An odd father and son combination
turned up in the Congressional Country
Club tournament, finding the Taylors-
DR.. Bruce L. and his son, B. l.. Taylor,
and the Quigleys of the Harper Coun-
try Club, father and son, all tangled up
in family strife. They all qualified In
the fourth flight of the tournament and
the battle was on. In the first match
play round the younger Taylor defeated
the junior Quigley, and the elder Quig-
ley won his match. while DR.. (and
senior Taylor lost in the first round.
In the afternoon of the first day of
match play the senior Quigley downed
the Junior Taylor. So the junior Quigley
and the senior Taylor went into the
consolation. And they met yesterday
in the semi-final round, with the senior
Taylor victorious by 4 and 8. Quite a
family mix-up. But it was all in fun.
Alex SANDY Armour of Congress
sional comes to bat with plea for
more and stricter observance of the
rules of golf How many times Armour
an authority on rules-was approach
ed in the Congressional tourney with re-
quests for rulings he does not know,
but he estimates he was asked his
Judgment some two score times. And
that does not include the many who
thrashed out the rules away on by
themselves out on the golf course. Even
the professionals are not immune from
infractions of the rules. One prominent
local pro suggested to us recently that
it would be a good idea if the profess
sionals met once a week, took the rule
book section by section and learned all
the rules by heart, with the explana-
tions for them given by such old timers
in the game as Armour or Fred Mcleod.
The Congressional Country Club
tournament was played under strict
United States Golf Association rules.
except where they we're modified by
local rules which applied only because
of the heavy rain which fell on three
of the four tournament days. Yet we
saw one pair in the first fight not
playing styrnies "by agreement among
themselves" The logical question to
ask is whether they can ''by agreement"
waive the same set of rules under which
the other competitors are playing.
George F. Miller of Manor and Roger
Peacock of Indian Spring who tied for
tourney with cards of rs. are to play on
the tie at Congressional today IN an
18-hole medal play match.
