BY SANDY McNIBLICK

TNHE thrill that is cinging the bells
L at the starting tees Of the local golf

son will begin before you can honestly
say hereabomts that winter Is on.
In other words. the boys that take
their full whirl in the annual fall tour
nament of the Country Club of Atlantic
City would have to hustle bit to make
the start of the winter season in the
South. The scashore tourney is dated
for November ., 3 and 4. Then comes
the eighteenth annual tourney at Pine
hurst, y. G.. the qualifying round Of
which will be played on November 9.
Therefore all that Is necessary is Il
flock Of speed between courses.
Some Of the local talent figures on
playing in both the tournaments, which
is perfectly o. X. because both courses
are highly playable.

ing in the month Of November. The

essary is one Of the mean scores in

Locals who have never given Pine

the old straw bonnet and take in one
or two Of the affairs down there. They
have plenty of good golf holes. and
the mode of procedure is mostly to eat,
sleep and play golf all the day long.

tussle and the players who will take

Somebody pushed back the cap and
began withering blast at the gam,
OF golf yesterday.
