Satisfaction at last

Country kids trounce big city bullies,
grudge settled, cash payments made

The earth is back in balance, order has been restored, wrongs have been righted, there is justice.

Yesterday three Rolfsrud boys from a small town in rural Minnesota defeated three big city Jaspers in a fair fight.

The agonizing four-hour shootout occurred at The Ranch north of Tucson in a battle spread out over an 18-hole course in a driving windstorm. The good guys won.

The dispute began after a trio of local pensioners had systematically flim-flammed innocent visitors fleeing sleet and snow in Minnesota. Using convoluted "local rules" these connivers had been able to fleece undeserved cash settlements from unsuspecting players.

Yesterday, the newly-educated Rolfsruds were represented by their CPA, Virgil Rolfsrud, who was placed in the same cart with local wagermeister Dick Robertson to be sure there was no funny business.
After the game, it took almost an hour to complete the calculations, but when they were done, the facts were undeniable: Rolfsruds won.

Cash payments were made immediately. Please enjoy the attached photographs of Dick Krueger and Dick Robertson paying up. These are possibly the only existing records of their kind. Incidentally, you will not see Doug MacKenzie, the third member of The Defeated, paying up. He was apparently busy at the driving range, right, working things out.

MacKenzie actually did shoot a remarkable round in a losing cause. And he did receive $1 from Stan Rolfsrud by way of a fine and apology for Stan's persistent use of French idiom on holes 1, 3, 8, 9, 16, 17 and 18 as well as on adjacent cartpaths.
