INDIANAPOLIS public links golf
4 ers have become interested in
the national amateur public links
championship annually staged by
the United States Golf Association.
The local team performed we'll at
st. Paul last year, and it is reason
able to expect the eleventh annual
nationwide play at Shawnee golf
course in Louisville, July 1928, this
year, will find indianapolis we'll
represented.
Bulletin announcement from the U. S.
G. A. today sets out all the rules and
the program for the play. The tourna-
ment as usual will open with two eighteen
hole qualifying rounds of medal play to
determine the thirty-twO qualifiers for
the championship match play. The last
three days of the meet will be given over
to match play with two elimination rounds
of eighteen holes each daily. Only the
final match will be thirty-six holes.
AS usual the James D. Standish Jr..
! cup for the individual champ and the
Honorable Warren G. Harding cup for the
lnter-city team championship will be
awarded, Each member of the winning
team will receive q gold medal, also the
individual winner.
IMPORTANT to local golfers is the
L paragraph that demands each
entrant file an official entry blank
with the local U. S. G. A. repre-
sentative, who probably will be Ar
thur G. Lockwood. city golf direc-
tor, on or before June 5. Local
ployers should bear in mind that
date is one week before the local
qualifying tournament will be OF
can be held, because the U. S. G.. A
sets out that all local qualifying
play in every section of the country
must be held during the two weeks
commencing June 13.
The qualifying play must consist of not
less than thirty-six holes. Scoring must
be according to medal play rules. In ad-
dition to the fact that each entrant in
the national public links championship be
an amateur, the U. S. G. A. also requires
that each entrant was not = member or
or did not enjoy the privileges of private
club dating forward from Jan. 1 this
year. Entry fee of SIS each must be
mailed to the q. S. G. A. for all national
tournament entries before July 5.
In selecting the ioc., team the Ioca,
representative of the Q. S. G. A. may
select without qualification play any of
the players who qualified in the Public
Links championship play last year. He
may select any from the first twenty low
scores in the local qualifying play.

TINE local entry for the indi-
Il vidual title at Louisville may
consist of six players, but before
the play begins. July 10, the local
captain must designate which four
players he wishes to use in COM
petition for the Harding team cup.
It was quite a struggle last year for local
persons interested to raise enough money
to send a team of six to st. Paul. Due to
generous donations and considerable hard
work, it was accomplished however. This
wear the indianapolis Public Links As
ISOLATION with members and directors from
all the local municipal links is already
functioning. Lockwood is on his second
year as city director. More persons know
what it takes to send team TO national
play and while the drain on the pocket
book will not be as heavy this year, still
early preparations must be made for send
ing the Indianapolis team to Louisville in
full style.
