TOURNAMENT
WILL OPEN
MONDAY

WUND1I
Despite the fact. that the en-
try list has been closed, there
is a possibility that the entry
list for the annual Columbis
Country Club invitation tourney
may reach SIS. The tourney
opens Monday with the first .o1
the three-day qualifying rounds
The entry list has been closed
to resident golfers but remains
open for out-of town players ane
1t is these late entries that are
forcing the number upwards. One
official of the Columbia Clue
hinted that the list may go as
high as 600.
The list, as it stood today
totaled 544 entries, the largest
for an invitation tournament In
the history of this city. Indian
Spring had close to $50 entries
for its tournament and this was
thought to be a high-water marx
but now along comes COLUMBIA
with a record that may stand
for some time.
It's one of the cIassiest golf
fields ever assembled for a club
tournament in the District and
includes practically all the stars
of this city as well as Mary
land and Virginia and a few
scattered entries from North
ern points.
Watch the howl of condemna-
ton of the new golf ball fade as
the contestants assault the par
of II for the Columbia Course.
The history of the past two
Columbia tournaments have been
that scores beyond 76 barely
qualify for the championship
flight.
High Scores Get In
Washington has experienced
four invitation golf tournaments
this spring and, in some in
stances, scores as high as 80 have
gained admission to the first
flight: 82's will just about get
one into the third flight at
Columbia.
The excellence of the players
in the Columbia tournaments is
not the only cause for lower
qualifying scores than the other
tournaments here. It's the time
Of the season, because Columbia
generally holds it's tourney in the
middle of June when the weather
is bright and warm and there is
little wind. +.="~
