Speaking Of Golf By JOB MAPLES Golfers took advantage of the beautiful weather during the July 4th holiday and kept the Boon* course rather crowded as all records for heavy play were broken. The Blowing Rock course waa likewise crowded as many of the members spent the holidays in the mountains and quite a few out of town guests also took advantage of a week of fine playing weather. Many of the local players are getting into "mid-season" form as the saying goes, turning in some fine scores. John With row shot M on the front side, but wasn't too proud of his back nine score. John by the way, will be leaving us within the very near future. He has ac cepted a position teaching at East Carolina College in Green ville. John will he missed by hia many friends. He just took up the game about a year ago and has eoae a long way fast and is quite interested in mak ing contact with some golfers down east. John regrets having to leave our area but found it necessary te do so but he made it clear he plan* to be back nest summer. O. K. Richardson turned in his best score since taking up the game, during the past week. It was a fine round in the mid 70"s, 74 I believe, although the exact score escapes me at the moment. Long hitting Sara Travis finally made his eagle on our tenth hole the other day, after many unsucessful attempts. His two wood second shot end ed up about three feet from the hole and he made the putt for the eagle and a year's mem bership. David Henderson, better known around the golf shop as "Hindu", pulled off the perfect shot late Sunday evening on the third hole. Some players ahead of his group heard a lot of noise and saw someone run ning, jumping and yelling down the third fairway and assumed that he had encountered a nest of yellow jackeia.

Beone Ladles Golf Association New* Eleven of the Boone ladles were guests of the ladies of the Hilltop Golf Club for a match on June 27 and from aU re ports, a wonderful time was had by all. The ladies were treated to a delicious lilncheon and were quite impressed by the fine improvements made in their clubhouse. Three of the Boone ladies were prtae wto ners including Jo Joines, Fro ma Shapiro and Peggy Cline. In the weekly ladies day tournament played Tuesday, six teen ladies took part. Jo Joines Was first in the bUnd bogey with Froma Shapiro second. Low putts with * ?ent "b Robertson followed by Fran Weber with 38 and all winners were presented new golf balls. The ladies held a hole in one July 4th in an effort to with whieh to buy some new furniture for their lounge. All players were eligi ble to enter this contest upon payment of a small entry fee. They shot for a twenty foot circle on the eighth green and any player getting inside the circle won a new ball. It was a bad day for the players as winners were few and far be tween but the ladies did quite well, taking in some sixty dol lars which they will put to very good use. The Udies have de cided for their next such event, to let the players shoot for the entire green from the back tees, instead of just a twenty foot circle and an extra prize of a dozen balls will be present ed to any player who makes an "ace." The entry fee will be 50c and anyone who enters and is on the putting surface of the green will win a new ball. This will take place sometime dur ing the early part of Augwt, so tor ?ROWWE?
