history Of the Central Minnesota
Golf Association, which will be held
at Detroit Lakes on June %, "a and
%. For those that care to qualify
on Saturday, June 22nd, instead Of
Sunday, the host club will be very
glad to accommodate as there will
probably be little congestion of
the course late Sunday afternoon.
The present champion is D. N.
Tallman, of Willmar, who is per-
haps the most widely known golfer
in the northwest. Mr.. Tallman won
the Central Minnesota the last
time it was held at Detroit Lakes
in 1922, but from the conversation
fheard right now he will have to
shoot some low scores to repeat as
the field this year will be large and
many younger players are waiting
to break in.
The tournament will differ slight
ly this year in the respect that 16
men will qualify for the champion
ship fight making it necessary for
them to stay over for Tuesday af-
ternoon for their finals. In years
past there has only been men in
the championship fight and last
year at Sank Centre the champion
Of the year before failed to quality,
probably due to the windy weather
more than anything else, and for
that reason it was decided at the
annual meeting to make the cham
pionship fight consist of sixteen
players.
The host club this year boasts of
a fine eighteen hole grass green
course that is kept in perfect con-
dition by one of the best known
greenskeepers in the northwest.

and at a particular time, in the main.
