Golfers Approve
Handicap Idea
AtD.C.C|ub
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

The new golf handicapping sys-
tenn installed by the Congressional
Country Club unquestionably will
meet approval of members.
Each member has been provided
with q card index with a square
for every day in the year. Daily
scores are marked in these squares.
Handicaps Revised Monthly
Handicaps will be revise d
monthly, but not more than two
strokes, upward or downward.
Thus the system avoids any I'M
just handicaps.
Take the IS shooter. He might
run into a streak of golf during a
month that would lower his handi-
cap 10 strokes. Should 10 strokes
be shaved from his handicap?
Such a reduction would be fair
if he continued his streak. Let's
suppose he should return to his
IS average. Then he would be
forced to concede player of his
equal 10 strokes handicap in
stead Of two.
Would Hold Big Edge
On the other hand, a IS shooter
might average IS or 80 for q
month. Would it be wise to add 10
strokes to his handicap because he
had slumped? He'd have the ad
vantage Of 10 strokes on player
in his class.
This handicap business works
both ways-and the golf commit
tee of the Congressional Country
Club has tackled it wisely. The
committee includes William w
Jones, chairman: Royal r. Rom
mel, secretary; Carl Weigle, Duke
Patrick, Mark Trice, Andy Walker
r. Lester Rose and Roland
Mackenzie.
