The 371st Terrible Twenty Tournament was held at Lakeside Country Club, April 16, with Tom Fleming our host. Lakeside was at its best and the weather perfect. Our group seems to be well named-half of the players couldn't break 80 with their handicaps. Carsten Woll won first place, 80-1169, and. Frank King won second place, 8O-9-71. In the match play, Osgood beat Bowen 3 &2, Alcorn beat Bauer 2 & l; these matches in the upper flight. Gartz beat Bohnhoff 3 & 2 in the second flight. Due to a postponement of match play at Hacienda in January, there will be a three-way playoff in the first flight between Osgood, Alcorn, and Rodeckbr. (Rodecker won the first six months flight). In the second flight Gartz plays Pierce. (Pierce won the first six months match play, and plays in the finals of the second six months tournament, but he wins only one prize).

Frank King did not get his ash tray for 2nd place at Oakmont in December. Look over your trophies and see if you have it.-H. M. Alling.
