Employees Golf
Tournament Held
At Country Club
By Katherine E. Bass

civic leader, decided that turn about
was fair play for everyone, includ-
ing the employees of the Phoenix
Country Club, of which he is a
member. Therefore he suggested
that employees be allowed to enjoy
some cf the pleasures they saw
in their various lines of duty. The
first of these pleasures to be en-
joyed was a golf tournament,
played on the Country Club course.
AS an incentive for other member,
Mrs. Goldwater offered as a prize,
a suit of mems clothing, valued at
500.
AS the time neared for the tour
nament, other members donated
prizes cash, others .nerchan-
dise-until lively interest was
stirred up among members and par
Elephants. At first, as soon as the
tournament was over however, so
was the fun The fellows didn't
even go into the club.
Last year it was decided to carry
the fun inside as we'll as on the
green and luncheon was served
with the members acting as hosts.
Monday, June 9, the third annual
tournament and Play Day was a
huge success. At 500 a .m., the first
foursome teed off, with Johnnie
Ward as lead-off man, and the last
foursome came in about 1 80 pm.
Quite few interesting things hap
pened during that time.
For instance, Lester Turner evil
IDENTIFY thought he was a yardman,
since most of his playing was in
somebody's yard. Fred Hurd was
lineman, on the first tee, and
Brady Johnson must love trees, as
all the long drives he made, took
HIM into the woods.
Another tree man was Johnnie
Ward, whose golf ball is still re-
posing among the leafy branches of
one of the trees. James Netherland
was nothing short of miraculous as
low putt man, scoring 26 CPD IN
'18 holes. (???) Maybe Ben Hogan
can do that, too.
Luckiest shot of the day was
made by Clarence Marselle, who
made birdie, trying to get back
on the 18th .fairway. This birdie,
however, fell with feathers flying,
when his ball went high into a
tree, striking poor unsuspecting
dove. The prize for this birdie, was
fifth of liquid, which left Marsele
befuddled, since he has had no ex-
perience with fifths.
Among the prize winners were
Danny Morris, barber, who won the
tournament, with a score of Sc.
Prizes were two caps, three shirts
and II golf balls; Fred Hurd, a set
Of leader golf head covers; Gilbert
Munguia, low net, won $4,000
SWITCHBOARD was played inside
while the tournament lasted, and
winners were Bruno Benecke, $500,
and Emil Schnider (cheG merchan-
disc.
Bob Roberts won the last prize
(pot) in Bingo, and door prizes
went to R. Macbeth who won the
suit from Barry Goldwater, Richard
Coles, $1,000; Luther Wates, six
large beefsteaks: Cali the fellows
were invited to a steak dinner, and
they are still trying to find Luther,
who moved to a new residence, i'm

A buffet luncheon was served,
after the games, and H. A. White,
club manager, proved to be a most
efficient host.
Following the luncheon i'm
prOmtu skitS were presented by the
, grill and sun lounge men, per-
tanning to prominent officials and
members of the Club, including the
prisedent, and manager. One Skit
: initiated one of the biggest con-
. tractors in the u. S. A., who is also
quite close to the Yankee Ball team.
