Hot weather does not diminish the ardor
OF the golfers at tho old st. Andrews club
for, in addition to the schedule announced
for August, a members sweepstakes is on
for tomorrow Competitors may start at
any time up to g +. NJ. The latter clause
seems to he an iniudicious one, and not
warranted by the trend OF opinion among
the best known golfers. At other clubs, no
tably the nyker Meadow. Crescent A. c.,
Essex County. Baltusrol. and Morris Coun-
~ Clubs, where the players are professional
and business men OF prominence, the rule
is that in such handicaps the last minute
of starting is four o'clock in the afternoon.
This rule enables all the players to finish
before dark. The St. Andrews rule cannot
be justified, except by the fact that the
same rule is in force at old St.
Andrews, in Scotland But there the twi-
light lasts until nearly nine o'clock. and to
have q rule that copies the Scottish one is
an instance of conservatism that the lead
ing players in this country say they cannot
endorse.
