Il does indeed seem that q
prophet is not without honor
save in his own neck of the
woods.
Washington golfers, through
their organization, the District
Golf Association, put thumbs
down on George J. Voigt, than
who a finer player necer sal
lied forth in quest of honors;
and strictly as a Washingtonian.
Voigt is under suspicion here
of not being a simon pure anna
teur. He is perfectly satisfac-
tory over in Maryland and in
Virginia and other out-of-town
points where he has competed
this year, but at home we,
through our spokesman, the
District Golf Association, say he
is not all he claims to be.
Certainly Voigt is all he
claims to be in the matter of
playing, and if playing and
competition is not the essense
of golf, then what is-lccker-
room gossip, veranda chatter,
office-hour Boosting or the dis
cussion as to how a golfer earns
his livelihood.
This column cannot see the
diplomacy of the District Golf
Association putting the bee on
Voigt in mid-season. That Or
ganization has NOT just now
had Voigt "under observation"
1t has been trying to get up the
courage to do what it has for
some time. Voigt was sched-
uled to have the bug placed on
him before the spring season
opened, but weak hearts inter-
feared and they let him get
away to an amateur status in
1927 and just when he is about
to step into the national ANA
teur championship with a more
than good chance of winning
and bringing q title here to
match Tommy Armour's-in
steps the gang with the cry Of
''foui!"
If Voigt is deriving his liveli-
hood directly or indirectly from
golf, he has not started to do it
overnight. He is making q liv-
ing right now in exactly the
same way he has for many,
many months.
Why then, does the Associa-
tion wait to squeal on one of
its sons until Voigt has built
himself a reputation locally and
throughout the country; a repu-
tation which, coupled with
Armour's, is calling the atten-
ton of America and to the
world that the city of Wash
ington is a great golfing center.
This is no defense Of Weight.
His situation is we'll known by
everyone in Washington, but
even at that we wouldn't like to
be the lawyer who would have
to prove that George isn't an
amateur. This is, however, an
observation on the time that the
District Golf Association has
chosen to throw doubt around
Voigt. We believe if any ques-
ton about Voigt was to be
raised, it should have been done
last winter, or next; not at the
time when he will be thrown
into jeopardy in the national
amateur championship and per-
haps be thrown very much off
his game by the annoyance.
It should not surprise us if
there isn't some jealousy some
where down the line in re. to
Voigt's golf and the number of
tournaments he has cleaned up.
Competition in many fields has
been known to become so keen
