GONE one standing at the
~ eighteenth green remarked as
Neal Mcintyre came in that if Neal
just bettered his putting he would
burn up the golf courses around
here. Mcintyre and Umphrey putted
badly to reach II. Umphrey putted
good on the first hole of the play
off for an easy 4. The others man
aged to have a 4 in their golf sack
and the match was still tied up
Second shots on the second fairway
we're not so good, and as a result
Garringer, who came out of a sand
trap, was down in d. Mcintyre was
five feet away and Pete Shaffer, a.
Neal seemed to be pretty good
putter and sank his shot Pete,
with still more pressure on him,
sank his.
Pressure mounting. the boys started
the play on the third hole. Macs drive
and second were there, his third was on
the n!sJg green near the pin. Garringsr and
was supposed to be not so good on his
putting game, sank the pellet and with
it placed first place money in his jeans.
On the next hoe Diddel was on the
green from the tee and down in g. Sand
traps played havoc with the others and
reliable Bill and his partner. Pete, carted
of second money. which by the way also
went to Mcintyre because amateurs Bill
and Pete had to take merchandise instead
Of the money, giving Mac the trade profit

TINE Indianapolis Times, striving
i to do bigger and better things
for junior golf in Indiana, got plans
under way today for the conduction
in 1929 of the first annual Indiana
State high school golf tournament.
The meet. if held, will be staged in
Indianapolis. Rough details of the
meet we're taken up today with A.
l.. Trester, secretary of the Indiana
STATE High School Athletic Assoc
alton. Trester said he could see
nothing wrong with the plans, but
declared he preferred to wait and
interview the members of the board
of control and glance over the rules
of the association before giving a
final decision.
Golf, while encouraged by the I. II. S.
A. A., is not a recognized tournament
