INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

shot well. and the ball reached the far
bank Of the ditch. Seventy yards from
the green, and confronted with the

shot took professional accuracy and
judgment to execute.

cations of the Washington Golf and
Country Club, captained by Earl Wheel

on the Blue team was not on hand his IS
place being taken by Howard Beckett,

might have been a tie. Since the par
OF this course was lowered to &c no
