Bill Wilson's Sensible Cup
One Of the finest golf cups that has
ever been offered is the William b. Will
son Cup at Bala. This cup was given
by the Director of Public Safety and is
based on club handicaps. |: is vir-
tually a permanent trophy, for it must be
won three times before the winner can
take it home. This Is the first year it
has been contested for and the first six
teen has been fighting 1t out for the
past month. The members qualified not
on their gross but their net scores and
George Klauder, the club champion, and
Bill are in the second fight. The final
lists for the cup are D. w. Pinney and {.
| NJ. Brouse.
1t is run on very sensible plan. II
It were a scratch affair it would last
about three seasons and George Klauder
would be the probable winner. Putting
the tournament on a handicap basis
gives every member of the club chance,
as every match is played according to
club handicaps and the lowest rated
player must concede strokes on certain
holes to the highest rated player. This
type of tournament Is becoming more
and more popular in the clubs for on a
scratch bass such tournaments are won
by any one of four or five men and in
some clubs the scratch player is in a
class by himself, just as klauder is at
Bala.
