So. Cal. Golf TournamentaBig Success

The first Lumbermen's Golf Tournament of Southern California was held at the San Gabriel Valley Country Club on February 6th, 1923. There were 58 entries and. 46 actu.al players. The Tournament was in charge of a committee composed of Mark W. Lillard, Robt. Forgie, G. R. Tully, F. M. Slade. S. O. Krantz, who was a member of the committee had died before the tournament.

36 holes were played and the prizes were both good an'd .appropnate.

r E. R. Maule, Manager, Sash & Door Departm,ent, IIammond Lum'ber Company. who shot the low gtuss score for the day with an 86 in the mornin,g and an 87 in the afternoon, was by far the most consistent player of the lot. Had Bert been sinking his putts, his score would have been down in the 70s.

Dave Woodhead captained a foursome from his office ancl J. E. Loyd Jones of their party walked off with one of the pflzes.

Gus Hoover and Roy Stanton did rnot seem to care so much about tournament prizes as they did in trying to stick ea,ch other.

There was a close race for consolation, honors between Bob Osgood, J. A. Farnsworth and T. B. Hatten, but Bob Osgood took hone the baconr in the shape of a large shovel donated by the Woodhead Lumber Company.

, John G. Cushing of the D,onovan Lumber Mills was the { winner of the pigskin golf bag donate'd by the Califo'rnia Lumber Merchant for the low net score f,or the day and from the looks of the bag he was carrying, this was a muchn'eeded addition to his golf outfit.

Walter Gibbs of the Monarch Screen Company won the golf bag donated by Whitmer Jacks'on & Company of Albuquerque, N. M., for the best score fo'r sash and door men only. Walt,er shot good golf to get this and deserved it.

Howell llaker of the California Panel & Veneer Comoanv was observed trying to enlarge the trap on No. 1 green, bui when questioned regarding this, said that it was only an old ball and'he was try.ing to bury it.

Mark W. Lillard claims that he was instrumental in Bert Maule's winning the first prize as he was playing with Bert and kept so close behind him that Bert had to shoot goll in order to win the match they had between them.

Bob Forgie deserves the concrete tooth brush for the largest score o,n one hole. His 14 strokes on the 18th hole in the afternoon was a sight for sore eyes, but the guests needed mufflers on their ears. He was followed closely for this re'cord by J. A. Farnsworth of the California Door Company who had a snappy 11 for this par 4 hole.

Cliff Bergstrom started out pretty good. He had 38 strokes for the first four holes and then blew up.

Grant Rich.ards said that he had a ,dandy game, having from three to four perfect putts on every green.

G. R. Tully of A. C. Show Lu,mber Company claims that he would have had a wonderful score had it not been for the ditches and the trees.

J. O. Means claims that 36 holes are too much for him to play in one day. He would rather take four days and play nine holes at a time.

Cy Hooper of Hooper & Smith played with Bob Osgood and their match developed into a foot race as neither seemed to have any lu,ck hitting the ball.

Frank Marmion of the San Gabriel Valley Lumb,et Company won a d.ozen Silver Kting balls donated by the Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills and was very much peeved because they'were not high balls.

E. T. Hoagland of the Hammo,nd Lum,ber Company, who won the mashie niblick donated bv the Nicolai Door Manufacturing Company for the secorrd best, net score was probably one of the most surprised 'men on the course, but he shot consistent golf and with his 12 irandicap was entitled to it.

J. E. Loyd Jones of the Woodhead Lumber Company was happily surprised when he found that he had won a dozen balls donated by the Lumber Products Sales Company. Many of the players had their r'/ives come out for dinner in the evening and about 65 sat down for a dandy dinner as only Manager O'Donnell of the San,Gabriel Country Club knows how to put up. Afterwards an orch,estra furnished music for those w,ho were not too tired to dance.

Robert Ctzner, who, Dave Woodhead says, came to California with the Franciscan Fathers, awarded the prizes, and as Bob knows nothing about golf, he did very well.

It is to be hoped by the golfers among the lu,mbern-ren that these tournaments will be held several times a year as it gives them a chance to get better acquainted with their neighbors and an excus€ to ,get away from the office for a whole day to play golf.
