Several amateur golfers from Arkansas were qualified to play in a national tournament of some significance in Lynn, Kentucky, and Arkansas Demozet sports editor Jay Krip offered Rock the assignment.
Rock accepted, though he knew the time commitment required would conflict with his job at the Super Family Dollar Store in Levy. Also, he hadn't heard of Lynn. Because of Kentucky's proximity to Arkansas, Lynn's location was much more than incidental. It could take anywhere from five to twelve hours to drive to a particular town in Kentucky. Rock and Jay studied a map of the state for several minutes before they found Lynn not far from Bowling Green, eight or nine hours from Little Rock.
Rock's boss at the dollar store agreed to let Rock take a few days off.
