Low would you feel if you were 10
i / yards from the pin in two shots at
the fourth hole at Indian Spring
and finally managed to hole out in IA.
Johnston r. Zimmerman, Indian Spring
golfer, is about ready to give up the
game after the disappointing showing
he made yesterday at the fourth, where
he had high hopes of getting a par 4
after splitting the middle with a brace
of shots which left him only a short
chip shot. But instead of laying the ball
dead he knocked it far over the green,
and from there he knocked it back In
the bunker short of the green. The veil
should there be drawn, for he puttered
around in and out of the bunker and
finally got down in IA strokes.
Meanwhile, on another hole a short
distance away Mrs. James " Brownell,
wife Of the chairman of the Indian
Spring membership committee, was ac-
compiishing a feat that comes only every
once in while to even the finest of
woman golfers. She played the seventh
hole at the course in four strokes, which
Is one under mems par, and is tough
3 for any woman, no matter how good q
golfer she may be. Mrs. Brownell hit
her third shot with a midiron 3 feet
from the hole and sank the putt for the
birdie.
