and fatiguing play. In fact, most OF them gave
decided evidence OF being "overgolfed" TO the
technical phrase. But there nothing lacking
in their enthusiasm however much there may have
been wanting in their form. The tournament was
played over course OF thirty-sx holes. eighteen
OF which were completed In the morning and the
rest after luncheon.
