THE eighteenth hole at Coffin
4 golf course today:

TINE eighteenth hole at Coffin
4 golf course today:
Mrs. M. J. Abbott, 576o Central
Ave, playing her own daughter
Elizabeth, 16, in the first round
of the women's city golf tourna-
ment.
Mother and daughter on the
green in 3 each.
The largest gallery Of the day
held breathless by the dramatic
situation.
The daughter sinks a long putt
for a 4.
The mother takes a deep breath,
elances quizzically at her talented
offspring, cvershoots by six feet
and finally loses the match with
a 5.
"Why. mother" shrilled the
daughter, Indignantly, Il really
believe you did that on purpose"
TINE mother glanced reproving-
i ly at the daughter and heat
edly replied:
It did not. Buff, I'd have liked
nothing better than to have beat
en- you on the nineteenth green"
The crowd closed in. Mother
and daughter stood facing each
other. Then they smiled.
I'D rather not hear any more
about it," said Elizabeth with a
laugh.
mo, by all means let's not
argue about it," said the mother
and turned to beam proudly as
the gallery congratulated the
budding star.
And so the mother entered the
consolation flight, while the
daughter prepared to carry the
honor of a whole family of golfers
into the second round.
Elizabeth is the daughter of M.
]. Abbott, president of Avalon
Country Club. Two years ago she
played a few holes Of golf. Last
year she went out a few times and
Roy Smith, Avalon professional,
urged her parents to give her les
sons because of her apparent
natural golfing ability. Smith
made her his protege.
n
THIS is Elizabeth's first tour
L nament. Despite the fact that
an accident of the drawings
paired her with her mother, who
is one of the best women golfers
in the city, she fought through the
eighteen holes with the GOODNESS
of a veteran.
The youngster averaged 200
yard drives on every hole, offset
ting her mothers great skill on
short shots and on the green.
Repeatedly the mother sank
ten-foot puts, which made it all
the harder for the daughter to
believe that her parent had not
stepped aside deliberately to let
her pass on the final green.
The daughter was one up on
the mother at the end of the first
nine. The two kept up running
chatter throughout the match.
The daughter made the par 8
sixth hole in 2.
"Now, how could you beat
that?" Mrs. Abbott asked of the
gallery.
On the next hole the daugh-
ter missed a two-foot putt.
"You can't win championships
that way" advised the mother.
A few minutes later the mother
bobbled a one-foot putt on the
ninth hole.
after all these years, you
shouldn't do that" commented
Elizabeth.
