The only other man to beat par was Ros-
sire of the SaegkM Club. To Rossirc's indy
ing credit it must be said that this was not his
fault. The Saegkill Club returned him rated
at 8 and IL my committee had accepted that
rating his net score would have been ~. or
one over par, This Is perhaps somew hat Of
n Joke on us handicappers. The fact il that
the Saegkill men were rated this year for tn e
FIRST time. and when my committee found
that the playing length OF the eighteen holes
at this club is only 3.798 yards We thought
that a man rated 3 on a par 83 would prob
ably get at least . strokes more on a par n.
and accordingly We rated all the Saegkill
PLAYERS from to , strokes UP.
There were seventy-nine starters in the
h andicap and sixty-two cards returned. A
perfect finish theoretically would have been

links. But it is not strange that once in a
scratch man sometimes beats par. Travis
has beaten the par of Garden City by 4 strokes.
