GOLFERS ARE COMING
Star Boosters of the Game to
Be Here Thursday; State
Association Meeting
STATE TOURNEY PLANS READY

kenosha is going to be the stamping
ground for lot of the old war horses
who follow the ancient and honorable
game OF golf in Wisconsin on Thurs
day when the board of directors and
officials of the Wisconsin State Golf
association will meet at the Kenosha
Country club to complete the prelimin-
airy arrangements for the annual tour
nament OF the Wisconsin association.
The dates for the tournament have
finally been set as August 2, 8, 4, and
5 and the program for the various
events to be pulled off in connection
with the state meeting will be made
out at the meeting of the officials on
Thursday. President w. L. Yule ex-
poets that every member of the board
will be here and take part in the in
formal tournament played in the af
ternoon and remain for the meeting to
be held following the tournament. The
tourney should prove an interesting one
as some OF the strongest golfers in the
state are members of the board of d.
rectors of the state association. The
visit on Thursday will give the mem
bers of the other clubs their first
chance TO play over the new Kenosha
links and they will find many changes
in the course. "Bob' Simpson, the
Kenosha club professional, who has
played on nearly every golf course in
the United States, declares that the
Kenosha course will offer just as much
excitement as any of them. Since last
fall the entire course has been changed
by the erection Of bunkers, sand pits
and mounds until there is trouble of
every artificial nature known to the
golf links expert. Simpson declares
that the links are just right and that
any man who can play par golf should
be able to make record on them, but
he insists that par golf is necessary to
get any championship scores.
President YuleA has been at work on
the program and he hopes to have it
whipped into shape by Thursday and
there is no doubt but that it will re-
ceive the sanction of the members of
the board of directors. The opening
day will be the contest for the Yule
trophy and it is expected that dozen
teams representing the different clubs
in the state will fight for it. Lacrosse
now holds the trophy and the same team
that won it on it's own links last year
will be at Kenosha to defend it this
year. Kenosha and Milwaukee clubs
arc counted ON as the strongest oppon-
ents of Lacrosse for the possession of
the trophy, but it is declared that Fond
du Lac is training team that will give
any five golfers in the state hard
run for the medals.
The qualifying round for the state
championship will be set for Thursday
morning and from that time ON there
will be some match open to every golfer
who comes to Kenosha The trophies
this year will be the most handsome
ever offered at any state tournament
and in addition to the trophies offered
by the state association it is certain
that prominent golfers of Kenosha will
offer cups which will be sought as Gag
erly as the regular trophies of the as
ISOLATION. The committee of the Keno
sha club in charge of the state meeting
have already started work to plan for
the entertainment and an effort will
pecially interesting for the ladies.
There will BE two or three matches
arranged for women golfers in which
handsome trophies will be offered and
there will be a lot of social events
which will add pleasure to the state
meet for them.

up the business of the state association
and act on any petitions for member
ship. The list of officers and directors
