IA member the shot that Di Este
4 4 made yesterday, which nearly
cost them a prize in the one
club event at Indian Spring. Di Este,
Peacock, George Gist and j. v. Bronell
formed the four-man team which won
the event, but only after many trials
and tribulations. most Of them CEN
tering around the final hole Of the
nine-hole event. They were equipped
player had q particular task and that
was to play the one club which he
carried and which had been assigned
him by the team captain.
So well did this quartet play the flrst
eight holes that they stood on the
ninth tee needing only 3 to score a
80, which happens to be 2 under par
for the first nine at Indian Spring.
Bill Di Este, cross-handed star Of In
dian Spring, stood on the tee, with his
trusty brassie in hand. Here's where
I knock one on that green" thought
Bill, land maybe Jim Brownell can
hole that putt for deuce. If do
that and he does his stuff, we should
win"
So Bill wound up and took q lusty
cut at that golf ball. He hit it well
and 1t went straight for part Of the
distance. But along toward the middle
part of its flight, It developed a sud-
den diving hook and ducking between
the bunkers at the left, finished in an
unplayable lie against the caddie house.
Capt. Peacock Of the. four-man team
looked long and worriedly at that lie.
He thought he couldn't afford to lose a
stroke, for the others were on the heels
of this quartet, and so Roger did not
call 1t an unplayable lie. Instead he
elected to play it, and his judgment
proved bad. The ball finally reached
the green In strokes on this par 8
hole, and was in the cup in Z. It
seemed that the jury had turned
thumbs down because of Bills wild tee
shot and the unplayable lie.
But there the other quartets were
having their troubles, and when all the
fought over and discussed it was found
that there was not any cause for ap-
prehension, for the nearest four to that
of Di Este and Peacock were three
strokes back of their 81. But Bill and
Roger will not forget those moments Of
uncertainty when the jury was out and
while they were waiting to see whether
bad judgment and one bad shot had
cost them the tournament. DR.. e. r.
Tilley, Pat Cook, George F. Foley and
Harry Peacock paired together to finish
The medal play handicap affair at
Indian Spring was won by A. Won
STEINER, who had q fine card Of rs
and. aided by q handicap Of IL strokes,

concerned, was registered by James p.
Schick, who broke 30 for the first time
in his golflng career with card OF 80.
