...long, low ball that hit the fairway, kicked sharply to one side, stopped square at the foot of a dead tree. If Collett could have blown the tree away she would have had as good a chance as Higbie of getting her next shot on the green. She chipped out, rolled her third well up and laid her fourth dead.

So we went to the dress rehearsal last night with a delicately balanced chip on our shoulder.
