has another Idea. Harry is thaL
way. Depression or no depres-
sion, you can't keep Harrys idea
factory from turning out thoughts.
His latest is one that should
gather together banner field OF
public course golfers over that
rolling layout up in the hills
which border Rock Creek.
1t IS turkey tournament" with the
main prizes a flock of goI5lers to be
won by the gents who arr successful
in the match-play rounds which will
end before Thanksgiving day.
The tournament is opeg to all golfers
in the city over IA years, of age, and in
order to get the golfers properly segre-
gated by flights, Harry Kas set 36-hole
medal round for october 81 and No
vember l, next Monday and Tuesday,
with 18 holes to be played each day.
There will be flights for all entrants
and an entry fee of SO cents Is to be
charged.
Nick Altrock, the turkey -muncher Of
the Nationals, ard as good a golfer as
there is at Rock Creek Park, is among
the 20-odd who have signed on the dotted
line for the turkey tourney. So is S.
c. Wimsatt, the tall sycamore of West
Potomac Park. who stands something
like feet teeside
Harry expects half hundred or more
golfers to turn out for the tourney
Match-play rounds will start on Novem-
Der and the entire affair will be
,,+5tl1 III, MI
A MOTHER of Harry Graham's ideas
n is that the golfers want a really
short hole somewhere on the
course So he has put into use again
that tricky little 98-yard fifth hole on
Course A. the same hole where so many
aces have been made in past years.
With this change the eighth hole again
becomes par 5.
Now if Harry can find some way to
keep leaves from cluttering up the
putting green's the old idea factory can
take a rest.
If it isn't one thing it's another"
walls Harry. For the better part of the
late Summer and early Fall our course
was baked out Now that we've had lots
of rain and the course is in fine shape
we have too many leaves. They cover
the greens and we can't seem to DO
anything ABOUT EN-.
Perhaps Harry can find way to
change the seasons.
THAT forthcoming National Capital
i open tournament, to be played No
vember II and 13 at Kenwood, shapes
up as a real golf affair, according to Al
Houghton, the Kenwood pro who IS the
handspring of the event.
Listen to Al and you will visualize
another national open in the making Tor
the River Road layout. within the
past few days we have had accept
ances and checks for entry from Walter
Hagen, Horton Smith and Billy Burke
When those boys lay their checks on the
line. they mean business. We already
have acceptances from Saracen, Farrell,
Al and Abe Espinosa, Willie MacFar
lane. Tommy Armour and all the rest
of the Eastern stars, and 1t looks as II
the entry list may reach l5O."
Incidentally, according to Hougnton,
Walter Hagen has pulled that old ap-
pearance-money guarantee stunt WHICH
he first espoused three or four years
back. Walter wrote the Kenwood Clup,
Ho1ohton SAYS, asking for a guarantee
bf $3.50 TO play in the tourney, and the
tlub wrote back that they could not
kuarantee dime But Hagen Will be
here anyway.
