ECLUBPLANS
ITS FIRST MATCH
Low Score Handicap Affair To Be
Staged Thursday For
Numbers

The first club match for the en-
tire eligible membership staged by
the Americus Golf club since its in
ception six months ago viii take
place Thursday afternoon when the
men and women players, each in sep
arate divisions, will compete among
themselves for low score, handicaps
considered. The winners, those near
est approaching their handicap rat
ings, will receive prizes of three golf
balls each, the second two balls ana
the third one.
The players will start IN fourso!nes
at 4 O'clock promptly, under the di-
rections of the tournament commit
tee All players who have estab-
lished handicaps for five rounds of
18 holes each are eligible to enter,
no fee being assessed. During the
play the competing teams will have
full right of the course, at no time
under any circumstances playing
through being permitted and nom
competing players having no standing
on the grounds. Some forty players
of both sexes are expected to par
ticipate in this first event.
The following Thursday an ap-
preaching and putting contest will
be held, open to every player, re-
gardless of whether a handicap has
been established or not. Balls will
be awarded as prizes in this event
also.
An event which will start shortly
and cover a considerable period will
be a goat contest, which will en-
ploy the frivolous side of golf. At
the outset each player will be given
a miniature figure of a goat, bear
ing the holders name for identifi-
cation. The object is to acquire as
many goats as possible before the
ending of the contest which is plan
ned for December l. All goat hold
ers are entitled to challenge any 9TH
er holders for a match, the stake for
which shall be a goat. Those who
have lost their goats are ineligible
to challenge and are therefore out
of the contest. The plan will result
in the goats gradually coming into
control OF only few, and probably
only one player. 1t is a game which
results in a great deal of amusement.
1t is planned to stage some sort
of a tournament for the players for
July 4, which will largely holiday,
but plans have not been announced.
The tournament for the silver cup
will take place later, and will cover
about a week.
