Excerpt from Golf in North Carolina
T was Ralph Kennedy of New York City, the Peripatetic Golfer, who said to me not long ago: Ive played sixty - four different golf courses in North Carolina, and for variety, class, condition and climatic suitability at all seasons, I'm sure no other State in the Union has anything on the assortment.
Mr. Kennedy really ought to know something about that. He is called the Peripatetic Golfer because he has played more different golf courses than any other golfer in this world. His record to this writing is 0 different courses, mind you; each round of play duly certified on its own score card, and the score cards reposing in a safety deposit box in Mr. Kennedy's bank, for Mr. Kennedy, a veteran businessman, is a business like hobbyist also, and he knows he's got a world record by the tail.
