Pat Dubois had his best golfins
day of the summer Sunday. HI
came home with, among Other
things, a sunburned countenanct
after 81 holes he forgot to veal
his hat, two trophies, a champion
ship. Not only that he was
medalist for the day. 1t was not
however, all beer and skittles a:
the saying goes. In his first round
he took a seven on the first hole
was two down and five to go be
fore he started putting his game
together. When he got it to
gether no one, that day, coulG
knock it apart. On one round
it was two puts, each of then
not over a foot long that put the
match in his pocket.
Tournament golf is q sur
prising thing. 1t is surprising
to a lot of fellows who seem
to have their game well put up
on less competitive rounds. :.
Pat, who has breezed into the
top winning column for the
summer from this club, has this
to say about it: you have to
play them hard. He point
ed out that the short stop Is
probably quickest death to
tournament hopes of any of
them. In a nine hole match
every hole counts, the differ
ence of one or two strokes
shows up mighty pretty or I'M
pretty as the case may be. =.
In an eighteen hole round a
player has a little time to get
his game organized. But on
nine while you're organizing the
other fellow can well have
everything in his pocket but
your license number. :.
Jim Cooper is another one of the
lads the boys are watching to move
up in the ranks of promising
younger golfers. Just out OF
high school, the boys say that jim
has already put up a game that is
a dandy, that he has good com
petitive spirit, is cool as the pro
verbal cucumber under stress o.
tournament play. He Topped
off three matches last Sunday K
win the first flight in the Glen
wood tournament, and turned ir
one 38 in doing it. Jim has
played in a number of short stop
events, and apparently finds Glen.
wood is his spot. He dittoed
a performance he made at that
Minnewaska spot a year ago.
Vic Sieben, tournament chair
man for the Country Club,
wants to make an announce
ment this week. To all golf
ers who haven't vet posted their
scores at the Club. he wants
to say do it at once. The
scores are to be handicap basis
for the all-club tournament the
club is to begin pretty soon.
:. The committee Is anxious
that handicaps be figured. =.
What's more they've really got
a dandy trophy for the event.

Resorts on Sank Lake had what
is regarded as the best weekend
of the summer last Saturday and
Sunday; and Sank Lake paid of
with dividends. Per usual II
made satisfied customers. We
visited couple resorts Sunday af-
ternoon, found them lined with
cars, and several with not a boat
available. The report is that by
Saturday night you could not rent
a boat for Sunday morning.
In fact scarcely a cabin or room
was available. City Park got
its best play Sunday. Drives were
lined with cars throughout the day
until early evening, Vird Neal, park
superintendent, reported. The
picnic spot was busy all afternoon.
Recreation program was get
ting back on its feet this week
after a complete tieup from the
rain and floods. An mum
dated park cut off the games,
and because of possible contain
nation of waters, city health
board closed the lake to SWIM
ming until the water receded.
-. This week they were back
at the whole program full tilt.
Harvey stressed this week
that because of the loss of sew
eral days instructions those in
the Red Cross life saving class
es should get back on the band
wagon at once. Time Is vital
now to complete the full in
