Fairway Notebook: Her Second Hole-in-One

Hole-In-One: Judy Kullberg, a member at Beacon Ridge, recorded a hole-in-one on May 24 while playing in the North Carolina Women’s Golf Association – Pennies per Stroke Tournament. She used her 13-wood on the 101-yard 7th hole. Her witnesses were Mary Snead and Janice Sargert. This was Judy’s second hole-in-one.

Pinehurst: The Women’s Golf Association played a member/member tournament on May 12, 19 and 26 on courses No. 5, No. 4 and No. 6. The format was a round robin/match point with each team playing all three 18-hole rounds, and scoring was one point for a win, one-half point for a tie. All ties were determined by a simple putt-off. Each flight had four teams that were determined by combining the partner’s USGA May 1 index. The results:

The Posterity Project: Chucky Jack's A-Comin'...

"Hero of King's Mountain -- one of the first settlers to push down the green valleys to the west -- member of the Continental Congress -- founder of the Lost State of Franklin -- first governor of Tennessee -- one of the truly great American patriots... JOHN SEVIER!... called by the Indians CHUCKY JACK from his pioneer home on the Nolichucky River. Now this giant figure comes to life in a Hills Theatre at Gatlinburg in the cool shadows of the Great Smokies. Sixteen memorable scenes trace the career of this eminent statesman whose character and leadership at a crucial moment molded the very foundations of American democracy. Authentic Colonial costumes, exciting incidents, colorful dances, a magnificent musical score composed by Jack Frederick Kilpatrick... CHUCKY JACK is an experience you will always remember." The above quote is from a 1956 ticket order form which described the outdoor drama, Chucky Jack: The Story of Tennessee , produced by Kermit Hunter. According to Barksdale, " Chucky Jack played to large audiences in Gatlinburg's 2,501-seat Hunter Hills Theatre... For the cost of the $1.50 ticket, one could ride the trackless sightseeing train called the "Chucky Jack Special," up to the outdoor amphitheater and witness the story of 'a man who braved the wilderness of long ago to establish a new social order, to give opportunity and scope to the people around him, to produce in the western wilderness a better way of life.' Chucky Jack stood as the theatrical embodiment of the mythology of John Sevier and the state of Franklin." I find this particular piece of historical mythology fascinating. It took place during the mid-1950s, at the height of the " Red Scare " during the Cold War with the former Soviet Union. America was in the midst of a period of strong Anti-Communism that permeated our culture at that time. By 1957, Nikita Khrushchev consolidated his power as Soviet leader, and Sputnik sent the first man-made signals from outer space, sending a chill down America's collective spine. For Tennesseans, John Sevier's story -- embellished as it may have been -- provided comfort and inspiration during these uncertain times. It was just one local reminder of American grit, determination, and patriotism, set to song and dance, and meant to soothe the concerns of a worried nation. I would have loved to have been present during one of these productions.
