Terrible Twenty Holds Annual Election of Officers

Twenty-six years ago, I\Iay 19, 1927, The Terrible Trventy Golf Tournaments were established and brought into being by Eric Lange, and a group of trventy-nine golfers, wl-ren they met at Flintridge Country Club to adopt the By-Lalvs of this norv famous organization of sportsmen.

It rvas on the morning of Tuesday, June 15, 1926 when the first trventy actually met in combat and plans were made to make the Terrible Twenty a Permanent fraternity. On May 19 of this year the t$'enty-seventh annual tournament was held at Los Angeles Country Club sponsored by Ed Bauer and Clarence Bohnhoff, prominent 'rvholesale lumbermen of Los Angeles. The annual election of officers was concluded at this meeting, along rvith finals in match play tournaments, and Kurt l\{cFadden rvas elected to the high office of '.'Most Terrible" to preside during the corning fiscal year. Outgoing president, Ham Hamilton, rvas presented 'ir.ith a beautiful silver borvl as an expression of the mernbership's appreciation for his rvork during the past year. The nerv directors for the coming year include Doug Disney, Bob Osgood, Kurt l\{cFadden, u'ith Ham Hamilton and Karsten \\roll as holdovers.

Many prominent Southern California lumbermen are members of this group of golfers including Edrvin M. Bauer, Clarence C. Bohnhoff, Hervey Bou'les, Dee C. Ess- ley, Thomas B. Fleming, Burton S. Galleher, George O. Gartz, Francis G. Hanson, Arthur J. Harff, Helmer Hoel, Edrvard J. Klassen, Frank I. King, Robert S. Osgood, George A. Ryness, LeRoy H. Stanton. Sterling L. Stofle, Joe Tardl', along rvith executives of various activities allied to lumber, construction and rvoodrvorking. Over the period of vears manv of these men have served in the high office of "The trlost Terrible" and second office of "The Least Terrible," an honor rvhich thel' have alrvavs been proud to assume.

During these manl- years of tournament plav the Terrible Trventy members have met each month rvithout interruption at the various Country Clubs throughout California. Each month a neu' sponsor takes his turn as host and entertains the membership and guests at his particular club. The larger the turn-out the better he likes it because this organization is trulv founded on "goodfellou'ship."

A Terrible Trventv Touranment is a must in the lives of these sportsmen. If vou don't believe it, just ask one of them. So, they enter their ts'enty-eighth 1'ear and compete in their 325th monthlv tournament this nronth at Riviera Country Club, and *'e rvish all of them u'ell as thev tee off in their battle for the trophv.
