Secretary studdard of the Shawnee
| club turned in 81 on his card for
nine holes the other day. This is five
below DOGGY and only one above par
studdard's score was attested by
Frank Campbell. Fred Cooper and
and-anc the lawyer whose name is
not mentioned upon the advice of his
physician.
This from Phil Eastman, who is
playing his second season of golf: las
understand 1t, the second summer
Is the most serious with golf and
babies"
The Country club caddies have
adopted q great system OF making
money. 1t isn't quite Sunday school
etiquet, to be sure, but II Is a summer
vacation sport just the same. The
caddies who are better acquainted
with the players bet them on the
round that they won't make a certain
score. One caddy recently made so
cents eaddying and $1.2S betting his
player.
The longest clean cut drive on the
Shawnee course this year, according
to the fans. was made recently by
Pete Middleton. Pete Is a former cad
dy and coming golf state champion.
He drove from the tee on Long Tom
(No. 81 far beyond the tee box on No.
4 or a measured distance of s2s yards.
1t was nearly all carry. too. Middle
ton is still n youngster but has won
derful distance and accuracy in his
shots. With a little of the "old head
control Of energy in matches he would
set rapid pace for any golfer in
Kansas.
Fred cooper's famous hook finally
has reached out and grabbed a horse
shoe. On Shawnee not long ago
Coop hooked 400 yards to the ce-
ment- bridge near the well on No. g.
bounced back into the fairway and
rolled well up toward the green.
nif Felix is in his glory. Felix nat
urally drives a hard low bali-one OF
those drives that takes a sudden up
shoot as It disappears into the horizon
and then carries another hundred
! yards. The windy days OF the last few
! weeks have been fruit for Felix. The
y high flyer drivers have not been able
to stay in the fairway against his cen
terrified home runs.
Is Topeka golf mad these days OF
! is it golf glad?
Personal to Shawnee players: Last
season several members quit the sea-
J son with the club refreshment dealers
holding the sack for quite a deficit
due to unpaid bills. Don't allow the
Stawitz books to show a loss this year
! An oversight. OF course. but It hit
pretty hard just the same.
Is Arthur Bonebrake to leave To-
peka?
