add spice to an already
elaborate tournament set-up fol-

Mrs. H. A. Knox of Congressional.
who represents the club on the Tourna-
ment Committee Of the Maryland State
Golf Association, announced that the
tourney for the Maryland State wom-
ems championship will he played over
the course of the Elkridge Hunt Club
on May 81 to June 4, inclusive. Wom-
an golfers from the eight clubs about
Washington are eligible to compete in
the tourney.
This makes three big title events for
the fair players about the Capital, for
the District women'S title meet already
has been set for Manor Club, and the
Middle Atlantic women's championship
will be played next Fall, probably at
Rodgers Forge Golf Club near Balti-
more.
In addition to the women's Mary
land title tourney, Mrs. Knox an
nounced that there will be a Maryland
State day for woman players at Column
bia Country Club on September 90.
This event will come a few days after
an inter-city match scheduled between
Washington and Baltimore woman golf
ers at Indian Spring.
Never before in the history Of wom-
ems golf about the Capital have SO
many events been scheduled as this
wear. Tournaments starting early in
April will combine with team matches
running through almost the entire sea-
son to keep interest alive among the
fair wielders of the driver and mashie.
It is a testimony to the activities of
the Women's District Golf Association,
which started nine years ago, when
most of the women's tournaments drew
only a few entries, and there were few
Journeys. Nowadays the tournaments
draw anywhere from SO to 100 entries
and there are plenty of 'en1.
CANDY ARMOUR, the genial Scot
- who holds down the professional
berth at Congressional, has an idea
that may bring forth fruit in the way
of an exhibition match at his club
starring two of our leading professional
golfers.
Those two new holes at Congress
sional-the tenth and eleventh-are TO
be put in use some time this Spring Tor
the first time, and Sandy has an idea
that he may get his brother Tommy.
holder of the British open title, and
Ed Dudley, holder of the Western Open
championship, to play in an exhibition
match to signalize the formal opening
of the new part Of the Congressional
course
Sandy expects Tommy to come to
Washington after the North and South
championship at Pinehurst, to be
played next week, and If Tommy agrees
to play the match may be arranged.
Tommy Armour and Ed Dudley won
the international four-ban match at
Miami a couple of weeks ago and as
result they rate as the leading best ball
combination in the United States today.
The new tenth and eleventh holes
were built a year and half ago and
appear to be in good shape for opening.
The present tenth hole OF more than
600 yards will be abandoned and play
to the new tenth will be across valley
to a green cut into the hillside near
the present eleventh green. The pres
ent tenth green will be used as the
green for the eleventh, the present
eleventh will become the twelfth and
the present sixteenth hole will be elm
mated under the plan for course re-
arrangement.
THOSE lads out at the Georgetown
J. Prep School, near Garrett Park,
Md, do not allow any grass to
grow under their divotS. Already they
have started things humming toward a
series of team matches this Spring, and
already they have set the dates for the
