golfers speedily are overcoming
two new hazards right well. Jack
McLaren, club pro, announces. n
addition they are taking advantage
of what all declare to be the mort
glorious winter weather ever"
First hazard already in the bag
is scarcity CT balls. New ones are
next to impossible, and SO from
every conceivable hiding place are
coming forth old ones discarded
freely when new ones were on hand.
These old balls are shipped east
and reccnditioned, with around 30
per cent recoverability. McLaren re-
ports.
Next hazard which has been given
the royal pooh-pooh by the players
is the irrigation ditch which trav-
erses the course and is still under
construction. Most players well
ccme the channel as a challenge
and are over any crouch they may
have entertained at the start OF
the project, McLaren gives out.
McLaren expects around 200
players Sunday. Around $50 made
