Show Mayor Gets Eagle BOUNTIFUL Mayor Elmer W. Barlow shot an Eagle on the last hole en route to a one-over-par 37 last Thursday morning at the Spring Meadows Golf Course in West Bountiful. IT WAS a 465-yard par-5 hole and Mayor Barlow got off one of the longest drives of his life. But then it happened he flubbed his second shot and fell about 70 yards short of the green. "I was very disappointed," the mayor said afterwards. after-wards. "1 wanted so badly to reach the green in two and get down with at least a birdie after hitting such a nice drive." ON HIS third shot, the mayor lofted the ball straight at the pin. It hit about three feet above the hole, rolled back and dropped in for his first Eagle and lowest score of his life. "I have always wanted to shoot par for a course," he said, "but even though I didn't quite do it this time, I still have a goal to shoot for." THE MAYOR is an avid golfer, playing the local links once or twice a week, grb |
