That bothered daddy so much that he sold both sets of clubs and they never played again. They used to go to Pinehurst on Sunday afternoons, buy a basket of practice balls and practice hitting. If you were good enough to hit a ball and break out a light bulb set up far out on the course, you would win a prize. Mama came home with a new percolator. All this was in the mid to late 1950's.Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-63425721231150010612015-06-26T11:54:54.415-07:002015-06-26T11:54:54.415-07:00sounds like retirement is going well for you. sounds like retirement is going well for you. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-20836850030199774812015-06-26T04:17:36.224-07:002015-06-26T04:17:36.224-07:00PS
