TURF CLIPPINGS

NJGCSA Happenings:

Well it was a delightful day at the track. We had a few 
DD winners which brought a few victory screams from Mort 
Hansen and Roy Bossolt. Ben was busy running around as usual 
and didn’t have any hot tips as he hadn’t checked out with the 
horses that morning. The eighth race was run for our group 
on the turf. Oh-you haven’t seen a divot until you see one 
that the horses make when running on the turf. After the 
track we had a nice turnout at Old Orchard Country Club. We 
had cocktails and hors dOeuvres, which was followed by dinner. 
We had the use of the new fairway dining room which overlooks 
the golf course. Jim Murphy had the course looking in good 
condition. The play is very heavy as was evident by the golf­
ers coming in until dark. Yes, it was a nice outing for the 
wives too and I am sure everyone forgot about the golf course 
for a few hours.

Ken Morrison is resting at home after an operation on his 
foot to remove a small bone. Danny Galasso is improving each 
day. We regret the passing of Barney Roth. He was a life 
member, having joined the NJGCSA in 1928. So you can see he 
was a man dedicated to the NJGCSA.

Picatinny Arsenal Meeting: Mike George our host has a full 

day planned for us. It should be very interesting. Please 
return your cards and indicate on it the events you will attend. 
Especially for the bus tour in the morning.
