Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated August 14, 1961 reads "The highly publicized costume golf party at Woodland Hills Country Club yesterday was a tremendous success and pictured are several of the members who took part in the whacky fun-day on the fairways. Golf, by the way, was incidental and players go back to normal apparel from now on. Photo, upper right, shows a foursome dressed as the 'Flintstones' caught in the rough. They are, from left, Mrs. Martha Weaver, Buck Weaver hitting golf ball with stone-age 'club,' Mrs. Jean Kapter and Alex Kapter. Photo, left, shows 'prisoners of the bogey trail' Mrs. and Mr. Ralph Hill, while photo at far left [pictured] shows Mrs. Dorothea 'Clara Boo' Bruno being shot down for missing fairway shot by 'Elliot Mess.' Guess who?" Elliot Mess is Valley Times sports writer Pete Kokon. See images 00162604 through 00162606 for all photos in this series.
