New Jersey during the present
week Is the invitation tournament OF
the Montclair Golf Club. which will be
played on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. notwithstanding the fact that
the dates conflict with those Of the
Staten Island championship, a very
large entry list has been received, and
provision has been made for o six
teens to qualify for the Montclair, We
roma, Essex and buffers cups. There
will be eight cups in each Of the
four divisions, and a runner-up
prize in the Montclair cup division.
There will be a gold medal for the low
gross score in the qualifying round OF
eighteen holes on Thursday, and a gold
medal for the best gross score in the
handicap on Saturday. while there Is a
silver cup for the best net score.
The Montclair Club has adopted the
. Pinehurst plan of wedding out the
sleepers by classifying the competitors
for each sixteen. For instance, players
with Metropolitan handicaps ranging
from 1 to 8, will compete only to quail
ify in the first sixteen for the Mont
clair cup; players with handicaps from
10 to IL will be eligible to compete for
the Verona cup, offered for this second
sixteen. The eligible men for the Es-
sex cup. offered to the third sixteen,
will be those with handicaps ranging
from 10 to. Is, while all with handicaps
of 16 or more will be eligible to COM
pete to qualify In the fourth division
for the buffers cup. All entries must
be accompanied by a certificate from
the club secretary, as to players best
three cards, and a card of the course
showing par, or the player must quail
ify in the first sixteen.
Under this system If a player does
not qualify in his own class he is down
and out right at the start. This puts
an end to a tricky first sixteen man
playing poorly in the qualifying round
in order to drop back into the second,
third or fourth sixteen, where he will
have the cup ''cinched" before the
match play begins. There are men
who have made a practise OF this
trick who have been singled out and
barred from fixture tournaments. There
is a case on record in this country
where a first division man played in
such hard luck in the qualifying round
that he was relegated to the fourth
division, and naturally won the prize
with the utmost ease, and on the last
day d~umfounded the entire field of
competitors by winning both the net
and gross score prizes in the handi-
cap.
The Essex County Country Club,
which was very active in golfing cir
cles during the early part of this
s,@-tL xx,hao tho Nav, 1arSax, Gtotc
| Golf Association championship was
held over it's picturesque efghteen-hole
course, June 2, 3 and A., will, again be
the scene of activity about the middle
of July, as the Freight Traffic Golf As
ISOLATION will play its annual midsum-
mer tournament July II, 10 and IA, over
the Essex county links. 1t is some
thing unusual for the sedate Essex
County Country Club to show 80 much
hilarity, as there is generally a lapse
of two or three years between tourna-
ments on this course outside Of club
fixtures.
