Country club golfers are clamorine
Tor another Scotch mixed foursome @
) ball tourney. The social feature OF
the game adds to the pleasure of goli
and also gives the women an oppor,
tunlty to watch their husbands-ol
others--at play. Mems 2-baII Scotch
, toursomes are most popular in Europe
I 1t is claimed by the experts that thi.
! Kind of match is one of the real de
: velopers of golf in that when
golfer plays shot he is thinking no
only of the effect of his play but alsS
the encouragement and advantage
VIII give his partner over the oppos
ing players. Play is fast, also. 4
scotch 2-ban foursome will trave
; even faster than a twosome, owing =
the fact that there are more player
to watch the strokes, find lost ball
and be in preparation with the prope
club for the next shot.
