Show GOLF. A medal score of eighty for eighteen holes was made by R. H. Channing over the Country club links Sunday morning, thirty-seven for the first round and forty-three for the second. This will probably stand as the record for some time. The medal score of thirty-seven, two strokes under Bogey, was equaled by Mr. McGurrin last fall, but if I remember rightly, it was followed by a disastrous dis-astrous round that ran the eighteen-hole medal score up several strokes above eighty. Mr. Channing has been settling into his game very rapidly of late. His winning streaks have been aggravatingly frequent in the opinion of other aspirants for the top place in "A" class, and when he has them on he is unbeatable. His worst fault has been his habit of pressing. This is being eliminated very radily, and those heart-breaking drives of his go up the center aisle with beautiful regularity. Channing's medal score was as follows: fol-lows: Out 4 4 5 5 5 2 4 4 437 In 6 4 4 5 5 4 5 4 64380 Sunday's windstorm almost tore the sage brush out by the roots. What it did to the sanded greens may be imagined. Yet there were sane, healthy men who went over tho course in that whirlwind. N. B. But no medal scores were Kept. Mr. Holman won the men's prize in the putting contest Saturday. |
