pete on BFightwOOd Avenue Links
During Next Three Days-Despite
Rain Course Is I'm Good shape.

A representative contingent Of local
golfers and a liberal sprinkling OF visit
ing players will go over the course Of the
Columbia Golf Club at Brightwood to-day
in the first qualification round OF the an
nuai open spring tournament OF that club.
Sixty entries were received last even
ing and those out Of town players who
have not yet reported viii be received
at the club house this morning and paired
before the first round begins at $50
o'clock.
The links are IN such excellent condi-
ton that the steady rain yesterday had
little effect upon them and. according TO
those who have covered the course this
spring, the greens are exceptionally fast
and should develop some high scores in
the qualification stroke competition to-
day.
Two Holes Lengthened.
The lengthening Of the second hole BY
twenty-seven yards and the Iengthening
Of the third hole by twenty yards makes
both these two full shot holes. This i'm
provement, coupled with the changed
location Of the tee at the sixth hole, az
ford the golfers better facilities for
tournament competition. The course as
now laid out practically meets the regula-
ton requirements OF the links for national
competition.
The pairings are being made and tho
tournament, conducted under the auspices
Of the greens committee. of which T.
Pliny Moran is chairman, and Capt J.
c. Davidson an ez-officio member. A S.
