The 1922 tournament is scheduled for
French Lick. With no invitation coming
from any club with an IS hole course, the
officials Of the Indiana Golf Association
wired Tom Iaggart, Jr., of French Lick,
and suggested that If he would invite the
next tournament to French Lick, he
would delight the golfers Of Indiana. The
telegram Of invitation came along and
the golfers were happy. The new course
at French Lick. over which the 1922 play
will be held, is not entirely finished now,
/ but by next year it will be in perfect
shape. A new clubhouse is being built
there now which will be one Of the most
| biggest tournaments, like the. national
amateur and national open, will he held

The gait that Simpson was going
against Van LandinGham may be meas
ured by his score and the score itself
/ does not completely measure his effective
ness, for two puts were taken. on holes

made in one putt had il been ecessary.
Simpson was PLAYING safety first on the
green always. His card for the eighteen

Dave Lockhart Of Riverside has come
along with a suggestion for the benefit of
the caddies at the State tournament which
has been put up to the State Golf Asso,
citation as part of the business of the an
nual State tournament. Caddies are nee
essary at the State tournament On the
course on which the tournament is held
there are never enough trained caddies
1t has leen the practice Of the golfers to
take caddies from their home courses and
some Of the caddies have come along on
their own account, hoping TO get suffi
Gent employment TO give them a week.
fun. Sometimes, however caddies have
been overlooked and they have been able
to shift for themselves. At this tourna-
ment LoCkhart found four Of them not
properly cared for and took 1t upon him
self TO find quarters for them. His sug
gestion which is a mighty good one. puts
II up to the State association to organize
the caddie supply and to provide COM
Portable and safe quarters for these boys
In homes which are open to them.
The State tournament here IS another
argument for the standardization of the
rules in golf Unless the golf rules are
followed exactly and rehgiously and IN
less all players take penalties alike. there
is to be all sorts of arguments after

players themselves, but by friends of the
players For instance Bobby Resener
