In the amateur championship or the
United States az Apawamis in 1911
the average score Of the first 81 play
crs i'm the qualifying round was 19.5,
while at Wheaton last year the aver
age was 1921
Now on the face of the scores re-
turned IL would appear that the aver
age at Montgomery was only stroke
and a half worse than the golf played
al Wheaton last year, while II we
look only al the average scores made
this is true. Suu We must take into
consideration the fact that Wheat
on rs "a harder course to play than
Montgomery, and If the Southern had
been played at Wheaton instead of
Montgomery the average would have
been several strokes more. Then, too,
there Is the fact that the difference OF
"A stroke and q half average. when II as
down al the so mark, is far greater
difference than it appears
But look at it from whatever angie
YOU desire the fact remains that the
last seven years has brought forth a
considerable Improvement i'm the gen
eral play of our players, and while We
have not vet attained the proficiency
of the Eastern and Western golfers,
still the difference is not near 50 great
as it was few years ago.
