The members call it one of the hardest pars in the country. There's one hole, No. 9, which is a favorite for the sharpshooters. It is one which has enabled a couple of the members to join the "Hole in One club." The distance is 114 yards. Dr. C. M. Case made it in a shot last year and only the other day Robert G. McCay turned the trick. The club boasts a number of low handicap men. Dr. E. Raedel, Rich- ard Gambrill, Jr. and Walter Al- schlager are among these stars. Richard Gam- brill, Jr. is the club champion. Mrs. Dr... C. M. Case is the wom- an titlehold- er. Mrs. Case is a fine player, scor- ing in the low nineties, which is excellent at Illi- nois, and I am informed she will improve on those figures. The social scale of the club is high and now that the new clubhouse has been built extensive plans are being made for pretentious affairs. There will be many dinner-dances and bridge parties. The spirit of good fellowship would be hard to beat. Wednesday afternoon on the golf Richard Gambrill, His name is Al Espinosa. busy with his duties at the club Al is roving around the country, striving to win a championship or two. He hasn't grabbed one of the big events yet, but out at Illinois they say he's going to turn the trick and that looks quite likely for he's been finishing right up near the top in every big tournament in the last few years. Espinosa won the District cham- pionship last year at Briargate and broke the course record, his score being 67 on the last round. He negotiated the last nine in 31. This year he's playing in three big pro tourna- ments. He was a member of the U. S. team in the match against Great Britain at Wooster, Mass. He will compete in the National open at Oakmont, Pa., and again ap- pears in the Western open at Olympia Fields. Espinosa is called a stylist. He says that means hitting 'em accurately. When the cold breezes of winter hit us, he is down in Florida where he acts as pro at the Miami Country club. He comes of a golfing family, for five brothers are also professionals. They are Raymond, Abe, Henry, Romeo and Jr., club champion links belongs to the ladies, special Aj events being arranged with prizes go- ing to the winners. Sunday afternoon is family day, when father, mother and the juniors gambol over the links. There's a "big fellow" at Illinois who is most popular with the members.
