Local optometrist Dr. Virgil McCleary was the goat literally in a recent unplanned outing at Rozella Ford Golf Club.

Seems Doc has a goat grazing in the back yard of his Ford Lane home for a reason which must border on the occult ... when it got away and quickly galloped toward brighter green (i.e. golf course). Ever alert, Doc hopped on his garden tractor and gave chase, but ole' Billy was a bit too much for him. It wasn't until the good doctor collared a few passing foursomes for assistance that he managed to collar the goat.
