just short of 300 yards in
length Weyl stood up on the first tee
of the 293-yard first hole at the Town
and Country Club. swung his mighty
driver, and the ball scared high in the
air, to drop just past the cedar trees
that cut off poor drive, and roll onto
the green within a foot of the hole.
Meanwhile Marc Goldnamer his part
ner in the match, stared in amaze
ment as he watched the tremendous
arc of Weyl's mighty tee shot, and
swung his driver in approved Southpaw
eyle in the hope he might get one near
~ as close.
Weyl's eagle on the first hole at
Town and Country is one of the few
ever recorded on that difficult 293-
yard stretch. and the first to be made
this year. BY all the gods of golf, he
might just as we'll have secured an ace,
for the ball finished straight in line
with the pin, and only foot short.
Another near ace was recorded on
another local course last Monday when
Fred McLeod's iron tee shot on the 1861
yard fourteenth hole at Indian Spring
cup and dead in line with 1t. That's
me-" Mcleod said, usually accurate,
but always short"

The golf committee of the Maryland
Country Club has quaint old Balti-
more custom which consists of hiding
the scores made by the players on the
first day of two-day qualifying round
under a bushel, and not revealing them
until the complete qualification round
Of two days is over. Scores made today
by the seven Washingtonians who are
scheduled to play in the first days
qualifying round will not be posted
until late tomorrow afternoon, Wneil
the balance of the field has gotten
under way.
This move is made. the golf commit
tee of the club explains, to make 1t i'm
possible for second day dualif1ers to
know what they have to shoot, and To
put them on an equal basis with the
rest of the field.
The system has the one advantage
of keeping most of the field in ignorance
of what their predecessors have done,
but there seems no particular reason
why the late starters should not know
what they have to do to make their
proper place in the tournament. When
a two-day qualifying round is played
at Washington clubs the scores are
posted as they come in. And every
one knows just where he stands, no
matter whether he starts early or late
