Nearly all the Players of the Club
Take Part in Choice Score Handicap
Match and Changes Made in Arrange
ment of Course Add to Pleasure.

tory of the organization Tuesday and
the prospects are bright for the most
successful season ever enjoyed by the
club. Nearly every member of the club
visited the club house some time during
the day and the links were covered with
players from early morning until it
was too dark to see the flying balls
All of the golfers were anxious to see
how the changes made in the course
were going to affect their game and
most of them acquired some valuable
knowledge Of how not to keep out of
trouble before the day was over.
1t was the unanimous opinion that
the numerous hazards and bunkers,
traps and pits and the new arrange
ments Of the tees and holes would add
much to the pleasures of the game and
that by the changes made the Kenosha
course had been changed from only an
ordinarily difficult course to one of the
sportiest III the state, if not in the
country. Bad shots are now heavily
penalized and it requires nearly perfect
golf to play round on these links
without getting into some kind of
trouble.
The Kenosha players are anticipating
much JOY this summer in entertaining
visiting golfers from other clubs who
have made record scores on these links
under the old arrangement of the
course and it is expected that. the
crack players who have heretofore re-
garded the local course as fairly easy
are going to modify their views on their
next visit to the club. The state tour
nament this year will also be a totally
different proposition for the Wisconsin
golfers from what it was the two previ-
Gus years it met in Kenosha.
Nearly every man and boy in the
club was entered for the choice score
handicap match which marked the
opening of the regular playing season
at the club and many of the players
made record scores for an opening
event.
The match was won by j. r. Kimball
with net score of 66 and a handicap
of II strokes. The record scores of
the day were turned in by r. P. Cav
anagh who put up a remarkable game
In both morning and afternoon rounds.
Cavanagh is in form early this year
and his cards Of 70 in the morning
and 70 in the afternoon for the first
match Of the year surprised the crack
players of the club. When the days
records were being gone over at the
18th hole it was the unanimous opinion
that Cavanagh S 70 would stand as the
amateur mark for the course until late
in the season.
The club was decidedly popular all
day and many of the ladies Of the club
spent the entire day at the club house.
Both luncheon and dinner were served
at the club and an informal dancing
party for which Fitzgerald orchestra
Of Chicago furnished the music was Civ
en- in the evening to celebrate the open
ing of the season. The successful
opening indicates that the club will be
more popular than ever with the mem
bels this season and that the social life
of the summer will center there.
Everything that the officers and direc-
tors Of the club could think Of that
could add to the comfort or pleasure
of the members has been done in the
buildings and grounds and the changes
made were pronounced perfect by the
members, many of whom visited the
club for the first time Tuesday. The
best scores made in the handicap match
during the day follow:
