INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

Miss Pauline Lockett of the Chevy
Chase Club, with eleven strokes on
one hole, went around the long course
one day last week in 102. She had
the hardest part of the journey the
first nine holes, In ~, but with the one
bad hole came back in SO.

Miss Dorothy Owen, one Of the best
of the woman players of the Chevy
Chase Club. has returned to the city
and Is playing golf over the COURSE :.
Jack Burgess while he is very busy
teaching, had time to get around the
registering rounds of rs and II. The
Chevy Chase course probably Is the
hardest to score low on in this part
of the country. Par for the first nine
is 81 and is not easy. for the first hole
Is rated at and requires two good
shots to get home. although now that
the tee has been moved fifty yards
forward it is a little easier than before.
The sixth hole has been heightened a
few yards and. 1t is no easy matter to
obtain a Ave on the hole, for the green
is well trapped. The eighth is one of
the most difficult, requiring three well
placed shots to get to the green. The
par for the first nine holes Is not an
easy proposition.
The Columbia course rapidly is ser-
preaching perfection and now Is almant
ready for the staging OF the annual
fall initiation tournament For the
past week the players have been sap-
preaching to temporary greens as the
process of being top/dressed. and with
a little rain will, no doubt, be In the

announcements for the event are ex-

seventy-flve years of bitter struggle,

which the game has thus sustained

When the Bannockburn Golf Club left
the old course at Chevy Chase Circle to
occupy the new grounds at Cabin John
several members of the Bannockburn
Club, not desiring to move their place
Of play as far away from their homes
as the present location, decided to or
ganize club on the old grounds. Vir-
tually all the members of the old or
ganization had gone to the Cabin John
course. leaving not more than a dozen
players, and these men banded together
and took over the lease of the ground
now occupied by the Kirkside Club.
l, 1913, and about the middle Of May T.
A. Poole and C. C. Miller. Milo H. SUIT
lift and several others organized the
Kirkside Golf Club. SO called on ac-
count of it's proximity to the Church at
Chevy Chase Circle. For the first few
months of the young clubs existence
the men who had swung the yorganiza-
ton had a hard time getting new mem
bers for the club, but within half
year the entries began to come In so
fast that the membership list, which
prior to this time had stood at 100, had
to be increased to 125, and now the
club has a long waiting list and over
forty woman members.
For short time after Bannockburn
left the grounds but one man was de-
tailed to look after the course. but the
greens committee recently obtained the
services of the old Bannockburn green
keeper and his son. In the spring of
the current year a new locker house
with 100 new lockers was added to the
facilities. and now the Kirkside golfers
have some conveniences they lacked
before taking over the course.
The golf course and grounds embrace
about twenty-six acres Of rolling coun-
try just north and a little west of
Chevy Chase Circle. The course has
been wholely changed since the Ban
nockburn Club moved. and now is one

The qualification round for the club
championship ends today at the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club. The
match rounds begin next week.
A cup has been presented to the mem
bers Of the Washington Country Club
turning in the lowest choice score be-
tween now and Thanksgiving day. This
event usually is very popular one, as
four hole in two, and as is ordinarily
the case the finish is very close
Announcement has been made that in
stead Of only four of the Washington
professionals getting into action in a
match over the Bannockburn course a
week from today, Howard Beckett
of the Washington Golf and Country
Club will also play. This Will be the
second time in the history Of local golf
that all five Of the paid players of the
time Beckett. Dave Burgess and
Spencer will play Jack Burgess and
Fred Mcleod on October / over the
Cabin John course. It Is expected by
the men in charge of>the affair that a
large gallery will be on hand to watch
the players.
It is likely that the match will resolve
itself into q question of the best putter,
for practically all the men will play even
through the fair green. and with the green
a little rough the team which gets down
the most Of the reasonably short puts
will win the match.
In the lower half Of the club champion
porbably will have a chance. to oppose
Iee Crandall for the third ime this sea-
son. IN the final of the Henry-Williams
cup event Crandall beat Brown up. In
the upper half the present champion meets
Cunningham, one Of the best players of
champfon's game. for his opponent is
going very well just now and undoubtedly
viii give Beattie q battle. The upper
half includes many Of the best players of
the club in Maniey, Taylor. Cunningham

The putting greens at Kirkside are
noticeably free from crab grass. In
fact, this club has not been visited by
crab grass as much as have some OF
the other organizations, although there
are some rough spots in the greens.
There is no reason why the Kirkside
greens should not be good, for in <pQint

near Washington.
Milton King is developing into one OF
the best golfers of the Washington

golf seriously about year ago. Since
