Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Enioys Golf - Barbeque

More than 75 divot diggers and banquet followers took in the big tournament and barbeque hosted by Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Club 170 at the San Jose Country Club on August 10. Because of the excellent showing, club 170 prexy Knute Weidman has disclosed, the Santa Clara club will concentrate on making the event its one big meeting of the year, possibly in the future like the Oakland Reveille. the San Francisco Roundup, and the San Joaquin Valley Frolics.

Although some thoroughly despondent golfer apparently made off with the list of scores, some 50 golfers enjoyed an afternoon in the sun and some exceptional scores (who's to prove otherwise? ). It is predicted that the Santa Clara membership will again select the San Jose Golf and Country CIub for next year's annual outing because of the excellent condition of the course, and the fine cuisine and generous libations served in the newlv remodelled country club.
