Bobby Joaoa, considered without a
peer as a golfer, has been playing the
game 20 years. It was the first time he
ever turned the trick.
That will give you some idea of how
difficult a teak it la to kole out in one.
Yet n lot of duffers hove done it.
While perfect play is necessary to
perform a remarkable feat in any eport,
the element of luck ia likewise a most
important factor.

haa laid a hundred ehets within a few
inches ef the cap, bat it took 20 yean
of ptoy before he get what might be call-

playing the short holee that often robe
a golfer of a good chance to sink the
bell ta oae.
Regardless of the greatness of the
