The 373rd Terrible Twenty tournament was held at Riviera Country Club, June 20, with Carsten Woll as host' The weather had cooled off and the afternoon was perfect for golf. As so often the 'case, the host won the tournament -Carsten Woll 82-13-69. Tom Fleming came in second, 765-71. Apparently the group is correctly named "Tqrrib.le," as half of the contestants couldn't get into the 7O's with their handicaps. And the president certainly lived up to his title, "Most Terrible," with a 9l-9-82.

Frank Berger distributed last year's annual prizes, including a gift to our previous Most Terrible, Vern Huck (a silver ice bucket), and they were certainly the most beautiful the club has ever presented. Thanks to Berger, Bohnhoff and Bowen, the prize committee.

The Match Play Tournament starts this month at Wilshire. Bob Alcorir is making the arrangements.-H. M. Alling.
