Envy is inferiority's greatest compliment to superiority.—Anon.
The November meeting was advanced to October 22nd so that the golf championship
tournament could be played without furlined gloves and snowshoes. Ted Murphy's Belmont
course was the scene of one of the most interesting championship tournaments in years. At
the end of nine holes it appeared to be a battle between Narry, Nick and Champ Cody with
Narry's 37 leading Arthur by 4 strokes and Nick trailing by 6 shots. Narry held on to his
4 stroke lead until he reached the 16th hole and then (he'll love this) he blew as high as
the proverbial kite and went 3 over par on the 16th and 2 over on the 17th while Arthur
carded two pars to take the lead by one stroke. Narry came through with a par 4 on the 18th
to pick-up a stroke and finish all even with the Champ. Nick had a steady 41 on the last
nine but finished three strokes behind. Arthur and Narry continued to play on the 19th which
was halved with bogie fives and then Cody's par 4 on the 20th hole won the match and
championship that appeared to be well out of his reach at the end of fifteen holes.
Francis Tuscher captured the low-net with a 68 and Narry Sperandio received some
consolation by finishing in a tie with Arthur Anderson for the second net prize with a 69.
Ted had his golf course in championship condition and his tees were in especially good
shape.
A fine chicken dinner was enjoyed in the Clubhouse following the tournament. The
investigating committee reported favorably on the application for membership of Clifford
L. Hunt of the Marshfield Country Club and his name will be presented for election at the

Did you notice that the winner of the low-net prize was ex-lst Lt. Francis Tuscher?
The next meeting will be held at the Waltham Field Station December 3, 1945 at 1:00
P.M. Lunch will not be served at the meeting but we may have a speaker who will provide
food for thought. Have you seen the new wheel-barrow without handles that leaves both of
your hands free? (We haven't). Let's have your ideas and suggestions in regard to a
program for our winter meetings.
