Guest days are getting to be the
fad among local women golfers
They are travelling from club tc
club getting experience.
1t has reached the point where
practically every private Indianapo-
lis club has a monthly guest day on
it's program. On that day the mem
bers invite guests from other clubs
and offer special prizes to the viSi-
tors.
Friday was guest day at Highland
and Mrs. j. J. Lange, golf chairman
at the club, made reservations for
| twenty-one visitors.
This Miss Dunn, who would be
unable to carry all the trophies she
has won during her nine-year reign
as city golf champion, part of which
| she has been state champion, just
can't keep out of print.
EliZabeth's 83 Friday to capture
first place among the home girls was
| in spite of ten blows on No. II hole
After going out in 38 and being all
set for a score in the 70S, the cham
pion went trap shooting on the third
hole of the back nine and ended up
with twice as many blows as she
ordinarily takes on that hole. She
was still five strokes to the good,
however. Miss Mary Gorham took
second low gross prize with an 88.
The best efforts among the guests
at Highland were turned in by Miss
Carolyn Varin of Coffin, who had
81 to nose out Miss Dorothy Ellis
of Meridian Hills by one stroke for
visitors low gross prize. Mrs. VIII
liam Fulton of Anderson was third
with 96. Mrs. George Stewart of
Pleasant Run. president of the In
dianapolis Women's Golf ASSocia-
ton, was best net score shooter
among the visitors with 70, the
result of fifteen strokes being de-
Quoted from her gross 96. Mrs. Ben
Stone of Hillcrest was second with
l04-8i and Mrs. John Spiegel of
Meridian Hills third, with 1922.
The net prizes among the High
land members were won by Mrs.
Frank Mills, with gross SO and net
70, and Mrs. E. A. Crane, with gross
SO and net 80.
Mrs. LANCE announced today that
all arrangements have been COM
pleted for a big four-ball mixed
tournament tomorrow. Since yes
terday was guest day, she had de-
ferred the usual pre-holiday flag
tournament until after the Fourth
of July. The event will be played
by women members next Friday.
Now for another little trip around
the state.
Miss Elizabeth Dunn, women's
state golf champion and nine times
Indianapolis city champ, rated an
inch and a half, black type, flag
headline across the front page of
the Noblesville. Daily Ledger
Thursday. She took part in an
eighteen-hole invitational tourna-
ment on the Forest Park golf links
there. The headline read: Eliza
beth Dunn, Women's Golf Cham
pion, Here"
Not only was Miss Dunn there,
but she gave the women and men
of Noblesville a golf treat. The
champion went out in Al, but on the
second trip around did it in even
forty. Forty is women's par.
Women from several indianapolis
clubs, namely Highland, Meridian
Hills. Broadmoor, Hillcrest, Willow
Brook, Coffin, Riverside Pleasant
Run and Speedway, were there.
In fact there we're women there
from many Indiana towns When a
special two-courSe luncheon was
served in the Forest Park Inn for
the guests. rs were counted Mrs.
Nell jenkins, Edna Meara and Mary
Neal were the committee in charge
of the event. They had a splendid
array of prizes to award the visit
ing players.
Mrs. Hooker of Spokane, Wash, a
guest of Mrs. Ben Olsen of High
land, played in the threesome with
Miss Dunn.
MaSsie Miller, former Indian
apolis pro, who is on the job again
this year at Forest Park, assisted
Pauline Harrell in starting the
players and kept the parade moving
| in big tournament style.
The most envied winner was the
one who received an electric fan for
prize.
Down at Evansville. where the In
diana open championship will be
held in August, the links game has
taken a decided forward step this
summer. Considerable more ac-
tivity among the men than the
women has been shown. There is
evidence that the "fems" in the
Pocket City can not match skill with
the Capital City players. For in
stance, Mrs. j. Windbiel and Mrs.
| o. c. Hartmetz each scored so for
nine holes to share the low gross
honorS of a country club tourna-
ment. and a 46 by Mrs. w. Collins, a
ten handicap player, captured the
/ low net honors. Figuring that the
gross prize winners would have
! scored 100 had they made two
rounds of the course and twice Mrs.
/ Collins net IS would make her go
for the eighteen holes. it appears
that the women in central Indiana
play neater golf than those Of
Evansville.
