Show Golf. Why don't some of the lo.w score players play-ers at the Country club get busy and organize or-ganize a club team? From the twenty or more really active players could be picked a team that would be a credit to the club" in team matches. And why not the latter? Golf is growing in popularity. They play even at Ogden. And Boise. Why couldn't wo have team matches? Butte and Helena are not far away. Nor Denver. And they have cracking good teams at all three places, especially Denver. Please somebody stir things up. There's more actual pleasure pleas-ure in a. well contested team match than in a tournament. I haven't heard anything lately about the links at the University, nor the club there. Is it prospering? If a team has been organized among the players at the State institution there's a good chance for the Country club team. The greens have been abominable. Really good putters like Thompson, McGur-rin McGur-rin and Hale have been missing short puts right along, the ball bumping over the gravel grav-el like a branch line freight train, and missing miss-ing the hole by a foot sometimes. This will be changed. The greens are being raked, scraped and sanded, and soon the cry of the foozler will not be so penetrating pene-trating in the land. Look out for that second green when putting. It has a decided down hill slant, And a putt from an over-approach rolls astonishingly as-tonishingly sometimes. Those enlarged greens are a big improvement, im-provement, though. And when Mr. Leon ard carries out his threat to smooth down the course for several yards around each green, there will be some joy in making a short approach. Mixed foursome team play Saturday. Medal play. I. GOLFSOME. |
