M Washington has the lowest
vi handicap In the city. AL
i though he is rated at 3 in
the Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation ratings, the new handicap list
Of the Washington Golf and Country
Club places the Georgetown man at
scratch.
He is the only player in a club around
Washington who is given that distinc-
ton. Roland r. Mackenzie of Colunl-
bia plays with a handicap OF two
strokes, and two players at Manor have
handicaps of three, while Page Hufty,

All the holiday traditions of golf
were fulfilled yesterday. 1t rained for
a brief space. and hole in one was
made. A golfing holiday is never com.
plete without bit of rain and a hole
in one. The rain didn't spoil the golf
and the hole in one came on the Sec
ond at Washington-an affair of 155
yards. Walter c. Henderson got it
with rnashie-in a match with his
son Fletcher and A. B. and Bonn Gil
bert. Fletcher Henderson had a one
on the same hole less than a month
ago. so the Henderson family is now
entitled TO double armful of ginger
ale and pipes and golf balls and other
things that are given away to the lucky
fellows who hole them from tee.
IT was all part of big golf holiday,
which found many score members of
all the clubs participating in special
events. Out at Chevy Chase triple
tie resulted In the annual competition
for the Victor Kaufman Memorial
down to par in the handicap affair, as
follows: Richard p Davidson. E. Q.
Wagenhorst and DR.. L. B. T. johnson.
O. L. veerhoff's idea Of running the
miniature tournament through the 10
holes without splitting up the course
worked out admirably at Washington
with his aid. He stood on the tnir-
tcenth tee and saw 10 it that extra
hole matches in the second round and
consultations were properly taken care
Of and everything run of as 1t should
have been done.
