INTERESTING GOLF NOTES FROM THE
LOCAL CLUBS

Things in the Middle Atlantic Golf As
| ISOLATION do not seem to be going as
| smoothly as they might, and it would not
be at all surprising if the next annual
| meeting. which will be held in March at
the New Willard. did not turn out to be
| rather stormy one. In the first place.
the Baltimore Country Club objects to
the clause in the bylaws which gives
Washington the annual meeting every
year. In fact. it protested strongly at
last years meeting. but was ruled out
on point of order. 1t intimated that

championships, which also carry the
presidency and secretaryship of the asso-

interest In the associations affairs that
none of its players have entered any of
the events held by the various clubs. and

attention to these matches in other years

from the ninth tee. his ball making
a series of carom shots and ending
up on the eleventh green, which is
almost behind him. The ball started
