BERNARD STRAUSS GETS HOLE-IN-ONE
Bernard Strauss, Birmingham, Ala., got down to some serious golf on Tuesday, August 9th, at the Hillcrest Country Club. On the No. 8 hole, Bernard took a No. 4 iron from his bag and with a mighty swing placed the ball right in the cup. Congratulations, Bernard!

By the way, Bernard is only 13 years old, so he'll be ready for the next MCAA Golf Tournament.


Hold Golf Outing
MINNEAPOLIS-The Minneapolis Chapter held their first Golf Day recently at the Minnetonka Country Club with Bill Harrison taking low net honors and Jerry Olstad the low Gross award. Fifty-six hardy golfers played with the weather and the course both being excellent.

Other winners were: Bud Leckie, 2nd low net; Jack Hyacke, 3rd low net; Ron Anderson, 4th low net; Harry Sever, 2nd low gross, and Donald Frantz had the longest drive.

Keith Anderson and his program committee with the assistance of Club Pro, Wally McGurren, are to be congratulated on a smooth running and enjoyable affair.
