The sixth annual midsummer handicap
| tournament of the Golf Association oil
Philadelphia will be played at the Phil
mont Country Club on Tuesday, July 20.
| This event is one of the most popular on
the Golf Associations schedule, and al
ways brings out large field.
This is due to the fact that every play
| er entered has a chance to win, for the
| idea of a handicap tournament is to allow
| the player who travels at clip just a
bit above his regular speed to lead the
| field. Last year Howard w. Perrin won
| the prize for low gross score, and hVe
| players, Perrin. F. II. Mahan G. B. Cal
vert, w. K. Yarrow and P. l.. Corson
tied for low net. This made play-oft
/ necessary, and that resulted in another
tie between Yarrow and Calvert. In the
second play-off Calvert was forced to
concede Yarrow seven strokes, too great
| a handicap to be overcome.
| This five cornered tie proves that the
work of the Handicap Committee is well
done, for all Ave players had different
handicaps. Perrin was rated at three
strokes. Calvert five Mahan nine, Var
row r. and Corson Is.
AS usual. the prizes in the event al
Philmont on Tuesday will be for low gross
and low net scores.
on Friday of the following week, Jul,
| 30, the fourth Ancient and Honorable
| tournament will be played at the Merlol
| Cricket Club, Haverford. This event
open only to members of clubs affiliated
| with the Golf Association of Philadelphia
| who have reached the age of 50 years

| medal play, with prizes for low gross an,

| in August. The dates for the annual In
| vitation tournament OF the Baia Col
