Completion of the new club house with the opening of the tourney was a significant feature and Casper club. members received many com- plimentary expressions from out-of: town players and visitors on suc- cess achieved in completing such a fine course and club house during a few short months. The club's ap- preciation for progress shown found its expression in the gift of a set of elegant clubs to George Camp. bell, club president, whose work and enthusiasm have been a great factor in bringing plans’ to material- ization. Greater progress in golf has been made during the last year, both in Casper and Wyoming, than during any previous year. The year has seen the completion of several courses in leading towns and com- petition in the state tourney re- flected playing improvement to a marked degree.
