MYTH the arrival of June, but
w not golf weather exactly, To-
cal golfers are interested in the In
dianapolis District Golf Association
tournament advertised for this
month. There we're a few swell
tering days last week and most
members of the golf1ng fraternity
have at least seen action few
times this spring. The Indianapo-
lis district tournament takes place
of the annual city tournament. The
association takes in members with
in radius of sixty miles and they
are eligible for the tournament, but
even if one Of the outsiders wins the
city player who finishes highest in
the standing is regarded as the best
in indianapolis.
Cliff Wagner. secretary of the !. .. G..
A.. has all the data that will be required
TO set the dates, but because Ed Lennox,
the president Is ill. the get-together has
been postponed.
Three days of play each day on a differ
ent course is the plan of the association.
At the annual banquet this spring Mayor
Slack offered the use of a municipal course
and it appears the district association
looks favorable on this invitation. large
number of the members belong to mu-
nioipal course clubs and they feel that
part of the play should be over courses

muisr with The other two DAYS Of play
will be at private clubs.
THE PAST FEW YEARS The ASSOCIA-
TON HAS BEEN HOLDING ITS TOUR
NAMENT LATE IN THE FALL. THE
EDGE WAS TAKEN OFF THE AFFAIR BY
MANY TOURNAMENTS HELD BEFORE
IT. ESPECIALLY THE STATE AMATEUR,
WHICH COMES LATE IN AUGUST EACH
YEAR. WITH THE CITY AFFAIR BEING
HELD THE LAST OF JUNE, AND NEARLY
TWO MONTHS TINE BETWEEN IT AND
THE STATE MEET, THE GOLFERS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPARE TINE AND
BE IN SHAPE FOR BOTH EVENTS.
CATURDAY was a good golf day,
~ the weather man holding back
the rain until late in the day. Sun
day was as poor a June day as could
be expected and the few golfers who
played did SO in the afternoon
after it cleared off a bit and they
we're up against it to find time for
some action
The mixed two ball fourSome tournament
planned for Meridian Hills members was
postponed until next Sunday.
Saturday brought out a big crowd to
compete in the o. c. Stewart trophy tour
nament at Avalon. The affair was thirty
six holes with the first eighteen to be
played on Saturday and the second eight
cen on Sunday The hrst part was o. k.
but the entry list took a nose dive in num-
bers Sunday. OF those who braved the
weather and competed Sunday. r. p. He'd
son led the field. His total gross for the
two days play was 176 and with a forty
handicap allowance for thirty-six holes
1876 net was first place. This same Hedson
led the field Thursday in the Memorial day
flag tournament. twenty stroke hsndi-
cap added TO the course par gave him
enough shots to reach the second fsirvay
and no one was near him. Which meant
that the handicap committee was called to
order and moves made TO make winning
more difficult for Hedson. II was decided to
slice five strokes from his handicap and
he plays from now on with fifteen instead
Of twenty.
