Miniature Golf Course Named
‘Jeff-Led Links’: As a result of the contest to secure a desirable name for the
miniature golf course recently opened here, the name “Jeff-Led Links” was
selected by the judges from among those submitted. Miss Nodie Gantt suggested
the name that was selected and will be awarded a month’s pass to the course.
Mrs. Eva Lockwood of St. Augustine, Fla., Mrs. Kerty Dunnan of Monroeville and
Mrs. Robert Jones were the judges in the contest.
The management of the course
is making preparations to stage a golf tournament to decide who are Evergreen’s
best miniature golf players. The qualifying rounds will be played Thursday and
continue through Thursday of next week. Everyone is privileged to enter and a
record of all scores will be kept. For the lowest qualifying score for the week
there will be a prize for both the ladies and men. Intentions of qualifying
must be made before the player’s qualifying round is played. The entrance fee
will be 50 cents for each entrant. There will be a grand prize each for the
