Vincent
thought about 1968 women's liberation protest of the Miss America
Beauty pageant held in Atlantic City, NJ as he set the "ladies'" tee
markers on #11.
During that highly publicized protest, objects of female oppression -- high heeled shoes, girdles, bras, curlers, tweezers -- were tossed into a Freedom Trash Can. Vincent
thought it it would have been a good idea if they had included yellow
ladies' tee markers as well. Vincent made up his mind and declared
passionately to no one in particular, as he stood alone on the #11
ladies' tee:
"I WILL LIBERATE THESE YELLOW LADIES TEE MARKERS, SYMBOLS OF FEMALE OPPRESSION, FROM THEIR FORWARD PLACEMENT CLOSEST TO THE HOLE AND MOVE THEM BEHIND THE BLACK TEES, FURTHEST FROM THE HOLE."
It was a nice thought. Vincent figured that members, including women, would squawk for sure so he just left it alone, went with the status quo and set the yellow tee markers on the forward tee.
However, the man couldn't oppress Vincent's mind. Vincent imagined a golf course in which there were no holes on the green because just getting on the green was good enough. Other greens would give players a choice of 10 holes or different diameters to shoot for. Yet still others would have hundreds of holes cut into them with the object being to stay out of the hole. Some greens would be just big holes. Other greens would be woods. Some water holes would literally be water holes.Vincent even pictured golf with no scoring or competition. And everyone would be speaking Esperanto, the constructed international auxiliary language.
Oh, what a beautiful world it would be.
