GOLFERS GREET
WEATHER
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The warm weather Of the last
few days has driven District golf
ers from cover to the outdoor
courses, where they comfort them
selves with : the thrills Of an ex-
cellent shot or a low round.
Many of the courses, however,
are soggy because Of the thawed
turf but, with continued warm
weather promised, this condition
should disappear. The golfers
may find the courses in better
paying shape If the temperatures
take a drop, as the soil would
then become firmer.
It is possible that the golfers
will have no more inactive periods
as has been experienced since
the first Of the year. Snow and
cold prevented play on many
courseSl though there were times
when golf was permitted.
At Congressional Country
Club there was only Q day or
two. Of open play from Janu-
airy II until Tuesday Of this
week.
Yet a heavy Snowstorm would
close the courses for at least a
week. The snow banks in the
traps and ravines and a few
days Of warm weather are neces-
Sary to clear the snow.
Employees Of the Burlington
Refrigerator Express Company,
the Western Fruit Express Com
pany and Fruit Growers Express
Company were presented trophies
won during the course Of the
1929 season at a luncheon yester-
day at the Raleigh Hotel. H. B.
Spencer, president of the COM
panies, and a number Of employees
were in attendance.
w. G. Brantley, jr., a member
Of the Chevy Chase Club, was
presented the Elmore trophy.
Walker F. Charlie" Williams and
G. Lawrence Baum, of the bill
ing section, received the presi-
dents cup.
Golfers visiting Rock Creek yes
terday found the course in suit
able shape and 1t was reported
there was a waiting line at the
starting tee. Looks like we'll
have the crowds for a few days, :"
smilingly said AL Price, Rock
Greek pro, as he looked around
and saw the golfing addicts trod-
ding the sod.
