! There is a move on foot by the Hudson River
Golf Association admit clubs located in counties
all along the river. At present membership in the
organization is limited TO clubs in cities, villages
or towns adjoining the river and the clubs belong

Golf and Country, Powelton, Nyack Country, Co
| lumbia County Country and Rockland Country
Should the proposed extension OF territorial limits
| go into effect all the golf clubs in Westchester
County would be eligible join. As the county
/ contains such well known organizations as Apa-
wants. St Andrews, Knollwood, Ardsley, Fairview'
Dunwoodie WykagyI Swanoy, Century and Scars
dale, can readily be that their admission
would be a decided acquisition. The counties that
would be represented under the proposed extension
are Putnam, Orange, Cister, Greene, Columbia
WestchesteT Rockiand and Dutchess.
Another proposal is to dc away with the series of
team matches and substitute one-day tournaments,
I the latter be held Saturdays. This would
give each club chance entertain every other
