RECORDS 66
FOR ROUND
Of I8
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


He isn't the golfer of several
years ago when his name was
mentioned with the pre-eminent
of the game, but Freddy Mcleod,
the "golf doctor" of the Columbia
Country Club, manages to carve
a brilliant score with his sticks
The other day he flashed
sample of the Mcleod of bygone
days by covering the last nine of
his home course in a dazzling 30
S under par. He scored brides
on the twelfth, thirteenth. four
teenth, sixteenth and seventeenth
holes.
Besides. the veteran muffed
short puts on the tenth and
eleventh for a 9-hole card of %.
The record 9-hole round for Co
lumbia is % and was established
four years ago by Leo Diegel in
a match with Guy M. Standifer
Failure to score better than
36, one over par on the out
ward nine was we'll as those
missed puts cost Mcleod a
chance of lowering the 18-hOle
course record of IS for COlum-
bia which he himself posted
several years ago.
The fact that Mcleod played
from the front tees and under
winter rules" does not darken
his 9-hole round of 80 nor his
18-hole total of 66. Showing that
brand of golf on a course far
below it's general condition is
striking achievement. It's not
being done every day. The front
tees are being used temporarily
at Columbia. McLeod's card for
the last nine follows:
