Slows Down Only on Curves
Bare-chested J. Smith Ferebee apparently is pretty much in a hurry as he grabs a club from Art Caschetta, his caddie, at Lakeside Golf club, Hollywood. The rush is brought on by the fact that Ferebee, wealthy Chicago broker, has wagered close to $100,000 that he can play 600 holes of golf from coast to coast in four days.
