IL kick. The mayor will tell
you the city is made up of kickers
about taxes. A baseball umpire will
verify the statement that all ball
players are kickers The telephone
operators will tell you that the above
mentioned aren't the half of them.
Golf has its kickers, too-those
who enter a tournament, finish down
the list, and swear the handicap
committee doesn't know a thing
about figuring handicaps.
At Woodstock Club Saturday the
golf kicker will have his day. Ac
cOrding to a notice received from
G. Vance Smith, chairman Of the
publicity committee, each entrant
will be allowed to choose his own
handicap.
After play Is over the entrants
will assemble for a big steak dinner
in the club. Numbers between 20
and so will be placed in hat. The
fifth number drawn out is par for
the tournament. Those who come
nearest according to their own han
dicaps will be awarded prizes.
To many members Of the club the
course this season will seem quite
different. The distance between
hole one and the tee has been length
ened and Fred Schopp, professional
at the club, is constructing a new
green. The bunker across the fair
way has been removed and sand
traps added Greens that were fair
last year are beautiful this year.
Schopp has removed the sand boxes.
The club this year furnishes each
player with wooden tees. Play is
speeded up by the elimination Of
making sand tees, wiping of the
hands and such. 1t Is estimated that
for a foursome forty minutes Is thus
saved In eighteen holes.

We are sure the membership will
enjoy the course Encouragement.
The tournament Is bound to be a
bowling success. 1t is one of these
affairs that starts the golfer away
into q season minus the nerve
wracking tension of an early regular
tournament.
Bill Mayborn told us Today he was
going out to Highland Sunday and
see II he couldn't duplicate Frank
Madden's sensational hole in one"
made off No. IS last Sunday. AS
matter of fact, that little cup on No.
Is green will be expected to be quite
elastic, now that Franks feat has
gotten around.
A few days ago we watched Mr..
and Mrs c. B. Rhoades, new resi-
dents. who recently moved here
from Kansas City, taking lessons
from Harry Schopp, at South Grove.
Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. Rhoades
didn't have distance, but they had
direction and their shots from the
first tee were easily found in the
middle of the fairway. 1t proves
there is nothing like a correct start.
II you are planning on playing at
Pleasant Run Saturday and Sunday
you had better get your reserva-
llOIl III early he nice W6dLuSE w.
day caused many to call and Wally
Nelson states indications point to
capacity crowd on the course.
After all it's great thing to be
able to drive up to the links and
tee off without a long wait.
Mrs. z. G.. Linkhart and Mrs. w.
T, Ray were not to be interrupted
by little cold. and their golf en-
gagement, was held Wednesday, as
planned. Pleasant Run has some
feminine players who are expected
TO finish in tho money at future
tournaments.
S. p. Dukes. w. P. Ray, z. D,
Fitzgerald and p. J. DUNCAN, formed
foursome that played a snappy
round wednesday in ono OF the few
games that showed no effects Of the
weather.
