EVENT At
SHUTTLE MEADOW
-Four Ball Best Ball Tournament
to Be Staged Tomorrow

A partners four-ball, best-ball
tournament with one-half added
handicap allowed. will be played to-
morrow afternoon as the weekly
event at the Shuttle Meadow Golf
club. This Is one of the r:ost popu-
lar events on the summer schedule
and 1t is expected to draw out one
OF the largest entries Of the season.
A large number of golfers took
advantage of the fine weather all
week long and the course was fair
ly well populated until darkness
made further play impossible. Fol-
lowing the appearance CT Bob Gard
ner and Harold Steiner 1T the club
last Sunday, the members evidently
took their good example because it
has been difficult thing to find any
of the players going the rounds with
extra high scores.
A number of special tournaments
were staged during the week and this
kept the steward. professional and
caddie master on a ragged edge all
week. I. Fish, who has been con-
spicuous by his absence from the
course this season, explains this by
the fact that SO many special parties
have been visiting the club that he
hasn't had the time to Gevote any
attention to his favorite game.
With some OF the visitors have
come players who are not so good
and not so careful. This has given
Val Flood cause to worry and tear
his hair. On several occasions lately
in spots where Val has been direct
ing all his knowledge Of grass to-
wards covering over bars spots In the
f;,irways, visitors have rioughed up
the course and have failed to replace
the turf, leaving big tlot on the
landscape and a resultant poor spot
for the members of the club.
Shuttle Meadow members like to
have the visitors use the course, but
at the same time they would like
them to use the course right. The en-
tire membership is solidly behind Val
Flood in his efforts to keep the
course in fine shape and this conf
dence has not been misplaced be-
cause Shuttle Meadow is i model for
many courses to follow after. In
fact, Val has worked so hard this
season that all the GRABS" have re-
turned to their nests in the ocean
beds.
One Of the greatest arguments in
the history of the club has sprung
UP between members of the DAM
phino" and "Iffers" clubs, two of the
irost popular sororities ct Shuttle
Meadow. The tournament committee
is planning to have tournament
between these two groups with an
alibi board to judge the winners.
The caddies are getting lined up
for the caddie tournament which
takes place at the club OF The MORN
ing of July 6. This is the day on
which the caddies will D. king. Ev-
cry day behind the cadi;e house can

The little fellow with the Eaggy coat,
the holey pants and the shoes two
sizes too. large will be watched again
this year becuse without tail an I'M

Players as a general rule regard
the caddie as only a bagtoter, but
should some of them after a match.
steal over by the caddie house and
hear their game ripped to pieces,
some good pointers would be
CLEANED. The caddies are not only
the best players, but they are also
the best critics. Watch the little fell
low with the borrowed set of clubs
which are bigger than himself and
you will learn how the game should
be played.
