First Of the major detectives of
Mrs. Walter L. Weible, new presi-
dent of the Women's District Golf
Association, will be to start the ball
rolling toward securing for Washing
ton q national women's LINKS cham
pionship. And to keep after 1t until
the National Capital gets the
tourney.
The wife of an Army oficer, Mrs.
Weible explained that as far as she
is concerned Il may be in Timbuctoo
when the tournament is played here,
but want to see it come here and
will keep after it." She has been
corresponding with the women's
committee Of the United States Golf
Association and has been told
through Chairman Mrs. James H.
Hull that the l941 tourney will 60 to
Brookline, Mass, and that Chicago
is making plans to hold the 1912
affair. Nevertheless I am going to
keep after it," said Mrs. Weible.
Next on the list Of detectives is a
change in the method of playing the
feminine team matches by having
firSt-team contests played at scratch,
while second and third teams play
with association handicaps. Mrs.
Weible said she welcomes construc-
tive criticism, is a firm believer in
rules and wants to see the Women's
District Golf Association the best
association in the United States"
Schedule to Be Arranged.
First meeting OF the new executive
committee, following the annual
meeting yesterday at Columbia, will
be an informal get-together early
in January. Then the committee
will be called into session to get
down to the serious business Of
arranging the involved and compli-
Gated schedule OF affairs for l94l.
With Mrs. Weible were chosen the
following ls4l officers: First vice
president, Mrs. Frank Kramer,
Manor; second vice president. Mrs
F. Dickinson Let's, Chevy Chase;
secretary. Mrs. Harvey j. Cooper,
Kenwood; treasurer, Mrs. P. j.
Winkler. Congressional.
And did the women have a big
year in 1910? And are they going
to have bigger year in 194l?
Everything points that way, and 1910
speaks for itself judged from the
reports of the committee chairmen.
For example the gals had 1886
entries in IA association-staged
tournaments in 1910. These do not
include entries in the Maryland
State, the Middle Atlantic. the Payne
tourney and others outside the asso-
citation.
They will enter the 194l season
with 30l competitors whose handi-
caps have been certified as correct.
and IS more whose handicaps will
have to be cleared through certifica-
ton OF scores to be made in the
spring of 194l. In addition the inter-
city team matches with Richmond
will be resumed.
Bank Balance Healthy.
Income of the womens golf as
ISOLATION was $l.22s87. and they
spent in all Sl,l7s.54. They have a
bank balance Of S732.os, which Is
something many mems associations
will envy.
Before turning over the presidency
to Mrs. Weible, the retiring presi-
dent-Mrs. Robert A. Lacey Of
Columbia-proposed a change in the
constitution which will open the
nominations for officers to all clubs,
instead OF q group of FIVE clubs, ar
ranged alphabetically. This was
done. and next year all Is clubs will
have one member each on the nomi-
mating committee. Mrs. Lacey an
nounced that the National Broad
casting Co. has offered a new cup
for Glass B, making six cups each
in Glasses A and B in competition
next year.
Mrs. Lacey was presented with a
handsome pin, the gift Of the as
ISOLATION, on her retirement after
two years as president She sug-
gested that the woman-pro tourney,
held last summer at Chevy Chase,
be made an annual affair. The as
ISOLATION gave Mrs. Lacey . rising
vote of thanks.
