distinction as a golfer of note dur
ing his apprentice days in Sussex.
Spencer came to the United States
about six years ago, being attached
to small club in Connecticut He
came to the Town and Country Club
in 1915 and made good record as
player and greenkeeper while there.
During the time he was attached to
the Town and Country Club Spencer
played in many exhibition matches
about Washington with Fred Mcleod
of the Columbia Country Club, Jack
Chase Club; Dave Burgess, formerly
at the Bannockburn Golf Club, and
Howard Beckett. a predecessor at the
Washington Golf and Country Club.
Spencer showed himself during the
course of these exhibition matches
to be a very steady, though not bril-
liant, player and has always been able
to hold his own in matches in fast
company. In one match played for
the Red Cross before a large gallery
at the Washington Golf and Country
Club he far outstripped the other
professionals and was the means of
bringing victory to his side, scoring
70 under adverse conditions.
Spencer has a good, straight, long
game, plays his irons we'll and excels
particularly in the short game. His
pitch and run shots from forty or
fifty yards are declared to be among
the best in the south, and there is
not q better putter in the south than
he. Spencer will probably make his
home near the club in Virginia.
