What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHailey Ostrom is doing thirty-one days of Halloween costumes, and golf is part of the schedule. Was there any rule against it?

  2. Tobias QuarrieNo rule on costumes. I read the whole book, Hank. Spikes, carts, a long section on sprinklers. Nothing about Scooby-Doo.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo is that a yes? She was allowed?

  4. Tobias QuarrieShe was allowed. I'll admit, off the record, I checked the bylaws twice, just in case glasses counted as equipment.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwice. And did they?

  6. Tobias QuarrieNot yet. My draft says, quote, a golfer shall be permitted to wear glasses, whether or not she needs them. Old Reliable helped me write it.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMr. Quarrie, you drafted an amendment about a costume. Did she ask you to?

  8. Tobias QuarrieNo, she did not. I think the club should make Velma a standing exception. Not the costume. Just the Velma.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou want it on the record.

  10. Tobias QuarrieTwenty years on that fairway, and the only mystery I ever solved was who leaves the divots. It was never Velma.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd did she replace hers?
