Invitations to 1900 clubs the country
over have been sent out from the sccre-
tary's office of the United States Golf
Association anent the Liberty tourna-
ment on Independence Day. Clubs in
tending to cooperate would do well to
make their requests for Red Cross
medals and certificates at once rather
than wait until after the event has taken
place Much delay will be saved If that
plan Is followed. More than 400 clubs
took part in the tournament a year ago.
when upward Of $4,000 was raised The
association has hopes of exceeding that
figure this time.
out at tho EXmoor Country Club the
officials have hit upon n novel idea. At
practically every event held by the or
ganizatiOn money is turned over to the
Red Cross or some other relief fund {;
but those in charge recognized that in
order to keep their members in condition
and also to stimulate the game some
thing out of the ordinary must be ar
ranged for. The result Is the Sunset
tournaments" and the trophies provided
for the events are championship belts.
The classes are divided az follows:
a, handicaps up to inclusive, allotted
/ -E, l~al. N
caps to Ia inclusive. one gold and one
silver belt; C, handicaps Is to 81 in
elusive, one gold and two silver belts,
and d. handicap 90 and over one gold
and two silver belts
The players making the two lowest
medal scores in both a and b and the
three lowest in c and d will be awarded
temporary possession of the belts until
other winners are created. The cham
pionship CONSISTS of eight events. two
each month at eighteen holes medal
play, the final to be decided or Septem-
ber 2S. In each event the player MAX
| ing the lowest score in his class receives
nine points, the second lowest seven
points. the third five points and the
| fourth four points. Following the
event on September % the man having
the highest total number of points in all
classes becomes the owner of the class
golf belt, the man having the second
highest gets the silver belt. and the
player in Glass c and D having the
third highest becomes the possessor of a
silver belt.
Points Given
Each player that turns in a score gets
three points for attendance. and on the
Saturdays and Sundays when there are
no belt competitions scheduled any
player has the right to challenge the
man in his class having the next num-
bcr of points greater than his own tc
an eiehteen-hole match play round
points to be figured on the Nassau sys
tenn. Should player win both mines
and the match he is credited with Y
! no!nts. and the losers standing remain!
