We also know some of them have
braved the wintry blasts to play the
year around. They like the game,
and any game woman likes she us
ually strives to play well.
Indianapolis Women's Golf Asso-
citation recently held it's first meet
ing of the year at Highland Golf and
Country Club. Mrs. w. Fl. Barrere
Jr., Highland, president; Mrs. Cliff
ford Wagner, Pleasant Run, vice
president, and Mrs. Gage. Hoag,
Highland, secretary and treasurer.
met with representatives of each of
the other local clubs and preliminary
plans for the season were drawn.
Mrs. Barrere announced the first
tournament. a blind par, eighteen
hole medal play affair, to be held
over the Meridian Hills course on
May "a.
The above announcement is sig
nificant for two reasons. 1t seems
that the plan of holding the meets
on Monday has passed. The idea
of holding golf tournaments right
after the ordeal of a weekend evil
IDENTIFY became too much for the
women. They decided on a day of
rest between.
The announcement that the first
tournament and the additional state
ment of Mrs. Barrere that some of
the other tournaments during the
year will be held on private courses
certainly will be received with joy
by the women. Mrs. Barrere hopes
that 1t will also mean a greatly in
creased membership. 1t certainly
was courageous of the women to
play all last year over the Pleasant
Run course. Hard as rock because
Of the lack of water, the municipal
course offered a handicap that only
women who love golf could endure.
Water has been piped over the
course at Pleasant Run and we
think the women would take back
some of the harsh things they said
about it now il they played there
again.
It has been limited that Mrs.
Barrere will resign her post as head
Of the association at the first tour
nament Ill health during the past
winter is blamed for the decision
said to be held in allegiance. We
hope Mrs. Barrere will be sufficient
" recovered with the arrival Of nice
weather, and at the sight of the many
familiar faces at the first tourney
that she will reconsider her plans
and lead the army of gallant In
dianapolis women players to the
State tourney.
Which brings to mind another an
nouncement. The Indiana Women's
State tournament will be held at the
FIT. Wayne Country Club. June 29-
July 2, we are informed by Mrs. Carl
c. Gibbs, who was host to the meet
last year at the Indianapolis Coun-
try Club. tt
Next Saturday night a tradition
will be carried out at the Indianapolis
Country Club. Carl c. Gibbs will
preside at the beofsteak dinner, for
years an annua! affair as the golf
season lid litter. At the dinner
Gibbs will announce the womens
tournament committee. He also
will read the season tournament
schedule to the members. .
The women at South Grove have
not started club activities as yet,
although the course is filled with
women players daily. Mrs. Al Roy,
president of the women's club; DIR.
Lillian Mueller. vice president, and
Miss Kathryn Barnett. secretary and
treasurer, have called a meeting to
take place next week. at which time
I the first tournament date will be
decided upon.
Mrs. Roy and Mrs. Frank Payne
forgot bridge and talked golf the
other day. Before they parted they
