interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

Allan Lard Of Chevy Chase recently
returned from a business trip to New
York city. He has played practically
no golf during the closed season, but
is planning to get in shape within the
next week or so and hopes to make
this year a banner" one
E. G. Parker, winner Of the July
tournament at Rannockburn. and John
last week, the former winning by .
up and 2. There has been a great deal
of rivalry between these two and the
match was the result of a challenge
however. and Norris found that he had
bitten of more than he could chew"
The green committee at Columbia for
this year will be made up as follows:
Walter s. Harlan; chairman: Alpheus
Doyle and ]. H. Small. Winter will
act as chairman during the absence Of
DR.. Harlan. as he has done heretofore.
meeting of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association last week brought out an
interesting bit of information which
later was taken up for formal discus
sion. 1t was to the effect that although
more than 100 entered the all-day
handicap event on the closing day of
the associations championship tourna
nent, but three cards were turned in.
AS there were three prizes offered
every one who turned in his card re-
ceiyed a trophy. Later, ono or two
who had made better scores than those
posted wanted to turn their cards in
but they were, of course. not allowed
to do SO. As is usually the case in
think their scores are low enough to
qualify them for prize turn them in,
and in this particular case all of the
scores made were exceptionally poor
with the result that several who failed
to turn in their scores made better
marks than the prize winners. This
matter was discussed later in the even
ing and was finally left for the execu-
tive committee to dispose of, the con-
sensus Of opinion being that all cards
events. the committee to hold them
and not post them until all are in.
This probably is what will be decided
upon by the committee.
