Golf Committee requests that players
arriving at the green of the short holes
permit the match following to play
their tee shots before holing out This
is to apply on the seventh. ninth. tenth
and seventeenth holes. The committee
further suggests that wooden tees be
used through the fairway in order to
save the grass.
A PAIR of deuces have been made
~ at Congressional recently in
n quite unusual manner.
First there was Harry Ward
man, with a short drive from the sew
enteenth tee. taking a full spoon shot
10 the green and finding his ball in
the bottom Of the cup for an eagle 2.
Then along came Virginia Williams.
whom Sandy Armour claims has one of
the best golf swings around this town,
who knocked a pitch shot over q
bunker at the eleventh and thought the
ball had gone over the green. After
searching around in the grass she
finally looked in the cup and sure
enough there it was nesting snugly
down in the hole.
Parker Nolan also secured a deuce on
that eleventh yesterday, but his came
as the result of a very fine wooden club
shot into the wind. which stopped only
4 feet from the hole
