Golfers Have Different Opinions.

Golfers Have Different Opinions.
Dissatisfaction over the match-play
system adopted by the United States
and Western Golf associations for the
national and western amateur cham
pionships this year, has become mani
fest in some quarters. While the ma
jority of western golfers favor the ac-
ton of the w. G. A. in adopting the
British method for the western event,
it is said number object to the de-
cision of the national body to conduct
the national event under that system
There is now a strong possibility of
special meeting OF the executive
committee being called. According
to the constitution, this can be done
at the request of three associate mem
bers. In discussing the matter a
prominent golfer, who is in favor of
the qualifying round, stated that of
the twenty-six clubs entitled to vote
those likely to uphold the recent ac-
tion of the committee are Onwentsia,
Chicago Golf club Essex County Coun-
try club, Brookline, Myopia. Oakley.
Lakewood, st. Andrews and Baltus-
rol, while those opposed to 1t would
probably be Glenview, Allegheny, Gar
den City, Philadelphia Country club.
Philadelphia Cricket club. Chevy
Chase, Baltimore, Morris County, Tux
edo Huntington Valley and Atlantic
City. The remaining five clubs, which
are on the doubtful list, are Nassau.
Fox Hills, Apawamis, Shinnecock
Hills, Ardsley and Knollwood.
