Show GOLF. ' The following score, made by, J. Walcott, Thompson in a threeball match last week with McGurrin and Copp, ought to stand for some timo to come as the record: Thompson Out 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 4 31 It was nice clean golf, too, no scratch shots in it, but long driving, accurate approaching and absolutely ab-solutely deadly putting. This is three strokes under the new bogey. I would like to see the game in which the score is beaten. Thompson had a 78 for the 18 holes. I do not think this will stand very long as the season record, however, as 79 has been made three or four times, and the regulars are settling down pretty fast. But 34 well, excuse me while I bow. & , & The second of the club team matches resulted in an all square score. There were surprises on both sides, but the net result was a drawn battle, and that banquet is a little farther off than it appeared to be after the first match. 5 2fr (f Not a grain of sand remained on the greens Sunday as a result of the zephyrs of the early morning,' and putting was a farce. The man who looks after the greens may have conscientious scruples against working on the first day of the week, but that doesn't help ye golfer out much. And when a three-foot put misses the cup by about eight Inches, some scandalous language is spilled. IB ii& 2& K I do not want this screed to become too much m Thompson, but then, you know, when a man Bl drives across the irrigation ditch guarding the jBt fourth green, ho Is entitled to credit. It is tho K iirst time it has been accomplished, not even H; Rock Channing, with his awful trail-breakers, H ever having found the far side of the ditch on his K drive. The carry was to the top of the embank- m ment. K . Thompson also drove into the blind bunker B guarding the fifth green, and this leads me to jB s kick. Two or three times this spring driven balls fls have found the bottom of this bunker. It seems B almosUcriminal to penalize a perfect shot. A local B rule could be made prodding for the placing of a B ball back of the bunker without penalty when B driven into it. The rule would not become shiny B through use, and the Third Commandment would B not be bumped so early or often. H A. FOOZLER. B |
