rangy S. C. Wimsatt, one Of the large5:
men playing golf In the city, will also
be among those favored to go far n

they stay hit.
MOST of the professional golfers of
4'1 this sector Of the land are to be
busy this week
Next Thursday some 40 or 50 of them
will gather at the Columbia Country
Club to play in a 36-hole competition
to determine the three men who will
qualify from the Middle Atlantic Sec
tion for the national professional match
play tournament. This is the Profess
sional Golfers Association champion
ship, to be played at ST. Paul late IN
August, and is the last national cham
pionship for the pros this year. All
the local boys are anxious 10 qualify.
for the P. G.. A. tourney has a plan by
which the travelling expenses Of the
pros arc partially paid AS they 70
further in the match play rounds they
collect more money
Next Sunday and Monday quite 4
large group of Washington professionals
plan to play in the Bedford Springs
open championship. to be played over
the picturesque course a. Bedford
Springs, Pa. up in the foothills Of The
AlleghanieS Seven or eight of the
local pros and few amateurs from
Indian Spring will make the trip.
Listen to the pros talk and they will
convince you that it will take a score
of about l45 TO make the grade for the
P G. A. tournament And there may
be something to their tales. too. for
this is the season for low scoring. Fast
fairways and well watered putting
greens make ideal scoring conditions.
That is the way most of the Washing
ton courses shape up nowadays. And
just to show what can be done BY way
of real scoring, Ralph Beach of Ba'ti-
more, Maryland State open title holder,
went four over par on two hole ut
Columbia last week and vet played The
course in II strokes He had IS on the
third and fifteenth and yet played the
course in only one above par.
UNOFFICIAL course records for two
- standard length Washington
courses now stand ct 63, an un-
believably low mark for two such tough
layoutS as Congressional and KenWood.
Tommy Armour blaZed his way around
the Congressional course in 63 five
years back and two days ago Al Hough-
ton got all his shots going at the
same time and busted that course re-
ord CT 66 at KenwCod wide open with
a new mark of SO. Both records ere
unofficial because they were not made
in competition. but they stand high
among golfing featS just the Tame.
Tommy Armour's record at Congress
sional was ten below the old par nf
73 Par for the present course is 70
and NJ. Parker Nolan is the only ANA
,eur who has been able to break 1t.
This he did with II the other day,
tieing a similar mark made by Geveral
others. That score Of 10 made bv Gene
Larkin in the Open championship
qualifying round on June 6 stands IS
the official course mark for the present
Congressional layout.
HOUGHTON'S feat of playing the
j / Kenwocd course in 63 strokes IS
on a par with Armcur's stunt of
five years back. Indeed, the !nagnif1-
cent manner in which Houghton is
hitting the ball these days leads us
to wonder if he cannot break that 63
before the scoring season ends. At any
rate, after several trials, he broke Fed
Cunningham's previous record by three
strokes and today, as is fitting. the
local pro holds the record for his home
course. OF course any performance
such as this Is predicated on fine put
ting and that's where Houghton made
his low score. The only fly in The
ointment is that a temporary green IS
