The handicap committee at the Wash
ington Country Club has quite task
in front of it. as 1t plans to revise the
club handicaps every two weeks. The
committee is seriously thinking Of adopt
ing a plan similar to that followed at
Chevy Chase last year. The golf com
mittee at Chevy Chase held weekly
handicap events, and all those who en-
tered were compelled to turn in their
cards or be penalized 2 strokes. This en-
abled the committee to get every score
made by player except in an individual
match and as a result the handicaps at
Chevy Chase are about as good and fair
as it is possible to make them. If the
plan now contemplated by the handicap
committee at Washington Country Club
is adopted. every entrant in the Satur-
day Sweepstakes will be compelled
to turn in his card or be penalized one
stroke. In this way the committee be
lieves that 1t can get line on the vari-
Gus players much sooner than 1t ordf-
narily would If 1t waited for them to turn
in cards or depended upon hearsay.
DIR. Walter S. Harlan, chairman Of the
green committee at Columbia, left Mon
day for Poland Springs. Me-. for a two
month vacation. During his absence, AL
pheus Winter will act as chairman of this
important committee.

In addition to this, Davidson also holds
the record at the Columbia Country Club
with Il. He has been playing occasional
ly at the Washington Suburban Club and
it would not surprise his friends if he
didn't set a new mark for that course
before he gets through.
Donald Ball. the local pros who com
peted in the open tournament at Shaw
nee-on-DelaNare, returned Friday. Their
poor showing was quite a disappointment
to their followers as well as themselves.
Last year MSLeod tied with Edward
Ray and Tom Mcnamara for sixth place,
with Sargent just outside of the money.
and it was expected that both of them
would do much better this wear Ar they
have been playing their best game. Nc
I4eod finished this years event In seven
teenth place with Sargent No. 20 Ball
having dropped out at the end of the
third round. There We're eight prizes, and
Mcleod with 327 was - strokes behind
the winner and twelve strokes outside of
the money, while Sargent's $50 placed
him % strokes behind the winner and
fifteen outside of the money Both PLAYED
cratic games. each having one good
round and three bad ones.
Arthur Shelton secretary of the Column
bia Country Club and one of its most
prominent players. has been In New York
during the past week on business He is
expected back i'll day or SO.
The usual Saturday afternoon event
was omitted at Chevy Chase last week
but was SO badly missed by the PLAYERS
that another was arranged YESTERDAY ami
these events probably will be held
throughout the summer. Next Saturday
an eighteen-hole medal play competition
is scheduled.
Eddie Eynon turned in the best score
of the year for the Columbia Country
Club course last week when he made a
49, the card for which follows:
Out Z 3 43s
In ....3 ) 3 5 ) t35-73
He did not miss a shot throughout the
round. Notwithstanding the fact that he
is charged with on the fourth hole.
On this hole. he had all kinds of trouble
his ball moving while he was addressing
it and rolling under log. and this is
what accounts for the extra strokes. Co.
lumbia gives a prize to the player turn
ing in the best score over its course
each year and this undoubtedly would
take 1t. but for the fact that it was not
made in an authorized event John
