Among the tourneys sched- uled are pro-amateur best ball events, amateur Vs. pro events and an asso- ciation championship. It 1s hard to see what local golfer, if any, has a chance to trim Chris Dunphy if he plays his shots as well at Columbia this week as he did last . week at Chevy Chase. Dunphy is long and straight off the tee, and is playing his mashie with fine accuracy, backing up his good pitch shots with the ability to hole the ten-foote Against Sam Dalzell at Chevy Chas he played the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth in 3, 3. ond shot dead ag t the pin on al three holes.

By George O'Neil Taking chances in golf means extra shots ay a general rule. | There are times when n player should take chances and again there are times when he should avold them ax he would a pestilence. One of the strange things about golf ix that most players get themselves absolutely University i Il i driving a special, Atlantic carnival at reversed on when to take chances and when not to. The player should take chances, if be is playing a match, when he is up on his opponent. He should avold chances when his opponent is up on him. As 1t is applied by | golfers, they usually do just the | opposite. | You can take chagces when you are in the lead of an opponent be- cause if your chance fails to work out satistactorily you are in posi- tion to take the loss resulting therefrom. If you avoid chance taking when you are behind in the race you leave yourself in position to benefit by any chance. | Your winning opponent may take | and on which he may lose out. | You should get firmly in your golfing mind the fact that the i man who takes chances ix likely | to lose by them. though he may | win mow and then. Chances in | molf are the same ax chances in | anything else—mostly against you. (Copsright, Jobn F.
