the two gold medals. The four play

awarded the eight bronze medals.
Any member, no matter how low
his handicap, after today first must
challenge a bronze medal wearer
to get started up the ladder toward

When a player wins bronze medal he
may challenge the wearer of a silver
medal. but must win a silver medal be-
fore he can challenge the wearer of a
gold medal. If a player is challenged,
he must accept the match within a week
or forfeit the medal to the challenger.
When a silver medal holder loses to
player with a. bronze medal they ex-
change medals.

ton of strokes to be dropped.

All match play with exception of the
club championship and medal challenges
have been eliminated this year at High

drawn out tournaments. With all tourna-
ments except those two for medal play,
the winners of all affairs are known in
day or two, he added.
