Middleton of the Shawnee club and
Pro Nelson of the Country club played
the Dudley yard the other day. Crow
and Nelson came in with the best card
Nelson held the lowest score Grow
shot a sweet stick but his putting was
pitifuIIy unlueky- He averaged three
and four puts to aSgreen. Only his
tremendous drives and irons saved
him.
Here'ssto the man who holds his tongue
When you'd like to make him swear.
Who listens TO all your singing words
With cool, provokIng air;
Who keeps hfs grip on his rising wrath
When his temper's really bad;
Whose self-restraint you can't disturb!
Say Doesn't he make you mad
Exchange.
Otis Hungate of the Shawnee club
recalls the action of golfers in a small
| Kansas town when it was decided to
organize a golf Grub. One hundred
and fifty men put up 500 each and
paid 800 in dues the first year to buy
land and lay out a course. In two
years they had their land clear, had
the course laid out and had built
clubhouse And here we are with a
Donald Ross Iayout-the sportiest in
| the state-and we have been juggling
along for six months trying to plan
an inexpensive way to raise tunds'

of consistent nagging In all this
spitefuI time he mas ridicu1ed her be-

sition to play golf and lose weight. II
