376th TfT Ployed ot Bel Air; Big Growd Due ot Monterey Ploy

The 376th Terrible Twenty tournament was held at Bel Air Country Club, September 26, with Bob Falconer and Frank Berger as hosts. A perfect afternoon with Bel Air at its best and we had fun. George Gartz with his 37 on back side (38 points) won the tin-whistle tournament of the day, sharing the prizes with Bob Dilworth (34 points) in the lower flight. In the Match play, Dilworth beat Whittaker, and Osgood beat Pierce on the 20th hole. In the second flight, Gartz chewed Berger to pieces, and Oliver squeezed by Morris. The Finals will be in November as matches are not held at Monterey.

Our October tournament at Carmel will be the biggest turnout we've ever had up north. It looks like a crowd of 65, so we are planning a split field, between Cypress and

Monterey, Thursday and Friday mornings, with breakfast at 7:30 each morniirg. The foursomes will be made up in advance, and Bob Osgood has the event well organized. There will be a cocktail party at 6:30 Thursday, with dil_ner at 7:30, at the hotel, for-members and their wives. (I said wives).

Bring your rhythm, a wool shirt and two p_air of shoes, as the iourses aie wet at 9:00 a.m.-H. M. Alling.
