Players They Admire

That unique golf organization
within q club-the Course Storm
ers" of the Chevy Chase Clubs
getting set for its annual meeting
and hilarity party next Saturday at
the big club near Chevy Chase
Circle. And those on the outside,
longingly waiting for a chance to
get into the charmed circle of men
who play golf throughout the win
ter, come rain, come sunshine, or
come snow, are sitting on the anxious
seat, awaiting the will of the dyed
in-the- wool Course Stormers" to
see whether they have made the
grade into his fraternity of men
who can take their golf no matter
what the weather.
For years now Franklin L. Fisher,
who fixes up those very de-lovely
Photographic displays in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, has
been active in the Course Storm
ers." Franklin has been one of the
brave and gallant lads who stormed
the course when it lay blanketed in
q thick cover of snow, when 1t be-
guiled you on a sunny day, or when
rain beat In your face. It's one of
the tenets Of the Course Stormers'
that only a vote of the membership
can prevent a game on any given
Sunday, and that penalty-cash-
is forthcoming from the sissy men,
ber who doesn't show up without a
reasonable excuse.
It's All in Fun.
"Of course the whole thing is In
fun" said Franklin today. 1--WE don't
intend to keep anyone out whom
we like. But we do like to kid our
friends. Bob Stead was turned down
half a dozen times, simply because
we like him." Bob happens to be
the very popular golf and green's
chairman at Chevy Chase. We've
had Sam Kaufman up several
times, but Sam hasn't yet made the
grade. However, he insisted on put
ting in ten bucks for our annual
party, and I think we'll put on q
special little show for him Saturday
Call it the S. H. Kaufman Me-
mortal Trophy tournament, OF
something We do things in diff
ferent way from most organizations
The more we like fellow the hard
er it is for him to get in"
