7 OCAL golf professionals, who
have been playing in infor-
IL NAL tournaments between
themselves over the past
month, are pointing their game
toward the coming sectional quail
fication rounds Of the national
open championship, to be played
at Manor Club on Monday, May Is.
In the rush Of arranging a schedule
for the Middle Atlantic p. G. A. and of
keeping the old swing In mesh by steady
practice, they should not overlook the
little matter of entering for the open
championship. minor but stil highly
important detail. The United States
Golf Association is inclined to be
lenient, but the moguls Of the game will
not relax their rules regarding entry for
their tournaments, particularly the
open championship.
Only IL days remain for the filing Of
entries for the championship. Entr IS
will close at o'clock May and 70
entries dated after that hour will b.
accepted by the national golf body.
Entries must be accompanied by the fee
of IS. Amateurs who have club handi-
caps of three strokes or less may enter
the sectional rounds for the open CHAM
pionship. In order to swell the list of
places open for the pros it is expected
that many local amateur golfers will
enter the tourney.
7 Asst year with 66 entrants for the
- sectional rounds at Congressional,
there were eight places open for
the local professional brigade. Five Of
these went to Washington pros. Those
who made the grade in the 1892 Sec
tional tests were Bob Barnett and Gene
Larkin of Chevy Chase, Al Houghton of
Kenwood, Mel Shorey of East Potomac
Park and Archie Clark of Congressional.
This year the pros all are working
for large turnout in the hope that as
many as eight places, and possibly more,
again will be available for the sectional
tests in this sector. Pros will be en-
tered from Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina for the title tourney to
De played at Chicago early in June:
AS soon as the entries are compiled
by the U. S. G. A.. shortly after en-
tries close on the evening of May 2.
the national golf body Will announce
the pairings and times for the 36-hole
test at the Manor Club on May IS. All
the pros in this section doubtless will
enter.
