Drama On The Green: Tragedy--at least of the minor variety--struck here. The young lady's approach was on the green; the young man's was in the trap in the foreground. She putted to one foot from the pin. His chip was short and wide but she failed on her easy putt and he holed out, much to her chagrin. The picture was taken at the 12th hole of the Municipal Golf Course. In the background, behind the trees, is the Huron River.
