Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-02-27


- VEN though the tournament
l. schedule about Washington
for 1927 is not yet complete
IL and cannot be final until the
chairman of greens ana golf
committees arrange their tourney
dates by conference, the list OF formal
affairs as tentatively outlined by them
appears to- be much the same tumble
of events this year that 1t has been
in the past.
Notwithstanding efforts of the DIS
trict Golf Association, intelligentiy
directed and sineelerly made, to re-
duce the number of events and at the
same time cut down the number or
entrants, there appears this year 10 De
no diminution of tournaments ABOUT
the Capital, with the probable excep,
ton that the Middle Atlantic Ger
Association championship Will not go
to a Washington club.
The executive committee of the DIS
trict Golf Association will meet temef-
row night and may discuss informally
tournament date assignments, but no
formal action can be taken until the
ehairnen of the club committees
gather week from tomorrow night
at the Racquet Club for the annual
meeting of the association. when tour
nament dates are usually ratified.
There may he some discussion at the
annual meeting of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association at the Willard next
Saturday night.
Tourney Schedule.
The tournament schedule, as ten
tatively outlined by committee chair
men, follows Washington Golf ana
Country Club, MAY 4, 5, 6, Z; Chevy

bia Country Club, June .: D: 10. IL
Congressional Country Club, June y,
%, "a, rs.
This schedule makes no provision
during May for the Spring analrs Oh
Indian Spring Golf Club and Town
and Country Club which are usually
held in that month. Both have
favored an early Spring date. Either,
era nted the rest of the schedule is
approved, may take the last week IN
April, placing the other affair the
last week end in May.
chairman Hoover of Indian spring
golf committee said last night ne
would like the tournament OF MS
club to follow that of Washington
Golf and Country Club, which by long
standing custom has usually oeen
granted the privilege of opening the
season, CO..
But Chairman Thompson OF CheVN
Chase Clubs golf committee has ten
tatively arranged the tournament OF
his club for the second week in May
and the Baltimore Country Club, with
dates selected prior to last Christ
mas. has chosen May 1920 and Il
OF course. a local tournament coult
he held while Baltimore was holding
it's affair. but some of the interes
would he sure to be gone from the
local tourney, since many OF WASH
ington's leading golfers make thu
Baltimore tourney one of the higf
spots of their season.
The Middle Atlantic Association
will doubtless want June date fol
it's tourney, erowding that month full
of big affairs. The national open viii
he held at Oakmont, near Pittsburgh
June IA, Is and 16, and probably al
least two of Washington's outstand

and George j. Voigt-will attempt u
qualify for this event, when the sec

June 6.
A newcomer in the tournament fielC
about Washington will come in this

tournament of Bannockburn Col
Club.
The way the toureey schedule abou
Washington shapes up this year. a
