STEADY WORK
ON PRACTICE
! TEE AIDS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Most promising Of the fair golf
ers Of local public links is MISS
Betty Keeler only 10 years old.
She was the only feminine COM
petitor In the recent Rock Creek
Park Open tournament but quail
>ified for the third flight with 81,
losing to her male opponent, w. w.
King, in tne first round only after
struggle that went 16 holes. ! up.
In her favor is the fact that she
practices. something which most
women golfers diSdain. One can't
20 very far in golf without spend.
ing some time on the practice tee.
Plays Rock Greek Course
Miss Keeler confines her play
ing to the hilly Rock Greek Park
course where ones shots must
follow q straight path or other
wise cause considerable anguish.
Miss KeeIer usually scores be-
, tween IS and 80.
The young lady isn't accepted
as the best Of the fair players at
Rock Greek but those who have
observed her are frank in saying
that she'll be headliner ere long.
Improvement in her game, which
will bring lower scores, Is bound
to, follow If Miss Keeler pursues
her policy Of alternating between
the practice and regular play.
Would Help Game
Too, an invitation from the
Women's District Golf Association
to compete in the events over the
club courses would indicate more
convincingly if Miss Keeler bears
promise of future greatness.
Surely, such competition would
prove of the greatest benefit.
With Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes,
team captain and women'S Dis
trict golf champion, leading the
way, ColU nbia Country Club
flashed championship form in
defeating Kenwood, 91a to 21a,
in the first team matches Of
the Women's District Coli AS
sociation ever the wood
course ysEL 2rQay.
Mrs. Haynes Low Scorer
Mrs. Haynes, only recently re-
turned from a two months stay
in the South, was low scorer for
the day with 81, five strokes
over Women's par. She was out
in. AZ, despite a Z on the first
hole and three puts on the par
four third. Mrs. Haynes covered
the incoming nine in AZ, z on
tile thirteenth also marring her
card. ,.,.
The surprise Of yesterdays
matches was the jolt Indian
Spring handed the strong Con-
gressional Country Club team.
Indian Spring triumphed by 6h
TO .S12. Beaver Dam, also con-
sidered a s5rong entry, succumbed
to Army-Navy, 6h to 51a. Chevy
Chase scored over Manor Club,
812 to 31a, to retain the lead,
while Washington Coli and
Country Club downed Wood
mont, 7R to AZ.

Capt. Kendall j. Fielder, Army.
Navy Club: Tommy Webb, jr..
Washington Golf and Country

Raymond (''sonny') Workman

under 80. The well-known jockey,

1886 in a match with AL

Houghton shot a par II, while
Fitzgerald scored 78.
