the plan in most of the bigger clubs in

In Connection with the handicap question
which is now the main subject of conver
Sation among golfers, 1t has often beer
asked at Chevy Chase just why Walter
Tuckerman. who is rated 4 in the ma
tional ratings, should be given in the
club handicaps. Last year the National
Golf Association had him at 3, and still
the club rated him at 8.
Allan Lard did a lucky piece of work
at Chevy Chase recently In d regular
event when he made on the eight
eenth hole in almost pitch darkness
and many players. including Lard. were
| out on the course when the sun wen
| down. Although 1t was too dark fol
| them to see the ball after they hit i
I they kept right on, and whey they
/ reached the eighteenth green Lard wa.
| just on in 2. He made a long putt o.
/ fully twenty feet, and neither he no
his caddy could follow the ball. ant
I l
discovered it in the hole. Par for thi
| hole is 4.
