C0ddy School for
Country Club Boys
Boost for SerUic,
Instructor Larson Believes
Plan VIII Work an All
Around Benefit.

Working on the theory that a caddy is
not a caddy when he doesn't know the
golf game, James Lawson, professional
at the Indianapolis Country club, plans
TO establish a school for the young
sters.
The boys will be sent through a course
of training, in which they will play golf
and learn all about what a golfer de-
mands In the way of service from a
caddy.
Instructor Lawson plans to conduct
one class week for the kids" and fol-
lowing the school hour the eaddies will
be taken for a few rounds on the links
and absorb some real golf.
Prizes viii be offered for weekly low
scores and other means viii be adopted
to keep the youngsters imbued with the
idea of learning.
1t is believed that after the boys play
a few rounds they will learn to appre-
ciate what good caddy service means,
and therefore do everything in their
power TO deliver the goods when they
are working.
If this plan is a success at the Country
club 1t viii, no doubt, be carried ou&&k
every golf club in the city.
This win not only improve the caddy
service, but also make the future genera
ton of golfers much stronger.
