NCE a golfer always a golfer," la an old
slogan, and after careful observance
at the different country clubs around
Omaha, I believe In this old saying.
It Is like tangoing, the one step and
the hesitation waltzes popular with
all ages. The youthful caddies get so fascinated
with the game and their young minds are so con
centrated on it that they forget to be mischievous,
ind during vacation and even during the school
fear,, the caddie's mother at least knows where he
lb, and the little fellow is pretty apt to be in good
iompany.
You will find men, women and children coax
ing the tantalizing golf ball into the elusive hole.
Among the younger promising players I have
noticed on the course are Harkness Kountze,
Charley Allison and Tom Kinsler. These youthful
athletes, not yet old enough to be In college, play
a remarkably good name, and I doubt not but that
they muy yet be a 6econd Francis Ouimet or Chick
Evans.
The younger society girls have taken up the
tame rather reluctantly, staying more closely to
their tennis game, but this year with an excellent
teacher at hand they are making remarkable head
way. Almost any morning on the Country' club
course you will find Miss Louise Dinning, Miss
C'w jr'L.

Mildred Hutler, Miss Daphne refers. Miss Gladyk
Teters, young Mrs. Harold Pritchett. Miss Isabel
Vlnsonhaler, who Is still In school, and a numbei
3f others of the younger set.
The Misses Peters clung to their tennis game
persistently . until this winter when they went to
Palm Heaoh. "Why, we had to learn to play golf,
for every one else was doing It," said Miss Daphne,
so she started In earnestness, and carried off the
prize for the women's golf handicap match at the
Country club this year.
Omaha is justly proud of Mrs. E. H. Sprague,
who holds the woman's championship for Ne
braska, and who has made an excellent showing
in a number of the western tournaments held in
Chicago, never falling to o.allfy. "
Mrs. Silver and Mrs. Karl Llnlnger will meet
Mrs. Bruoo Moffatt and Mrs. Tubbs all of the
Omaha Women Golfers' association and together
with Mrs. Spruguo will enter the western open
championship for women on the Hinsdale course
near Chicago.
There is something so dignified about the
Scottish game that one rarely soes any cartoons or
any Jokes concerning it. The first one that I re
member hearing was when the inimitable colored
comedians, Williams and Walker, were playing to
gether. The ' dapper little Walker Immaculately
dressed and carrying his cane says to Bert Wil
liams, of "I-May-Bo-Crazy-Dut-I-Alnt-No-Fool"
famn, "I think I will play a game of golf."
"What kind of a game is golf?" asks the lanky
comedian. '
Walker says, "You play It this way: take your
ball to the teeing grounds "
"Ah think ah likes coffee grounds bettah," says
Williams, and the game Is off.
