mier golfng expert, met defeat yesterday
at the hands OF Miss Pauline Mackay OF
the Oakley club OF Boston on the first
days play of the women's national golf
championship by up and to play. Miss
Mackay is a young golfer and, although
II was not brilliant, the victory was mono
the less deserved.
BY the defeat Miss Dod is out Of the
championship. Miss Mackay's victory was
due 20 her ability TO take advantage OF
Miss Dod's mistakes. The result was In
doubt up to the 18th hole at which point
Miss Mackay was ! up on her distin-
guished opponent Miss Mackays opening
drive for the 18th hole was at least l1O
yards and the sphere rolled within two
yards OF the cup. Miss bod followed, but
fclaffed her tee shot and the ball landed
on the far edge OF the bank. She played
her second short and her approach putt
landed her a yard from the hole Miss
Mackay then took the hole In two more
strokes and won the match.
