LU LU TEMPLE COUNTRY .
CLUB MEMBERS MEET
IN BIG DINNER MATCH
w. Ross Walton and His Team Triumph Over D. H.
Simmerman Club Champion, and 25 Other Players
in Interesting Match
'By WILLIAM III. EVANS

1NtiE man who wrote the "Stein Song"
L particularly that portion of 1t. For
II always fair weather when good fel-
lows get together" must have been a
Shriner. for that is the impression you
get of the annual dinner matches which
Lu 1.u Temple Country Club holds once
each year to celebrate the golf season
Good fellowship and the finest sort of
club spirit marked the annual dinner
last night, when nearly 200 members
of the club sat down to dinner and the
losers were as cheerful about 1t as If
they were not paying for the dinners
of the successful team.
1t seems only a few years ago that
the club was organized through the
good offices of some of the live-wire
members. AT that time there was
scarcely man in the club who had ever
played golf or who knew the difference
between niblick and stymie. Those
we're the days when the members were
wont to run out to the club and watch
the others play the game that seemed
so futile and foolish. And when one
of the members brought a real player
there the beginners used to desert the
game to follow him around the course
and marvel at the great distances he
got from the tee.
Encouraged the Members
Like other clubs Lu Lu started with a
very easy course, with wide fairways
where the players could pull and slice at
will, with few, II any, traps to discourage
the beginners In fact, every inducement
was offered to the beginners to get out
| on the course and learn the game. But
| Of Ia OF
| long, for once a man steps out on a tee
! and hits a ball he Is gone beyond re-
demption and from that time on he may
! be put down a golf fanatic whose case
| is hopeless and for whom there is no
cure, and gradually the course was
stiffened.
Iu Lu is still an easy course. but when
| the war Is over there will arise a new
eighteen-hole course planned by the best
of golf course architects, Donald Ross.
and nothing more need be said. The
eighteen-hole course that Is to be will
be one of the best that Donald has ever
laid out and he never built a poor or
| mediocre course in his life. And there
will be a new, big, commodious club
| house, for the club has long outgrown
| its present quarters and cannot begin to
accommodate the present membership.
Once year the club selects two teams.
