Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-01

THERE'S q young fellow out at
Columbia who knocks a golf
ball about as far as 1t can be
driven, and who, by virtue OF
that knack of shifting the ball from
here to hence with an ease that makes
this hard task seem like childs play, IS
likewise burning up the fast course
Within the past week Everett Eynon,
the most youthful member of the CO.
lunlbia Country Club golf committee
has shattered 10 over the tough course
where the national open championship
was played in 1921, and in almost every
round he has played has been below 70.
A decade and half and a little more
ago Ed Eynon, now secretary OF the
Washington base ball club, was JusI
about the best there was in golt ABOUT
washington. That is when Lee Haroan
was not winning, Eynon usually was VIC
abandoned tournament golf, playing
onIv occasionally and hardly at all dur
ing the Summer.
And now that the father has stopped
PLAYING in tournaments the son Is JusS
about ready to step into his SHOES anu
take I'M where his dad left ot-perhaps
with even more success than the senior
Evnon had. For Ed Eynon helo tne LIS us
trict championship for more IMAM TWO
years, during 1917 and 1913, ana at olie
time held the Midatlantic title, when
viii aid in showing that the elder
Evnon was considerable OF gol1eI. =
"Eyyie' Eynon, even though ne Is
not a tall lad and does not have tne
leverage of long arms ana unusuaI
height. is one of the longest hltGeIs
there is around Washington. He makes
the Columbia course look easy, as IN
deed IL is to a man who can KNOCK d
golf ball 275 yards nearly every tilne
he steps up to the tee-or any o'hei
course for that matter.
In the 60 that young Eynon shot
few DAYS ago he had a on par
hole and might have tied the course
record of 66 had that not happened.
AS It was. the SO made the course seem
Eynon has one of the smoothest
swings of any young golfer around
washington. He gets the ball away
with unusual ease and rhythm-ano,
boy, how it rides. We have seen MIN
drive very nearly to the first green at
Columbia, and once in a while ne gets
one on the nose at the third and knocks
it nearly to the bunker in front OF
the green.
Getting home in at the long fifth
is not at all unusual for this youngster.
All In all, with little more tournament
experience and a little better play
around the greens. it seems to us that
Evvie Eynon is just about ready to step
out and take up where his dad left OIL.
H. King Cornwell shot SO on the
Annapolis Roads course yesterday, scor-
ing a buzzard 5 on the ninth, where
he needed a 4 for IS, which is par
for the nine-hole layout. Cornwell
went to Annapolis Roads with j. E.
Baines, Hugh II. Saum and Albert r.
Mackenzie. All are members Of Co
lumbia.
