GOLF PROSPECTS
BOOM FOR 1920
Local Association Has Enthusi.
astic Observation-Disclosures to
Boom Tourneys-Changes
Suggested and Adopted

Huntington Valley Country Club was
awarded the Philadelphia amateur golf
tourney for the 1920 season at the an
nual meeting of the local golf associa-
tiOn last night. The qualification round
will be reduced TO eighteen holes, and
days.
This met with much favor in the
meeting which was one of the most
satisfactory in the memory of many of
the delegates. Altogether, the next
season promises to be distinctly pros
porous.
1t was announced that handicap list
would be published before April |.
There was considerable discussion as
to ways and means to boost the entrance
lists in the tournaments, particularly
in, the junior championship.
The Importance of this tournament
in bringing the boys out for golf play
was emphasized. On the juniors, it was
pointed out, would develop the neces-
sity of carrying on Philadelphia golf
prestige. 1t was suggested that the
junior championship, which was
awarded to Old York road, should be
divided into three eights, thus giving all
the entries. the stars and inexperienced
alike, chance.
Everything from no fees and free
lunch to personal campaign of all the
possible players in tournaments was
suggested to fatten the entry lists for
the association events, with the matter
being finally turned over to the execu =
tive committee to take the final action.
,nfn ntal,
turned over to the executive committee
which has in mind Il scheme for the
playing of the matches to be divulged at
q later date.
One of the delegates asked the meet
ing if all the prizes for association
events had been awarded to date.
There was considerable discussion on
the question of point scoring in the
interclub championship, comparing the
relative value of the two ball and four
ball matches. At present singles
match counts but half point and n
doubles one point 1t was proposed to
make them count the same, with one
quarter point for holes won. The execu =
tive committee will decide for the best.
The list of officers, as nominated,
was elected.
The treasurer announced sum cx =
ceeding $1,000 in the association Golfers.
Other tournament awards were:
Philadelphia open, Atlantic City
Ancient and Honorable, Philadelphia
Country; Springhaven awarded Pater
and Filius, Huntington Valley ano
Philmont will divide the dinner tourna
ment, with Torresdale getting the Cor
nish Memorial and the Cricket Clnb the
Joseph Henry Patterson. The matter
of playing again the midsummer handi-
cap was left to the executive committee.
Whitemarsh bid for none of the tour
naments, and Merton yielded to Hunt
ingdon Valley for the amateur.
