The Golf Committee of the Four Corners club states in an announcement today that the new ball makes the re- arrahgement of handicaps necessary and points out that until May 1 the handicap of Indian Spring members will be the average of the five best scores made last year. But after May 1 the handicaps will be based upon the score cards the members turn in prior to that date. Handicaps are to be determined by the Calkins system and the new ball must be used in returning cards for ot Golf Oommlm.x:' Ib;g! s I’ym.wlll.l assure Indian Spring busy season. iy §E 1] i cane of Chevy Chase decided.” 0 by 55 FTo-amateur, Woodnolme Goun- : Jucyl"g"l——rrn—pm tourney, Catoctin Coun- ry Club. 3 ing T Club, WHIFIS ey Ko Ein’n'fu? feSuburban” Country Club, A crober 13- Manor Club, pro-pro tourney.

WILL CHECK PLAYERS' CONDUCT Disciplinary Policy Aimed at Few Who Stray From Ethical Fairway. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. OMEWHAT after the manner of professional base ball, the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association in- tends exercising disciplinary au- thority over its members who compete | in events sanctioned by the organiza- tion's Tournament Bureau. For the most part, professional golfers are very gentlemanly and well behaved athletes. But there are a few who occasionally wander from the middle of the ethical fairways, and the curb is being made for them. Charles Hall of Birmingham, presi- dent of the P. G. A., declares that: “Any unl performance by a professional golfer, no matter how in- frequent, provokes adverse comment that the other substantial professionals have to share. We were burdened with the implied responsibility for the trav- eling caddies and for that reason have ruled them out, and now our action must reach farther. ‘Will Help Clubs. together with the professional, who really is representative of the princi- the P.
