Columbia Golfers Make
Lowest Gross and
Net Scores.

In the first open tournament OF its
existence Bannockburn Golf Club en-
tertained some of Washington'S premier
golfers on It's links at Chevy Chase yes
ter,ay afternoon.
Representatives from the three local
golf clubs competed. among these were
the best men of their respective clubs.
Interest was increased by the fact that
the Chevy Chase Golf Club had entered
men who were to compete with its
rivals. namely the Columbia Golf Club.
Special significance was attached 10
this, as the members ct the Columbia
Club were DESTROYS of wiping out the
defeat administered to them recently in
their tournament by the Chevy Chase
Club. Not only did they succeed in
doing this. but they did It in fine shape.

playing was very good up TO the twelfth
hole. Here he slumped and his ball

Fast Greens.
The good scores made were in way
caused by the fast green's which are
at present in excellent condition. This
tournament was an innovation, and as
Il was attended with so much success,
Il is most probable that the tournament
will be an annual event. Yesterdays
play marked the wind-up Of the tourna-
ments, and much of the active playing
in the club for the season It IS thought
however, that late next month the club
will hold q ladies' tournament, which
will decide the WOmen's championship
Of the District.
