women down there have golf and lots
of it.
such players as Mrs. w. Barham
Jones, Mrs. Connie Sullivan, Mrs. George
Schenck and Mrs. Jean 1rant are no
easy opponents. Ana they make 1t so
nice in Norfolk when one visits that
winning is not the important thing.
Early in August the Washington golf
ers are to go TO Richmond 10 play a
group of women from the Virginia CAPT.
tai on their native heath, ana later in
the year they will entertain the Norfolk
women here. Matches are also being

on the day of the tourney.
Gen. Shanks cracks the whip every
once In while. His latest adnlonition
to the seniors runs like this: Expert

every senior may be depended upon to

Diro1e or an eagle he will hot foot it

enter his achievement. Just to see what

there will be a special prize awarded to

Out at Congressional it seems that
Sandy Armour has done a good lob by
way of teaching young Claggett Stevens.
Sandy's clubmaker, to swing q golf club
as 1t should be swung. We watched

Sandy says the youngster has In him

as often under par as he Is over par.
Sandy tells us that Parker Nolan, the

handicap Is low enough, but, in addi-
ton, he must submit his competitive
record over the last two years.
We have seen golfers who lacked the
