The proposed plan to hold the cham- | plonship tourney of the Middle Atlan- tic Golf Association at the Princess Anne course at Virginia Beach during | the first week in June must now be | set aside, for the women's Southern champlonship tournament is be played at Princess Anne from Juge 4 to 12. The men's tourney ma§ be played the following week, although this may not be known until the meet- ing of the Middle Atlantic Golf Asso- ciation at the Willard the evening of March 7. The Columbia Country Club invitation event—largest of the local tourneys—will be_played on June 9, 10, 11" and 12. In addition to_these | Spring events Bannockburn and Manor | pP&n to hold golf tournaments in the | Fall, while the senior and junior Dis- trict champlonships and the women's championship will be played during the year. It looks like a big golf year, if enough rain falls during the next two months to bring back the grass cn the local courses. They are in bad condi- tion now, by reason of the drought ot last year, but there is no cause for Tegarding their condition | this year. | It is now pretty well established that the Congressional Country Club is not to go after any of the major cham- | plonships for 1932, and that the Bal- | imore Country Club has stepped in where Congressional left off and plt dtself in the position of being a lusty bidder for the amateur championship next year. The Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club, where the P. G. A. championship was played uf 1928, is regarded as one of the best courses in this section, and is the course where the championship will be played, if awarded to Baltimore. | Will Look Over Links. William D, Waxter, chairman of the ‘Tournament Committee of the club, tells us that officials of the United States Golf Association have taken a | cordial attitude toward the bid of the Baltimore Country Club for the tour- ney. and plan to visit Baltimore some | time this year to look over the course— Ppossibly at the time of the club invita- | tion tourney during the last week in May. If Baltimore gets the tournev 8 good many Washingtonians will see the championship. for Five Farms is | not more than 50 miles away from the | heart of Washing’on. Of course a | champlonship without Bobby Jones will not seem like much of a champion- ship, but the Baltimore folks are sct on getting it—and they seem to have the “inside track. The award of the champlonship will be announced next September, at the time of the 1931 title event’ at Chicago. LTHOUGH it is probable that an invitation tournament will not be played at Congressional this year there will be no lack of events for the | members of the club, according to the | schedule prepared by the Golf Com- | mittee. The schedule will open with | 2 field day late in April or early in May, during which a golf tournament, a tennis tournament and trap shoc ing events will be held. During the entire month of May weekly sweep- stakes tournaments will be held for adjusting handicaps. The balance of | the schedule follows May 30—Handicap match play against par in two classes.
