Dear Doctor:

The Foremaster Driver must be jinxed - first, the head
is broken while in your possession - and then the shaft is broken
while in ours!

The club came in this morning, and while being sent from
our receiving department on the fourth floor down to the golf
department for inspection, the club got caught in the door of the
dummy elevator and the shaft was broken in two.

This means that now we have a broken head, a broken shaft,
and as there isn't very much either one of us can do with only
the grip, we arereplecing the club. This is being sent to you
without charge today, and we hope it will look so good and feel
so good thet you will appreciate that when it comes to making
golf clubs, my good friend K. Smith takes the runner-up position.

The nature of the break on the head shows that the club has
been thrown or whemmed down on the ground rather violently - the
nature of the break shows that it was caused from a blow on the back
part of the club rather than on the face, so it isn't likely that
contact with a golf ball caused the break. Can it be that Bobby has
a temper something like the one his Uncle Pete used to have on the
baseball field?

Very cordi yours ,

Les RK. Freeburg
