It Isn't every golfer on tht Rogue Valley golf Course who csn tee off on tht 13th, pity billiards on tht rebounding ribs of a cow, and score a birdie. This It the boast of Ralph Bardwell, who did Just that In the first rounds of the Diamond Jubilee golf tournament Sunday. Bardwell, whose score was ap proaching the century mark as he nesred the 13th green, with a fence marking the bounds on the right side of the fairway, clouted a shot over the dividing line. It plumped fairly against the sleek side of his friend cow, grazing placidly In her own territory, and bounced In a graceful curve bsck onto the fair way.
