INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

Although tine President has played i
great deal of golf since his inauguration
but few have seen him play or nave any
idea as to how good he really Is. Many
members Of the various clubs have been
heard from time to time to make IN
Quiries about the Presidents game, but
none has been able to answer them be-
cause Of the fact that DIR. Cary 7. Gray
son. the White House physician, is about
the only person who has played With him.
He and the President spent an afternoon
at the Columbia Country CLUB last week
and played a full eighteen-hole match,
the physician losing, 1 down.
