Dear Phogs

Congratulations on your becoming a member of the
hole-in-one club. A friend of mine who was talking to Mr. Jones
who was a member of your foursome brings me the information
that your tee shot was straight and true and from the moment
the ball left your club-head there never was any doubt about
where it was going to land. There is a wonderful feeling in
making a hole-in-one, especially the first time, but after you
have made several one becomes blase and takes the event as a
matter of course. I can speak rather intelligently on this
subject as I have made several holesin-one's. The fact is that
it has happened to me twicee Here's hoping that it will not
be too long before you make your second hole-in-one but that
the next time you will hook your tee shot instead of slicing ite

Now to change the subject and get a word or two in
about basketball. We do have the 15th and 16th of Dec. open
and we would like to play again in Convention Hall. We are
reluctant to enter the Oklahoma City Tournament because we are
not certain it would be permissible with our present Big Six
rules.

I read in the paper that you had a very fine banquet
for Mr. Quigley a short time ago and that Quig paid you a very
fine compliment. May I add that I think it was a much deserved
comp limente

Very cordially yours,

Me Fe Ahearn, Director
