THE open season for "holes in
4 one" is here. Although we
never have been able to learn why
we we're swamped with attested
score cards during the 1927 season
bearing information that several
local fairWay Skinny stars had
crashed the gutta percha, Lind
bergh style, tee to cup in one eff
fort, we promise as a series opener
that pictures of all such ultra lucky
characters will appear in this col
umn this season, providing:
That the score card, attested by
the other players in the match and
the course pro, is mailed to this
desk.
Also that the picture of the al
legged hero or lucky person be with
the score card. OF course we expect
the picture to be sent in. We trust
that it is not asking too much of
any person who knows of a friend
golfer who has crashed into the hall
of fame, to send in a photo.
CUNSHINE Of Monday brought
~ forth desire to see IN
what shape the Fairgrounds fer the
thousands of municipal golfers were
in for the 1928 season. We hurried
to South Grove where our old
friend Harry Schopp was on the job
to greet us. Harry said he was do
ing the greeting act for the twenty
third annual time.
1.-THE courses are in great shape"
Harry conf1ded. THE seven new
built-up green's PIT in year before
last are reaching the hardy stage
and will stand the onslaught of the
10000 times they will be played over
this year." Harry informed Us that
$4,000 rounds of golf we're played at
that course in 1927.
