Invitation Event Listed.
Public links golfers were not fool
ing when they announced plans for
an invitation tourney to be held on
municipal course this year.
They have before them today a
complete scheme for the first invita-
tiCn event ever staged on a public
course in Washington. To be staged
as joint affair by the East Po-
tomac and Anacostia Golf Clubs,
the tourney will be held May 6, 7
and s at East Potomac Park. If
successful a similar event will be
held neXt year at Anacostia Park.
The two clubs held a joint meet
ing last night at the Anacostia field
house with Presidents Robert Morris
of the East Potomac Golf Club and
Bill Davis of the Anacostia Golf
Club present, and drew up final
/ plans for the affair. 1t will be open
to all golfers in and near Washing
ton. even though they have private
/ club Affiliations. An entry fee of
So will be charged, which will in
/ clude green fees for three days and
| luncheon for two days.
Private Club Entry Sought.
Arrangements have been made
with Concessionaire Leoffler to per-
nit the tournament players uninter-
rupted use of the championship
courses for the duration of the tour
ney, which will replace the usual
East Potomac Park spring affair.
In the hope of getting large en-
try from the ranks of the private
clubs Morris plans to contact all
golf chairmen, and will seek to OBJ
tain as many linksmen as possible
Entries will close Saturday. May 3,
and posted starting times will be ad-
hered to.
This tourney looms as a worth
while venture by the public linksmen
and should be supported by private
club members. OF course, there are
many other angles, such as District
Golf Association support of public
links golf, but they will come along
in time.
Bill Davis, preXy of the Anacostia
club, is being congratulated on the
hole in one he scored on the 18th
hole of the FairlaWn course. The
hole is $50 yards in length and Bill
played the shot with a Akron.
