PERFECT PLANS
FOR GOLF MEET
Games to Be Played Over
Course of New Haven
Country Club.

Everything is shaping up wen for
the nineteenth annual championship
of the Connecticut Golf Association
which will be played over the course
of the New Haven Country club on
June II, % and 20. The schedule has
been so arranged that every player
who enters, whether winning or los
ing, will have some event to play dur
ing each of the three days of the
tournament. The annual goling din
ner will be held on the Thursday night
of the tournament. $50
Entries for the tourney must be in
the hands of E. B. Morris, care of
The Travellers Insurance Co., Hart
ford, through the secretary of the
players club, before Saturday noon,
June %, and each entry must be ac-
companied by a minimum entrance
fee of So, which will admit to all
events.
The executive committee has voted
that all fees shall go to the Red
Cross. In order that the subscription
to the Red Cross may be a substantial
one, it is suggested that the entry list
entrants as do not propose to play will
state upon catering. Entrance fees in
| excess of the minimum, 81, will be
| gladly accepted for the cause speci-
fed ALL winners will receive medals
in bronze, or other tokens as the COM
mittee has deemed it expedient to
| keep expenses this year at mini
| mum.
In the last few tourna ments, in
! view of the large number of entrants,
the executive committee has found it
necessary in the qualifying round to
| limit the 36-hole matches to the
championship and to the team play.
The committee hardly expects such a
large entry list this year, consequently
has assumed thot it will be possible,
that the qualifying round shall be, for
IS holes to all contestants, especially
in view of the additional hour of day
light available.
The executive committee. however,
reserves the right, if the entry list
proves so large as to render the fol-
lowing out of the above program inn
practicable, to limit the qualifying
| round to IS holes to those who com
plete the first IS holes above a speci-
fed score; such score to be announc-
ed by the committee on Thursday
morning; members of teams, however,
to play So holes without qualification
as to score. In this event the medal
play handicap listed for Thursday,
| June 81, will be limited to / 8 holes
for all ntestants-first Is holes only
| to score.
The following are the events and
the prizes:
Thursday, June 81.
a. m.-Qualifying round, IS holes
for championship, for consolation,
bunker cup, etc. Contestants may

the qualifying round will also count
for the Connecticut Golf Association
club team championship, for which

be held until the next championship
