The golf committee, following the gen
eral plan inaugurated last year, has ar
ranged a series Of events for the first half
Of the golf season. The schedule for the
last hall Of the season, including the con-
test for the presidents cup and the Middle
Atlantic Golf Association tournament will
be issued in July.
Your committee asks for the co-opera-
tion Of every golfer in making the coming
season a successful ono, by entering in
every event possible; and it is especially
urged that players avoid arranging four
| ROnles upon days when single matches are
/ scheduled.
During the season, the committee de-
sires to handicap every player accurately,
using the Metropolitan system based upon
the par Of the course. To do so intelli-
gently and fairly, we must have at least
| FIVE completed cards from each player.
II will be noted that there are five team
matches arranged. In these matches
the play will be on a handicap basis, ao-
cording to the handicaps as posted on the
golf bulletin board.
The players who are left in the semi
final round Of eights, May Doth, will be
| divided between the teams on that day
and their match will count in both con
tests. A prize will be awarded 10 the
player who wins the greatest number OF
individual matches, irrespective of losses,
in this series of team matches.
A silver trophy will be awarded to the
club member who turns in the best card
for the is holes during the season, May
lst to October 3lst, inclusive. The score
must have been made strictly in accord
ance with the rules governing medal play
and attested by the players opponent.
The invitation tournament viii be held
on June 2Sth, 28th and 30th, and the
committee desires to have as large 9
number as possible Of representativ,
players participate.
