Much fuss was recently made ever
a drive of a golf ball made by Walter
Fairbanks, the Denver veteran, who
got l.aoo yards to the tee shot when
his ball hit an ice-covered pond and
kept a-goinc under the newly added
impetus. Now comes Vernon Oood
win. of the Los Angeles Country Club,
with a claim for a lone drive that
makes Walter's shot shrink to the rl;,ss
of a two-inch putt. Vernon sliced a
ball off the third lee at the Los An
geles links and the rubber core landed
in a motor truck traveling toward
Santa Monica. And. naively urges
Vernon:
"On the theory that the length of
a drive is measured from thf ic<. t,,
a point where it comes to complete
rest. I drove mine from the club to
Santa Monica, a distance of nine miles"
