SWINGS OVER TO THE THREE
POINT SYSTEM OF TEAM
SCORING.

TuXedos unexpected support of the movement 10
establish new system Of team scoring has given
fresh impetus TO the plan. 1t not generally
supposed that the Tuxedo golfers would favor any
other system than their own. So general was this
belief that the of its advocacy of the Nassau
scheme has caused considerable surprise. The
Tuxedo club adopted the point system three
years ago and has held TO il ever since. When the
movement 10 introduce the three point plan in
vogue at Nassau started the fear was ex-
pressed that its introduction would lead 10 a split
between the two factions. Now. however, Tuxedo
has out strongly in favor of the rival scheme
and Bruce Price has gone far TO address a
letter the captains of leading clubs in this
tion calling their attention to its merits
The three point system allows a point to the
winner of the nine holes going out. point to the
winner of the nine holes coming in and another
point the eighteen the entire match This,
therefore makes a win OF three points, and the in
terest of the game is preserved all through the
struggle and up the very end. II begins IN the
fight for the first nine is continued in the struggle
for the second nine, and is intensified all through
by the bigger and eliminating contention for the
match itself of eighteen holes and the fight is not
really over. where the players are anywhere evenly
matched until the last hole is played out This
system was tried several times at Tuxedo last sea-
son and il was the general opinion that II was
eminentlv fair, answered the conditions better than
the full point system, and made match game
more interesting than any of the other ways OF
making the score -, A..
