KNOWLEDGE OF GOLF SAVED A MAN’S LIFE

Knowledge of golfing etiquette saved a man’s life, according to the Golfer’s Maga*zine. Two men who played golf In their odd moments were at work on a building—one on the roof, the other on the ground. The fellow on the roof had a huge wrench in his hands. It slipped and shot straight down for the coco of the party on the ground. ’Twas a tense moment. Every fraction of a seeond was important if the gent below was to be saved from the eager hands of the undertaker. Did the party on the roof yell, “Hey, look out!” or something equally bromidic? Not he! —He Just yelled, “Fore!” and the gent below ducked instantly—and in time.
