ports, it is probable that some

Golf, the one sport, in which
almost everyone can participate,
has taken a firm hold in Sweet-
water.
To a first-time visitor, the en-
thusiasm for the old game to
which Mary of Scotland was an
early addict, is especially grati-
fying. Already, the city has tak-
en its place as one of West
Texas' warmest centers of the
fascinating business of hunting
pars.
A trip around the Lake
Sweetwater course quickly
discloses the reason for
some of the avidness here.
The layout, with its natural
beauty, is easily one of the
most attractive in the sec-
tion. There's a shot for
every club during a single
round. Too, the greens are
surprisingly good. In short,
the Sweetwater folks have a
place to play the game
that is interesting as well
as challenging. That's half
the story in many instances.

The idea of cracking the West
Texas tournament season with
the invitation here was espec-
ially happy. That the event
will be one of the season's most
popular is evidenced by what
tlii' capable committeemen have
done with it in two short years.
Frankly, the entry list of 178
players will better by far the
entry in more than half the
state's tournaments (luring the
t!K>8 season.
The nine-hole course can't
contain the tournament in an-
other season or so. But when
the 18-hole layout is complete,
and the work has already be-
gun. there's no way of telling
just how big the swat fest here
will become.
Another wholesome aspect of
this year's tournament is the
large number of "90-shooters"
who entered. Although these
boys usually get little
