No one knew that better than the late Steve Dunford, then president. Clubs outside metropolitan Salt Lake City felt they were simply robots in an organization which existed for the Salt Lake Valley golf mass. Actually, the outsiders were near revolt. What changed this picture more than anything and led to a new UGA organizational format, ,was need for a centralized handicap system. Dunford and other UGA officials, realized they Would get no cooperation (which, in simple terms meant money) from clubs 2 outside the Salt Lake area Sunless they came up with a jf more equitable Beehive rep-- I mentation. That led, in 1936, to the UGA new incorporat-- I ed format which featured a ; route. g Orem For Helper and Holladay, two teams spaced by geography but unbelievably parallel in results, the opening round was filled with heartbreak, rang with bitter disappointment for the second straight year.

The UGA, with its new concept of state-wid- e equality, faces a scheduling headache which could unhinge its outside membership unless solved. The UGA, I might add, is aware of it. J Must Protect Schedule As scheduling agent, the UGA assumes responsibility for designating tournament dates. It follows that the UGA must assume responsibility for protecting those dates. The golf rush is on. Clamor for tourney dates heightens each year. This calls for tight control. Maverick tournaments within the UGAs jurisdic- tion which spring up overnight and lure golfers y from those events scheduled in good faith cant be permitted. Clubs which hold tournaments in fringe areas jj of Utah have enough trouble with mileage problems, let alone combatting the dollar lure from a Maverick touruey. If these clubs cant get protec- tion from the UGA on scheduling, from whence wiU it come? Along those lines, time is approaching, when UGA scheduling will have to be concerned with only hard core, competitive golf, Best ball invitationals, for example, are great 05 social outings.

No one has worked more closely with Dunford t md has a better knowledge of the present handicap system than Marks.
