Local Golf Association.
1t was some time ago suggested that
the local golf clubs organize an associ-
alton similar to those which are in ex-
istence in the various States.
1t is suggested that such an association
would very materially aid in increasing
an already large amount of interest in
the sport, would draw the members of
the respective organizations closer to-
gether. and would make it possible to
hold Journeys open to the world on
much larger scale than those held by the
clubs two or three times year.
With such an organization to back the
clubs it would be possible to invite the
holding here Of the Journeys of the
national association upon occasions. and
do other things which neither Of the
clubs single handed would now contem-
plate.
Individual members OF clubs spoken to
upon the subject are enthusiastic over
the suggestion. and express the hope that
such an organization will be formed at
an early date.
Maryland Golfers in Line.
The members of various clubs in Balti-
more and elsewhere in Maryland have
taken up the matter OF forming State
association. and will shortly hold a meet
ing for the purpose.
Mr. NJ. S. Tyson, of the Baltimore
Country Club, said yesterday that the
golfers of the various clubs would be in
a position to hold an Informal meeting
by the middle of next week, 10 consider
the question of forming a State golf
ass ociation, and to make plans for an
annual tourney TO decide upon the State
golf championship.
The golfers are enthusiastic on the
subject, believing that 1t will add ma
terially to the interest Of this already
popular game Some of the members of the
clubs have written to officials of clubs
in other States where there are State
associations. asking for copies OF consti-
tutions and other data relating to the
contests for championships.
At the informal meeting which players
proposed to hold at the Baltimore Coun-
try Club the subject will be discussed,
and it is thought that committees can be
appointed to arrange all the details.
All golfers who have been approached
on the subject have expressed an en-
thusiast!c willingness to aid in the work.
