nal idea for such golf party.

Cleveland golfers. We plan to hold

.or the Cleveland Hotel. We would
equip the room with golf nests, etc.
Our wish is to have prominent golf
ers demonstrate the different clubs
and the proper use of Them. This
show should greatly increase kolf in

OF this committee this year to try to
create q greater and keener interest
