Driver Misses Turn Takes Short Cut on Urbana Golf Course

May 1, 1935 from the Urbana Courier-Herald

They're turning the fairways at the Urbana country club into a race track. Traveling north on Broadway at an increasing rate of speed, an automobile carrying a party of four Saturday night came io the turn with the driver unaware of its existence. He veered to the right, the car leaped a two foot ditch and continuing on between two telephone poles stationed so closely together a truck could not get through. The car broke off a guy wire leading to the pole, bounded on across No. 5 fairway and was brought to a halt in front of the club house. "No use taking the long way around." spoke the driver as he and the other shaken but, uninjured occupants stepped out of the car.
