GOLFERS KICKING
ABOUT COURSES
Claim Open Championships
Are Awarded to Inferior
Links-Change Certain.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The chief
topic discussed among golfers yesterday
and Saturday was the recent open
championship at Englewood, y. J. That
the title was won by a sound steady
golfer was generally admitted, but that
the links are Of a character calculated
10 test all the qualities which cham
pion should possess vas question in
vari bly, answered in the negative.
In fact, the feeling prevailed among
players thoroughly posted on such mat
tiers that EngleWOod is not a champion
ship course. And this led 10 the com
ment that, with few exceptions. the
fourteen open championships played
here so far have been decided over
courses unworthy a meeting OF such i'm
portance.
In fact, the attitude of golf officials
toward open championships, especially
IN the metropolitan district. is that any
course is good enough. bu. # the same
sentiment prevailed as regard, amateur
titles there would be a frghtful up-
roar.
Change Must Come.
Sooner or later, IT is inevitable that
another system than that existing will
force itself 20 be adopted and this par
t,culariy applies to the three national
championships. The most reasonable
solution suggested is that the Metro
poiitau, New England and other sec
tonal organizations each appoint
committee from its members to pro-
nCunce what links Is suitable in every
respect for a championship, these Sc

In every section Of The country there
are courses the members of which

win a reputation which is utterly I'M
warranted. II is SO in the metropolitan
district, and IL is the same throughout
the country. a restraining hand is sore
" needed. and to relieve the L. s. G.
A. from the burden OF opposing or sup
porting factions in the various sec
