"Zach Bloomer stopped along in and took it," explained Miss Tamson Black, the postmaster's sister-in-law. "I told him I presumed likely you'd be here after it yourself pretty soon, but it didn't make no difference.
One day some of the fellows at The Retreat got talking golf to him " "The Retreat? Good Lord! He doesn't belong to The Retreat, does he?" "Yes; been a member for years. Well, they got him to agree to try it. Jim Tamson, the pro he's supposed to be the best instructor in America was there then.
