NEXT TOURNEY At BLUE MOUND
Milwaukee Club Gets Big Meeting
After Madison Puts up a Strong
Plea-Guy E. Gregg Named as
Secretary of the Association.

William L. Yule of Kenosha, who
has gained the title Of ''Tather Of the
Wisconsin Golf Association, on &C
count of his untiring efforts to make
the association successful organization
was elected president Of the organiza-
ton for his fourth consecutive term
at the annual business meeting Of the
association held at the Kenosha
Country club on Friday evening. Guy
f. Gregg of Milwaukee, one Of the
leading members of the Blue Mound
club was named as secretary after the
directors had voted to hold the 1912
tournament at the Blue Mound club.
The meeting was one of the most
harmonious ever held by the organiza-
tion and there was unanimous feel
ing shown that argues well for the
future of the association in Wisconsin.
Before the annual meeting adjourned
resolutions were passing thanking the
members Of the Kenosha club, Presi-
dent Yule and retiring Secretary C. D.
Barnes for the interest they had shown
in the state meeting and the splendid
hospitality that they had extended to
the visiting golfers.
There was an unexpected fight over
the entertainment Of the 1912 tourna-
ment. 1t had been expected that Blue
Mound would be the only club to ex-
tend an invitation to the golfers, but
Director f. M. Wooten of the Madison
club, brought most cordial invita-
ton from Madison. The only trouble
with the Madison club is the fact that
it has but a. nine hole course and it
was deemed all but impossible to han
die a tourney with hundred contest
cussion Director Wooten of Madison
yielded to Blue Mound and he made
the motion that the invitation Of Blue
Mound be accepted.
The members Of the Wisconsin asso-
citation went ON record as opposed to
the playing of stymies in all matches
and resolutions were passed asking
that the Western Golf association de-
mand the elimination of the stymie
rule in the future. 1t was held that
the saymie is unfair to both players
and not in any way good sportsman
ship.
The state champion golfers in the
future are to be made members of
every club in the state association as
Q resolution was passed asking the
directors Of the local clubs to extend
this courtesies to the champions. The
resolution was adopted by unanimous
vote and in the future the champions
will have the right to play over any
course in the state without being an
intruder.
The Lake Side club of Manitowoc,
was formally elected to membership
in the association and all OF, the form
er clubs we're continued on the list.
The report of the treasurer showed
that the tournament at Kenosha had
been financial success and the treas
urer viii turn over to the new board
of directors small balance. This fact
was exceedingly pleasing to the mem
bers of the board Of directors of the
association.
