LADIES' GOLF CLUB

Shortly after the golf course was ready for use in 1928, the Ladies' Golf Club was organized with Mrs. Earl Hawker as its first president and Mrs. John Boden, secretary-treasurer.

Since its organization, the weather being favorable, the club has met at the golf course once a week during the golf season for a one o'clock covered-dish luncheon followed by golf play.

A trophy cup, purchased in 1929, has been won by Mrs. Dale Hazlett, 1929; Mrs. W. L. Watters, 1930; Mrs. Hazlett, 1931; Mrs. Earl Hawker, 1932; Margaret Whitacre, 1933, 1934, 1936. No tournament was held in 1935. Miss Whitacre, now Mrs. Wayne Irey, having won the cup three times in succession, was awarded permanent possession.

Each summer the club has exchanged guest day tournaments with the Iowa City, Tipton, and Muscatine clubs. Several times during the summer family picnic suppers are held.

Mrs. Robert Brooke was president in 1937; Mrs. Wayne Irey, vice-president; Mrs. Edward Bowman, secretary.
