SundIun Gives Unique Trophy
for the Most improved
Player of 1880.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

~ Der OF the Town ana COun-
~ try Club, has started what
a n may develop into a grand |
ruction at the popular club out on
Wisconsin avenue, near Bethesda. |
He has donated to the club a cup,
to be known as the Arthur
Sundlun Cup" which will be pre-
Sented to the club member who
makes the greatest improvement |
In his golf game during the 1880
season.
After October 81, Bill Illch and his
associates on the golf committee will
get their heads together and make
their selection of the golfer who has |
improved his game most during the |
season. We can imagine all sorts Of
possibilities in the award. For example, |
II normal rs player improves his
game to an average of "A. Is he not
man who cuts his average game from
100 to 80? Students of the game agree |
that to lop of the strokes below IS or
90 Is much harder than to cut them |
down from the higher scores. But |
suppose there comes along man whose |
normal game at the start of the sea-
son Is ITO and who drops down into the |
SO class before the season ends. Is
he not entitled to the award? Off,
hand, 1t looks like great season on the
teaching tee for Arthur B. Thorn, the
club pro, for it is entirely possible many
Of the club members will spend many
an hour in the hope they may i'm
prove the game and cop the Sundlun
Cup.
