TN answer to the question of A. G
IL Sallee, parks superintendent
suggesting that the course is toe
hard for the boys. we answered we
were willing to try it once and al
low the boys to answer the ques-
ton with scores.
The tournament is in a ticklish
spot due to the fact that many other
organizations have decided upon
early June dates of late years for
their tournaments.
The indianapolis District Golf
Association 54-hole championship
will be played June Ii, u and 10
The indianapolis Women's Golf AS
ISOLATION city championship will be
held during the week of June Is
to % at the Speedway.
ONCE many of the boys who an
~ nually play in The Times
schoolboy tournament are caddies
at the various courses about town.
it is hardly fair to the boys to ask
them to give up chances for work
at the other two tournaments sched-
uled. or to keep the boys from cad
dying at the two big tournaments
mentioned before by having The
Times tourney on any of those
dates.
We checked up with Lieutenant
George Naylor. golf coach at Short
ridge, and other coaches, and
learned that high schools are to
hold their commencement exercises
during the week OF June 4. Thus
it is our tentative plans now to
hold the ninth annual Indianapolis
Times interScholastic golf tourna-
ment at Coffin course June 6, 7, 8
and g.
WE are not certain at this time
w if We can hold a grade school
tournament in conjunction with the
main event. as has been our policy
in the last few years. We also I'M
derstand that grade school pupils
must attend school full days up
until June with a half day only
on June s. We do not care to in
terfere with school programs.
If the grade school match play
championship is not held. there is
still possibility that an eighteen
hole medal score event for grade
school boys will be held in con-
junction with the high school
classic. The eighteen holes will be
scheduled for either Friday after
noon or Saturday morning.
THE iS-hole qualifying round for
l. the high school championship
will be run off on Wednesday. as
usual The entire day will be given
over to play, urging every boy who
can do so to play his round early
on Wednesday so as not to interfere
with the regular customers who
play the course where the tourna-
ment is held.
After all the qualifying scores are
in, the thirty-two lowest score
shooters are paired up into a match
play bracket and plans made ready
for the deciding of the title during
the next three days on the personal
combat basis beginning Thursday.
Sixteen matches, eighteen holes
each, on Thursday morning will re-
duce the field to sixteen players.
