TNHE Golf Association Of Philadelphia has
i lot Of diversified tournaments during
the season but there is no more popular
event than the father-and-son tourney.
SO far as It is known some one out in Chi
caEo IS responsible for this event, and II
was held out there for several years before
II was introduced here And for five years
no section of the East other than Phladel>
phia he'd this unusual event until two years
ago, when the Metropolitan Golf Association
decided TO put Il on the list provided II was
n success. More than two hundred fathers
and sons entered the first event. and need
less to say the Metropolitan Association
placed It On the regular list Of events the
following year
So far as Philadelphia Is concerned there
never was "a greater list than fifty or sixty
fathers at any time; but when you remem.
Der that the Metropolitan district takes in
every golf course within two hours ride Of
Broadway, IL Is not very hard matter to
find so many fathers and sons, for there
are some seventy-odd clubs in the district
who can furnish anywhere from a couple
Of fathers and sons up 70 others where
they have fathers and sons by the dozen
Daughter Plays
A few years ago an enthusiast from Bala
who has no golIiug son but who has a
daughter that can play good golf persuaded
the golf association TO change the event so
that any combination Of parent and child
wero possible. So the association agreed to
this. But II did not prove a success, for
many of the fathers said they would he
hanged II they would play in any tourna-
ment whore women were permitted TO play.
SO the parent and child tournament did not
last more than year. Tho name was not
a happy one. Some Of the bearded sons did
not like to be dubbed n child and some
Of the fathers were opposed TO the whole
scheme, stock, lock and barrel So that was
the end OF the tournament that promised
much.
1t is the one tournament where father
has n chance to have an alibi, provided son
will let him get away with it, If father Is
the boss he can come into the locker room
and persuade every other father that had
IT not been for his son there would not have
been anything to it. lie can show In a few
minutes just how son spoiled every good
shot father made or how son put him into
such unthiukablc lies that even a supcrman
would have had hard job getting out. But
sons are very uncertain. After one Of these
tournaments one Of the fathers was getting
along nicely with his alibi when the son
broke in and told a few things that gave
the game an entirely different phase, and
as most of those present knew father, they
voted that the son knew what he was talk
ing about.
