“Hello friends, this is DJ Bogey on KHLE 91.3. We’re broadcasting 24 hours a day from hole 13 at the Finch Golf Club.
“I just got off the phone with a listener. It appears that Tim Wright and his family just moved into town, and he wants to know why we broadcast from a golf course. I suggested he come out any time and play a round. We’ll interview him and find out why the Wright family made the wrong decision to move to our city. I’m just kidding, Timmy.
“We adopted the 13th hole—it’s one of 18 adopted holes out here on the golf course. We’ll play some tunes this morning, but we are also watching the first golfer of the day up at the 13th tee. As always, Billy Baker is out here, testing the greens. He works in the pro shop. Billy’s surveying the 321-yard par four. The hole is a straight shot, but there are bunkers and trees on both sides of the hole.
“I could get out my binoculars, but I can tell from here that Billy has decided to use the driver. From his history, we know that Billy does better with his five wood on this hole.
“You might have heard Billy yell shut up in the background there, so I will just lower my voice slightly. If you haven’t ventured down to the Finch Golf Club, you may be unaware that we have speakers, so you can hear everything happening on hole 13. The broadcast also plays in the pro shop, and of course, you can listen to us live and online at KHLE 91.3.
“Billy hits the shot and it goes far into the trees. Billy, we’ll give you a mulligan on that one. Still, it was better than his shot two days ago that fell about three feet in front of the tee.
“Billy wants to play that one as he’s getting in his golf cart. Man, he’s going pretty fast… He’s veered off the path and is jumping over the grass. Hey Billy, I have to cut that grass! He appears to be heading, oh no, he’s heading straight for us! Billy stop! Folks, I’m going to run. Hopefully, I can draw him away from our little radio studio. Billy!!! No!!!!”
