race horses of the links. It is hit

time they leave the first tee until they
spread a handkerchief over the last
hole to find it in the dark.
Their record as a foursome is 45
holes in one afternoon. They proba-
bly, would have made nine more holes
if one of the players hadn't taken two
strokes in a sand trap.
There isn't a better foursome on the
Shawnee links. No choice among the
225 members could find four golfers
who could beat this quartet in a
match. AS a matter OF fact they

| shots of the Highland Park course will
enter the competition with golfers
from over the state. Shawnee sup
porters will place their bets on Pete"
Middleton. state champion.
Grass greens could have been oper-
sted successfully on Shawnee this year.
The summer rains have kept the grass
plots in fine shape but they have not
been used. That's the way with the
weather-you never can tell. Shaw
nee players who have been anxious
to become accurate in approach
pitches and backspin- -niblick
usages have looked longingly at the
circles of blue grass in the hope that
some afternoon the flags would be
seen flying over them. Groundkeeper
Flanders has been occupied, however,
with the care of the fast growing fair
ways The sand greens have been well
kept this season but they deprive the
player of the opportunities of real
close up golf. Until water is piped to
the Shawnee course there will be no
attempts to keep up the grass green's.
The grass is planted and is manicured
and massaged in preparation for that
glorious day in the future when the
cups are fringed with green instead of
oil.
Qualifying scores for the Country
clubs annual presidents cup began
this week. This is a handicap affair
and any member of the club is in the
running. 1t is one of the several sea-
son affairs that places the dub on a
par with the scratch. The cup re-
mains in the clubhouse until a player
wins tournament three years in sue
cession. Several names are engraved
on its rounded surface but to date 1t
never has left the clubhouse. The
low 80 players are qualified for the
tournament.
Fred Cooper is the midsummer
champion of the Shawnee club.
He won this honor after wading
thru four brackets of top notch play
eFS and clinching the finals with the
defeat of Monte Kistler.
Cooper won from Barnum, Ander-
son, Middleton and Kistler.
Kistler went to the semi-finals after
defeating Carruth, Studdard and Bal
ley.
Cooper's most sensational victory was
the 1 up match from Pete" Middle
ton. state champion. This game was
one of the sweetest of the season at
Shawnee.
Fred Cooper has played only five
seasons. He was one OF the charter
members of Shawnee and has been
consistent player since the day the
club was first laid out by Bob Fuller
ton and No. 1, the setting SUM- hole
was located where No. 9 tee now
stands.

Mrs: Kurtz Kellam, the crack wo-
man golfer of the Country club, has
reached a point in her game that may
well be envied by all women players.
She is now accepted as a regular
member of hard fought foursomes and
may be seen any day on the links
taking her turn on the tee with the
clubs best shots.
Free Fair PhiP' Eastman not only
is president but the great white
weigh" of the Shawnee club.
Playing his third season of golf, Phil
shoots the straightest game of anyone
on the links. His brassy and jigger
results are as true\as die. He doesn't
knock his ball into the bleachers but
he sends it true and trim. The rough
has no terrors for him. He is the best
Texas Lacquer hitter in Kansas.
Eastman has made Shawnee an ex-
cellent president. Altho he favors ne
cessary improvements on the course he
is a stickler for club finances. He was
a director last year and started the
movement for a permanent sinking
fund with which to purchase perma-
nent grounds for the club when the
present lease runs out.

This first sign of steady playing is an
absolute requisite in tournament golf

Topekans who have played recently

Several years ago two Peabody bust
ness men who played summer golf at
Colorado Springs were driving home
by motor car. Coming into Peabody
one of the golfers pointed to a stretch
of rolling prairie and said:
There is a fine location for a golf

Three days later one of the business
men walked into the office of the man
who had pointed out the prospective
grounds and said:
when you get a little time today,
come out in the country with me. I
just bought that piece of ground you
raved over the other day. I want you
to lay out your golf course"

President. Eastman made probably
the most famous shot on Shawnee.
Last season he holed out brassy shot
on No. l from point 165 yards from
the green.
Eastman not only is a sweet golfer
but is possessor of a subtle humor that
has created more golf synonyms than
appear in ten average club houses.
Furth ermore he has, inadvertently, be-
slowed nicknames that have stuck and
will stick as long as the game hold out
at Highland Park.
Phil is always a welcome partner to
Shawnee players.

club as a guest of w G. Clugston, his
