ATLANTA - "Golf means fellowship," Bobby Jones told a banquet of Georgia's elite yesterday. "It bridges the gap of generations. It is the only game I know where a father and his son may meet on exactly an equal basis; where the good player and the duffer may compete in the keenest terms."
Mr. Jones, the American amateur and British Open titleholder was asked to speak on what the game meant to him.
"Once you go out on the course with a man and play the game with him, you know him," he said.

BETTER BURGERS
Instead of topping a hamburger with iceberg lettuce, try spinach for a quick boost of folate and vitamins A and C. After all, a study by the University of Arkansas found that few taste testers noticed the difference.
PEANUT BUTTER ALERT
Eating peanut butter straight from the spoon can cause both children and adults to choke. So don't do it.
