	GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - A teen-ager who slammed his golf 
	club against a bench in frustration over a bad shot was killed 
	when the club's sharp, broken shaft snapped back and pierced his 
	heart, authorities said.
	    Jeremy T. Brenno, 16, of Gloversville was playing golf with 
	some friends at the Kingsboro Golf Club on Saturday afternoon 
	when he hit the bench with is three-wood at the sixth hole, Fulton 
	County Sheriff's deputies said Sunday.
	    The broken shaft struck him in the chest.  He was pronounced 
	dead at a hospital about three hours later.
	    Brenno would have been a senior at Gloversville High School.  
	Gloversville is about 40 miles northwest of Albany.
    

    	Remember this next time you get pissed and feel like letting a
    "whirlybird" fly.  It could have been worse...if he had killed someone
    else!!

	A few weeks ago while playing in an early-morning league at Juniper
	Hill in Northboro, I was nearly hit with a putter someone threw
	from the 8th green.  I was walking from the 9th tee down to my bag,
	and the putter missed me by less than ten feet...came through some
	trees.

	There are some sick people out there.

    Hey Joe,
    
     You seen my putter?
