The newspapers had a field day, going all-out in their vilification of the Yansis. The high-speed draft began to take men of military age and presently you noticed it on the course, older men making up a greater percentage of the players.

In the midst of all this the sports pages carried one bit of news that had nothing to do with the threatened conflict. The old Southview course, twenty miles down the trunkway from Yellow Silence, was being renovated and scheduled to reopen as a private links under the new name of Tranquillity Heights. Funny name for a course I thought. And then did a double take when I read the name of the promoter—Joseph Forbes.

A few days later I drove over to give the place the once-over. I had expected temporary greens, winter rules and hazards in the process of construction. Instead I found one of the most beautifully laid-out courses I had ever seen: the greens composed of the new magnetic silver-bent; the water-hazard a mirror-like lake that sparkled in the sunlight and fairways tailored to perfection.

There were lattice bridges over picturesque streams, robotic caddies waiting at the first tee and an inviting plastic and glass clubhouse with an automatic ramp leading up from the playing level. A tremendous amount of work had been put on the course and it seemed incredible that it could have been completed in so short a time.

My presence was spotted. The door to the clubhouse opened and Forbes came down the ramp to meet me.
