tn HERE may be a woman's cham.
p1onship tournament held by the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association
Il during the Fall. And 1t prob
ably will be held, If held at all,
on local golf course.
This orphan of the links (no club bid
for 1t at the annual meeting of the
association last March, was practically
abandoned by the association during
the Summer, on the theory that If no
club wanted the event, interest In it
must be almost nil, and If that was
the case, 1t was not worth holding.
1t is a thoroughly worthwhile tourna-
ment, but is only worth while so long
as 1t Is supported by the woman golfers
of the mid-Atlantic section. If they
lose interest in 1t, 1t will undoubtedly
be abandoned. II they attend 1t in
fairly large numbers, 1t Is destined to
become one of the outstanding tourna-
ments Of this section. The probability
Is that this year the officers of the as
ISOLATION will appoint woman's COM
mittee, which may be headed by Mrs.
J. M. Haynes of Columbia, because of
her position as chairman of the Wom-
ans intercity team tournaments, to
arouse interest in the affair and put 1t
across in q bigger and better way It
should be held, according to the ON
GERS Of the association, and will be held
II the women golfers show Sufficient
interest in 1t to make 1t worth while.
