At the 400-yard first hole his drive w at over a fence into the race t After dropping a new ball he rasan the green in four wallops and took two putts, six strokes for a par 4 hole, Again, at the sixth, Seeley got into trouble when his ball fell in a deep depression. This mishap wound up the damage. The medal winner played the last nine holes in 36 strokes and his total of 79 pulled down the prizes, Johnny Ward, the old-time Giant, was going Strong until he hit the long fourteenth, then zip up went his score. Ward's drive got into a sand bunker—at least Johnny thought it was sand. He took a savage wallop and the club head went clear through the stuff without touching the ball Johnny did this three times until he discovered what he thought was sand was merely dirt and that the club didn't make any impression, Ward finally made the hole in eight shots— four more than was necessary.
