I NJ duties and the Junior golf
morning was only fairly attended. !
Chuck Garringer said the fellow who |
sends out the Highland Golf-O- Gram |
is responsible. The ones who had |
heard of the affair by word of mouth
had their youngsters on hand and
they gained a world of good from the
two instructors, Neal Mcintyre and
Garringer.
The tutors agreed to cover the |
same field again next Saturday and |
in the meantime the Golf-O-Gram
man will have a fine announcement +
to make.
damned, packed, filed to capacity. !
That was the story at the golf |
courses Saturday. The early birds |
Sunday received drenching and /
the ones who were scheduled to
start later, held back. However,
when Old Sol peeped through the
clouds before noon, the golf bug be-
gan to sting and it was not long
until there was a waiting list at |
all the courses.
The Pleasant Run blind par tour
nament went off on schedule. A
large field was out and some low
scores turned in when 81 was drawn !
from the hat, as blind par, three |
voices rose from the crowd in unison
and said: Il win" John Draper,
Thomas Smith and John Nickel !
were the winners. Don Munro had !
81 and five tied with 49, They were
w. p. Ray, Charles Spots, r. Wen
eel, w. II. Langmaid and H. Fittz.
There is no way TO learn the con-
dition of the course any better than
to play it, said Fosdick Goodrich,
pro at Pleasant Run, and Herman
Uebele, course manager. To get the
patron side Of the argument, they
took Ed Dallman along Sunday and
the trio did not keep score, just
looked. 1t has reached this desk
from numerous sources that Pleas
ant Run is in better shape now than
it was at any time last year And |
r. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of
parks. said they are not through,
either
Jack Holiday won the weekend
sweepstake matches at the Indian
apolis Country Club Saturday. He
shot 10, had 10 handicap and the
SO net took the prize.
Some of these days we are going
to receive a notice of father-and-
daughter or a mother-and-daugh
tournament. Such an announcement
would be possible and right now we
hear that c. Willis Adams and Bill
lockwood at Meridian Hills are hurl-
ing challenges at one another.
Daughters of both men joined Dick
Nelson's golf lesson class the past
week.
The Kiwanis Club will hold a club !
tournament at Meridian Hills on
Tuesday.
The boys who have been shooting I
the Highls nd course in the 70s all
spring do not seem to weaken, and |
the spring handicap tournament that |
is under way finds many such scores |
on the board after every round. Play. |
ing Highland in the 7Os is no trick.
The reason we say that is because /
last summer during the Western |
Open tourney held over that course, |
won by Walter Hagen, and in which |
the best of players participated, we /
remember many scores well over 100. |
Some time ago a couple of Day |
ton men said the greens on the last |
nine at Broadmoor Country club !
course were the best they ever had |
SEEM And to prove that you can !
putt on them was shown Sunday |
when George Soutar. club pro,
turned in 80 for the nine.
Rain failed to dampen the spirit |
at the Avalon course Sunday and /
those who were out early kept on
playing. Others continued to arrive
and there was not lull at the start. Y
ing tee. Ray Jones turned in some |
weekend scores that the rest of the
gang can shoot at, 70 on Saturday
and IS Sunday. Vine Kercheval hit |
for SO on nine holes.
