With a fast increasing member
ship. the Senior Association has
made strides toward not only a big
ger organization but a tournament
plan that will hold the interest of
all the members throughout the en-
tire golf season. A communication
from c. H. Robertson, West La
fayette, president of the state asso-
citation, carries the following infor-
nation:
The Indiana association has been de-
Vided into three sections, north. central
ana south. These groups will play periodic
tournaments throughout the season and
then gather together in the autumn to
play one big all-Indiana tournament for
the championship Of the entire associa-
ton.

organize northern Kentucky and southern
Michigan groups of seniors to be associat-
ed with the Indiana association and par
tlcipate in the big tournament This big
tournament likely will branch out until it
becomes two or three-dav affair. This

Senior golf tournament and even better
plans for an international affair The
age limit in most senior associations is
50 years. The Indiana group now main
taips a minimum limit of so years
Some efforts have been made to
divide the association members into
groups so that their competition
will be more even. Robertson sug-
gests the classification by years as,
so to go, Glass 1; so to 70, Glass 2,
and 70 up, Glass. 3.
