The Chico Enterprise-Record
CHICO, Calif. — When Lynn Cornie's driver slipped from his hands and wound up on a neighbor's roof as he practiced for a round of golf Monday, the last thing his wife wanted was for her husband to climb up and get it.
After Cornie left for his game, minus his driver, Dorothy Cornie and her neighbor, Sandra Green, conferred on the problem and decided to call the Chico Fire Department.
A crew from Station 4 arrived and a firefighter used a ladder to scramble up to the roof and retrieve the club, which appeared undamaged.
When she told her husband about it, Cornie said he was a little disgusted at first, but then accepted that he probably shouldn't be climbing onto a tile roof.
Lynn Cornie is almost 92. His wife is 90.
"He loves to play golf, but he mostly just practices," Dorothy Cornie said.
She recalled that the Chico Fire Department has helped them out before by changing batteries in smoke detectors mounted high on a vaulted ceiling.
