the three approached the flag to get the ball, much to Kelson senior’s amazement he spotted an­ other little white ball a few feet from the pin in the shade. When the balls were checked it was found th'at some culprit had placed a ball next to the pin. Harold still had a seven-foot putt to sink. What a letdown after a big buildup. Did this ever happen to you? ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ * AROUND THE HORN ... A big question in the world of sport is who are the players of the de­ cade? .. . Here’s three of the more prominent in the running , . .
