mighty good to me a couple of and thereby made one of the understatements of Anno Domini Dahlbender and Swift meeting in the second round of the 25th annual Southeastern Amateur golf championship drew to them selves virtually all of the gallery then treated it with every kind of golf in book The most heroic moment of the four hole extra session came on the 21st Dahlbender who had missed two foot birdie putts suc cessively on the 19th and 20th either one of which would have closed the books on Swift ap peared for the third time on the21st to have the match in hand He drove home a 25 foot birdie putt but Swift stroking from the fringe 10 feet away knocked it in for a half in birdies or Dahlbender the 22nd hole was a nightmare He sniped his tee shot to what proved a virtually unplayable lie in the thickets beneath the low hung limbs of a tree He at tempted a lefthand shot with his putter missed the ball entirely hacked at it again to bring it out only a dozen feet directly behind a seedling pine forcing as his fourth shot a safe play out into the fairway His fifth Mas still short and after a chip effort he conceded to Swift who was well on six feet away after two fine woods and a sharp 9 iron pitch It was Swift who defeated Dahl bender (in the third round) the only other time the MarchingMonster ever played here Swiftapparently lost little if any of thisgolfing sharpness
