ent dribble the ball into the cup I'M
opposed.
There were several brides"
around the Highland Golf and Coun-
try Club the past weekend. They
were not the kind that 'tweet-
tweet," but the thudding kind-the
kind that drop into the little cup at
the end Of stroke one under par
golf.
Seven Of these under-par golf
holes were played in eighteen holes
by the members Of a foursome made
up Of Bud O'Reilly, Frank Kissel,
Doc" Cant and Frank Binford. Bin
ford has been playing some good
golf and turned in a score OF 7. Parr
Is 70.
If you think the above was the
best golf played at Highland, listen
to this: Vanlandingham and Jack
Tuite played Pete Schaffer and Jack
Hammel a best ball match. When
1t was all over the scores tabu-
lated. the former pair had 81 and
Hammel and Schaffer So. Somebody
was on every hole.
Max Buell. is shooting golf. He is
getting up early weekdays to get
over the course. Practice makes per
feet, they say. Saturday he shot rs,
Vxvo xrrf
prize offered the second Saturday of
each month, a case of Canadian Dry.
After watching the regular sum-
mer storm break loose Sunday and
drench many customers, George
Soutar. pro" at Broadmoor, ven
tured forth with the statement that
full-fledged summer golf. He made
it little more explicit by stating
that the greens would be moved
each day. Set your daily playing
time and you will find the same
speed to your ball on the putting
greens, George says.
There could be no complaint with
the velvet-like putting spaces Sun
day. If scores speak, Bernie Lehman
and Ferd Meyer had no kick. Leh-
man shot 76 and Meyer rs. They
are the first to get under the eighties.
The weather man was just wee
bit late and failed to hurt the at
tendance at the local courses except
few late Sunday starters. South
Grove had 375 Saturday afternoon
and nearly 500 Sunday. Chick Mel
son at Riverside had another ca
pacity crowd of about 400 Sunday
and 275 Saturday afternoon. Coffin
and Pleasant Run both had full
houses. Theatrically speaking, at
the four municipal courses from noon
Saturday until noon Sunday, the
S. r. o. sign was out.
Meridian Hills was host to large
crowd Saturday, when more than 100
played. Wally Sparks had the sand
man busy last week making sand
traps where sand traps should be.
The greens are all topped, dressed
and a little sun with that rain Sun
day is going to make the greens
Jake.
Last Monday Jack Tuite and Ralph
"Stoney" Stonehouse, assistant pro at
Highland, played in the professional
amateur tournament and lot out be-
cause 'Stoney" failed to putt out.
The little argument that followed,
for you know Jack never let that get
by, made those Two fellows into a
real team. Stoney got with Jack
last week and his iron game was
touched up. Then Jack adapted a
new set Of smoked golf glasses and
his score fell like sand baw from
a high building.
It's dollars to doughnuts that
Stoney puts every ball into the cup
today at Broadmoor when the Pros
and amateurs play again, and Jack,
if he continues on his game, is going
to make some one take notice. That
will be hard pair to beat.
June 6, at 1 p. m, the women OF
South Grove will meet at the first
tee and start medal play blind par
tourney. Just one of those get-ac-
quainted affairs.
DIR. J. C. Barnes has the low score
record so far, with an 81, according
to the daily score card in the loung-
ing room at South Grove. Other
scores are George T. Meyers, SO;
Herman c. Olsen, go; H. M. Bennett,
80, and Hal Holmes, 90. Probably
