HARTMAN o. L. Veerhoff OF the
tournament subcommittee OF
the golf committee OF the
Washington Golf and Country
Club has solved the problem OF
the miniature tournaments OF the ciuo
by a simple expedient which Snouio az
away with all the difficulties OF NINA
ture events Of the past. The Wasning,
tni1 course, be it known, does not leno
5tself to shifting I'D into groups OF SIX
holes. as played in the miniature TOUR
nanent matches because the ninth mole
is far away from the clubhouse:
Veerhof figured it out In this way
There are so many flights composed OF
eight PLAYERS each. That means three
match play rounds in each nlgnt, VIII
three matches at six holes. 1hIee tn ne
6 is 10. Therefore why not START C1e
nlayers in the first round to concluoe
fneyr match on the sixth hole, let the
winners and losers play together, ana
LET the finalists play the final six noles
Of the course, making ID holes OF tlUee
matches in all. -u
This scheme will be put into opera.
tion on Thursday and Vernon hopes ~
will solve the problem which has Vexeo
the golf committee in other years: VI
how to play three minlatuTe oous ins.
rnent matches with the minimum loss
of time. Heretofore the contestants
have split the course into sK-nole
matches and sometimes have come bacK
To the clubhouse before starting the neHI
round. The only possible drawback 10
Veerhoff's scheme is that there may De
some confusion as to the next opponent
of the winners and the losers. But tna "
problem should take care OF itself II
each man understands how the toulha-
rnent is to be conducted.
Veerhoff asks that all entrants IN the
miniature tournament at washington 70
