The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-07

THE women's state golf tourna-
u ment will start to rolling at
$3.50 a. N. next Monday. That
means 7:30 to indianapolis folks
because daylight savings time is
in effect at South Bend, where
it will be held, over the Coun-
try Club course of that city. Play
will be in threesomes. The field,
according to Miss Livengood, is
expected to total about 100. SO
far twenty clubs in the state have
sent in 1884 dues That is indica-
tive that one or more players from
each will be in the starting field.
Miss Livengood expects the club
total to reach thirty-five. With a
large number of st. Joe valley
women taking part it would not
be a surprise to see the entry total
get well over the one hundred
mark.
60 sure are the tourney officials
~ of a field of ninety-six or more
that they have arranged prizes for
six full flights of sixteen each.
Women who go to the state tour
nament get in a full week of golf.
If they lose in the first round of
match play Tuesday, they come
right back Wednesday to take part
in consolation flight matches.
Those who lose in the second
round quarter finals of the cham
pionship Wednesday also can come
back for more. An eighteen-hole
medal score round for four will be
held Thursday. All matches end
Friday. Each match will be eight
cen holes. Prize distribution will
follow completion Of the champion
ship match Friday noon.
COCIAL activities Of the womenis
- tournament begin Sunday night.
The course has been open all week
for practice. Practically all out-of-
town entrants will be in South Bend
Sunday afternoon for a round, and
the Coquillard Country Club ar
ranged a supper for Sunday night.
Sort of a get-together affair.
On Monday night the South Bend
Country Club will entertain the
annual banquet, strictly formal af-
fair.
other side issues are a putting
contest and a mixed two-ball four
some. The latter will be held
Thursday afternoon and following it
the entrants will retire to the club
house for an informal dance.
OF course there will be the an
" nual business meeting. Besides
selecting officers for next year the
membership must decide upon a
site for next years tournament.
Right now it is our information
that two invitations are in writing
and in the hands of delegates.
One is from Meridian Hills, In
dianapolis. Since the policy Of the
association is to play the event in
Indianapolis every other year, it is
reasonable to expect that the Hills
course, where the event was held
in 1929, might be the scene of the
1885 event. 1t is said that Fort
Wayne Country Club, which enter
tanned the state play in 1927, is
anxious to have the event next year
and will have an invitation on rec
ord for the business meeting. Since
the tournament was last held in
Fl. Wayne, the play has been at
Terre Haute, Meridian Hills, In
dianapolis; Woodmar, Hammond;
Avalon (now Hillcrest, Indian
apolis; Coquillard, South Bend, and
Highland, Indianapolis, last years
site.
EHE women will go back to the
l. old U. S. C. A. system of pair
ing the players for match play this
year after one-year trial Of the
Women's Western system.
Besides Miss Dunn, the defending
champion, who has won the title
four times, there is certainty that
only one other eX-champion will
take part in the event this year. She
is Mrs. Penn G.. Skillern Of Coquil-
lard, South Bend, who won over her
home course in 1882.
Miss Dunn is a favorite to repeat.
Miss Alice Belle English of West
Lafayette, runner-up a couple Of
times. has played three practice
rounds at South Bend with IS her
low score. Mrs. Skillern and Miss
Dorothy Gustafson, another South
Bend threat, are reported practic-
ing frequently.
Owen Morrison joined COLTS hall
of fame Thursday when he scored
hole in one on No. 3 hole at
Riverside. Morrison was playing
with Mike Wills. He sent the gutta
percha straight to the green, where
it took one hop and dropped into
the cup. The distance is l25 yards.
