Show lil G0IF r 1 The oflicial list of handicaps has been posted B " , on the bulletin boards at the Country club, and : the handicap committee is prudently in hiding un- Kf til th dtorm blows over. Frank McGurrin took B a night train for southern California and the oth- B: ers avoid brick piles. B Good handicapping cannot be done unless the B players turn in their score cards, and if some B player considers his handicap too low it is his B" own fault. B Also the committee devoutly wishes some kind-H' kind-H' , hearted, polite, popular person would intimate to a the women players that if occasionally they also would turn in a score card, the harrassed handi-I1' handi-I1' cap committee would be very grateful. There's H a tournament coming up for the women the latter B, part of June, and how in Sam Hill can a fellow H' fix handicaps when no one but the bloomin' angles'' angle-s'' worms knows what scores are being made. B Play for the men's handicap cup will com-B com-B mence today with a qualifying round of 18 holes. B The program for this event has been changed. BA Eight will qualify instead of four, and the second Bf "' prize will go to the runner-up. Eight to qualify B " will give more of the handicap players a chance B& i at the cup. The following day, the match play, Hi three rounds, all at nine holes, will take place. If B the rain will stop for about fifteen minutes there B should be a big bunch out for this, as it is the B first cup of the season. K Some complaints are made by the women B players that the course as at present laid out is B altogether too difficult for them and they seem to M i have some justice on their side. The drive from B the first and sixth tees especially is too long for m the women players. A new tee for the first hole B. ( should be constructed about twenty yards south- m east and the old tee for the sixth hole should be B kept up for the women players. This would en- able them with good play, to clear the stream and B the ditch on their drive. m The two club handicap last week attracted M eight players, and was won by Fred Hale, with j I an allowance of five strokes, his net score being K 43. Walker Salisbury with the same handicap B t was second with a net score of 45. But the par- B ticularly bright scintillating score was made by B our old friend Frank Judge. I refuse to give the B j figures, but those who followed this match, and B ! had their eyes and ears open wow. B Frank confesses to three tens in the nine holes B ! play. He couldn't make his clubs behave. B Fred Hale uses a big heavy midiron in the one B and two club fracases, and I doubt if any of the B scratch players can' give him odds under those B conditions. A.
