FACING
SEPTEMBER
ACTIVITY
Many Big Championship and
Invitation Events
Planned.

In years gone by the month Of
June was considered the best time
for holding championship and invi-
tation golf tournaments, and often
there were ais many as three events
listed each week end. OF late, how
ever. the pendulum seems to have
swung toward September as the
ideal period for golf, ana that
month in 1924 will without doubt
be the busiest OF the year, IL pres
emit indications are to be taken as
a criterion.
To begin with, the national anna
teur championship tournament to
Club links win be scheduled In Sep
tenber, probably the second or
third week. Then there is the
United States Seniors Golf Associa-
ton yearly reunion at Apawamis,
which will be held coincident with
the international match with Cam
ada. This meeting, so it is under
stood, will be held the week of
September Is, while the amateur
may be listed for September % and
the following days.
Now comes word that the WON
ems committee of the United States
Golf Association has requested that
their championship for 1924 be
staged in September, as October Is
considered too late. The women's
committee is made up Of Mrs.
Arnold Jackson, of Greenwich; Mrs.
David Gaut, Mrs. Farlin Ball, Mrs.
Caleb F. Fox, and Mrs. Charles r.
Rowley.
It is barely possible that the
week beginning September 20 will
be their selection. With three such
tournaments as the national anna
teur, national women's, and seniors
meeting all listed for September
thus early in the game, it looks as
though that month would set q
record.
