The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-07-16


four occasions and over 30 only
three times. and the highest score
she has fired in this country was
an 85.
All of Miss Wethered's scores have
been made over tough golf courses.
Her best score was 70 at Phllmont IN
Philadelphia, and she had a fine "A
over Merton at Philadelphia and the
same count at East Lake in Atlanta
the day she played against BOBBY
Jones and lost to Bobbys H.
She has failed to better the Wom-
ems course record on only four OF
the courses she has played so lar,
and her performance today at High
land was watched with interest.
NEXT to the British players
~ game the fans displayed keen
interest in the performance OF MISS
Abbott. 1t will be recalled by most
state golfers that Miss Abbott as
girl began competition in city and
state golf tournaments While her
Darents we're members of Avalon
NOW Hillcres) Country Club. Her
golf instructor was Roy Smith, pro
at the Millersville club.
Once Buff was obliged to elm
mate her mother from city cham
pionship competition when they met
in the semi-finalS. In 1929 she was
a semi fnalist in the state tourna-
ment and duplicated the feat IN
1880. In 1881 she scored an 81 III
the qualifying round of the state
championship for medalist honorS
and it is the lowest score ever to be
turned in at that tourney for the
qualification test.
That Miss Abbott reached the
heights of golf on the West Coast
after she moved there with her
parents in 1881 is not at all sur
prising to her many friends here.
Just this year she captured the
California and Golden Gate tour
nament championships and natur-
ally local golf fandom is interested
to see just what changes have come
over her game since she departed
for California.
