Golf Galleries Big, genial Ted Ray, via his amanuensis—ofcourse it is under Are Not stood that neither he nor Vardon write the ‘‘stories’’ that are Always Fair appearing undertheir names in the daily articles to their credit, to the Players is complaining, and justly so too, of the lack of etiquette dis played by the large galleries following their numerous exhibi tion matches. Vide Ray: ‘‘ We travel all night and when we go to the golf course to play we are not alwaysin the finest, freshest spirits that we might be. And then to be further aggravated byfindingit necessaryto literally fight our paths through the erowds to be able to play our balls, and to occasionally overhear a remark that is perhaps a bit more patriotic than sportsmanlike, does not make one enjoy the play a great deal more. There seems to be the feeling that golf should be admired with the same ostentation that baseball is. The cheering reminds me very muchof the ‘‘back-chat’’ of your baseball games. Not infrequently person alities are dealt in. And when I overhear some reflection-casting remark it does not cause me to play a better game.’ Rayis quite right. Golf galleries in this country need education; lots of it That baseball spirit in the best interest of the Royal and Ancient must be elim inated. 417 418 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 6
The End of a Although some sand will fly from the bunkers in Canada)e- Record Making fore the 1920 season comes to a conclusion, the curtain has noy Golf Season rung down on the championships for this year, the Ladies’ Tournament at Hamilton last month spelling finis to the major events. Andthe result has been the dethroning of champions many. In the Amateur held at Beaconsfield the first week in July, Mr. C. B. Grier of The Royal Montreal, takes the place of Mr. William McLuckie, of Kanawaki, Montreal. In the Maritime Provincial Championship, Mr. Gerald ©. Meikle succeeds Mr. B. S. Macfarlane. The Pacific Northwest Championship at Van couver was won by Mr. Chandler Egan, and the Saskatchewan Championship by Mr. A. A. Weir, of Weyburn. The Manitoba championthis year is Mr. Doug las Laird, he taking the place of Mr. J. T. Cuthbert, who was also champion o! Saskatchewan in 1919. In the Alberta Championship Mr. J. Munro Hunter ‘ ‘‘repeated’’ this year as also did Mr. G. S. Lyon in the Seniors’ Championship; Douglas Edgarin the Open; ‘‘Davie’’ Black in the Canadian Professionals’ Championship, and Mr W. J. Thompsonin the Toronto andDistrict. Mr. T. B. Reith won the Province of Quebee Championship; Frank Adams of Winnipeg, the Manitoba Open Championship; George Cumming, the Tor onto and District Professional Championship ; Arthur Woodward, of the Country Club, Montreal, the Quebee Professional Championship; A. Kellie, Amherst, the Maritime; George Ayton, Regina, the Saskatchewan; ‘‘Davie’’ Black the Pacific Northwest, and Robert Mair, of Calgary, the Alberta Open, winninginthe play- off from Mr. J. Munro Hunter. The Ladies’ Championship of Canada goes to Miss AlexaStirling, of Atlanta Georgia, who replaces Miss Ada Mackenzie, of Mississauga; that of Quebec to Mrs. Ahearn, of Ottawa; Manitoba, Mrs. K. C. Allen, of Winnipeg; Saskatche wan, Mrs. Parry, of Regina; Alberta, Miss Esther Gardiner, of Calgary; the Pacific Northwest, Mrs. C. S. Sweeney, of Victoria, B.C.; The Maritime Provinces Miss Edith Bauld, Halifax. The runner-upin the Canadian Amateur was Mr.T. Gillespie, of Calgary. In the Maritime, Mr. J. M. Murphy, of Halifax; in the Seniors Tournament, Mr. J L. Weller, of Hamilton; Northwest, Mr. Rudolph Wilhelm, of Portland, Oregon Saskatchewan, Mr. J. P. Runciman, of Regina; Manitoba, Mr. H. E. Gow, ofth Norwood Golf Club, Winnipeg; Alberta, Mr. T. C. Morrison, St. Andrews Calgary. In the Open Championship, C. R. Murray, of The Royal Montreal, in tli play-off secured second place. He was also runner-up in the Quebee Champio! ship. W. Freeman, of Lambton, and Norman Bell, tied for second place in t! Toronto and District. H. Bruce was the runner up in the Sackatchewan Ope: L. Quesnel in the Maritime and Neil Christian in the Pacific Northwest. The runner-up in the Canadian Ladies’ Championship was Miss Roberts: of Beaconsfield, Montreal (she was also runner-up in the Quebee Championshi| The Mixed Foursome Handicap at the Toronto and District was won by M G. Applegath and Mr. Frank Thompson, of Mississauga. Miss MacDonald Regina, was the runner-up in the Pacific Northwest ; Mrs. Des Brisay, of St. Jo! in the Maritime, and Mrs. G. T. Koester, of Elmhurst, the Manitoba. A feature of the 1920 Canadian season was’the revival of the Fourson The Alberta Golf Association staged a most interesting event of this descrip! early in the year for a handsome cup presented by the Calgary ‘‘Herald.’’ ‘I! trophy was won by the Calgary Golf and Country Club. The Canadian Sen! also featured foursomes at their annual Tournament and manyleading clubs, t: had them amongtheir fixtures this season. In every instance the entries in the championships were a long way al of 1919, whilst the quality of golf was immeasurably superior. The most pl
October, 1920 CANADIAN GOLFER 419
ing feature of the 1920 major events is contained in the fact that a number of young players, veritable girls and boys, absolutely showed class, plus. This is a splendid augury for the suecess of the Royal and Ancient game in Canada in the years to come. The older players have fought a good fight but they are un doubtedly slipping and the youngsters are the hope of the game for the future, in this as in every other golfing country. The winners in the world championship events were: British Open, George Dunean; U. S. Open, Edward Ray; British Amateur, Mr. Cyril Tolley; U. 8. Amateur, Mr. Charles Evans, Jr.; French Open, Walter Hagen; French Amateur, Mr. T. D. Armour; British Ladies’ Championship, Miss Cecil Leitch. The three outstanding men golfers of the year are undoubtedly George Duncan, Edward Ray and Mr Charles Evans, Jr., whilst Miss Cecil Leiteh and Miss Alexa Stirling occupy premierpositions in the realm of women’s golf.
In the Vardon-Ray exhibition match at Minneapolis all the proceeds were turned over to the fund for the developing of the Municipal courses in that city. Excellent idea, that. Boras The U. S. amateur champion, Mr. Charles Evans, Jr., has competed five times in the U. S. Open with the remarkable average of 299 strokes per championship, or slightly better than 75 strokes per round. No other amateur has approached these figures. % % aa The Hon. Mr. Macfarland, of Washington, D. ©., in a humorous address last month at the Canadian Bar luncheon at the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, re ferred to the fact that in the United States the 18th amendment had abolished the 19th hole, and that the most precious thing in New York was a ticket to Montreal
The Hon. 8. C. Mewburn, formerly Minister of Militia, who has been ap pointed Chairman of the Canadian Battlefields Memorial Commission, which will carry on memorials to the heroism of Canadian troops on the battlefields of France and Belgium, is a memberof the Hamilton Golf and Country Club and this sea son has taken up the Royal and Ancient game with much enthusiasm * % * J. Stitt Wilson, formerly Socialist mayor of Berkeley, sums up the virtues of golf as follows: ‘‘I knowof no game so exacting on truthfulness, honor, in tegrity, courage, generosity and friendship in victory or defeat. Hvery moment of golf is a demand on a man’s skill and character. Tis brains must reach thi end of his club and across the field, with accuracy and precision. And every hour on the golf links is a test of honor and training of character.’”’ ** & Bythe announcement on the front page, it will be noticed that the Editor has been reluctantly compelled to advance the price of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer 420 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No 6
from $3.00 to $4.00 per annum, single copies 35 cents. With the present extor tionate price of paper andthe highcost of printing, even this increase does yo} commence to cover cost of production. As a matter of fact, 50 cents a copy would not meet the added expense. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ is the only magazine jy America which has not advancedits subscription rates nearly 100 per cent. th, past two or three years. It is sincerely hoped subscribers will recognize the jy crease as long delayed and thoroughly warranted. # % *
‘«Six years ago the three greatest amateur golfers in the United States madetheir hi toric invasion of British turf. These three were ‘‘Chick’’ Evans, Francis Ouimet and Jer Travers —anideal combination to produce results if results were to be producel. Travers wa beaten in his first match; Ouimet in his second by an unknown and Evans fell shortly afte: wards before the hurricane golf of McFarlane. Fate plays queer pranks in anysport, but especially so in golf, Cyril J. Tolley, the Britis Amateur Champion, can appreciate just how Ouimet and Travers, at that time our Open and Amateur Champions, felt about their fate abroad. For as they were beaten at the start, Toll failed to qualify along with Wethered and Hope who came over with him. So destiny seems to have handed the two nations an even break in this respect and proved once again that Georg Lowknew something when he remarked one day to a disgusted star: ‘‘ Well goff is an ’umblin game.’’—‘‘The American Golfer.’’ * ** The United States golfing papers are to-day heralding ‘‘Chick’’ Evans as the greatest amateur golfer in the world, and for once it looks as though the Eagle was not unduly screaming. ‘‘Chick of the Cheery Smile,’’ has this season won not only the U. 8. Amateur, but the Western Amateur andsectional titles by the half dozen. He also led all the amateurs in the recent U. S. Open, only being three strokes back of Ted Ray and has completely disposed of the ambition of his two great rivals, Francis Ouimet and ‘‘Bobby’’ Jones. Yes, it really does look, especially in viewof the disastrous British invasion uponthe part of Lord Charles Hope, Roger Wethered and Cyril Tolley, none of whomeven qualified in the U. S. Amateur, as if the Western wizardis in a class by himself this season * * * Under the heading, ‘‘These golfers give Doctor Osler the laugh, the ‘‘ Mont real Standard”’ says: “«The fateful three score years and ten, that irrevocable dead line popularly supposed to separate youth from age definitely and for all time, lost something of its pertinence, in thi recent playing of the senior golf championship at Ottawa. A cursory analysis of the scores is sufficient to convince even the most unsophisticated ey that there was NO group of decrepit and infirm men for whom the future means little and th past even less. Declining years had takenlittle toll from these veterans of the big outdoors, the open air and the links. Nobetter illustration of that point can be cited than in the performance of George S Lyon, Canada’s grand old man of the links and one of the Dominion’s greatest golfers of a time. His feat of rushing from the International at New York to put up a gross score of 157 and win thetitle, is a state of physical fitness that could well have been put to convenient by someof our first flight golfers of lesser years.’’ * ** Canadian Senior golfers will be interested in knowingthat in the rec U.S. Senior Championship at Apawamis, Mr. Hugh Halsell, banker and ore ope! ator, of Dallas, Texas, won the championship with an excellent score of 162 made up of an 80 and 82. Mr. Halsell was amongtheU. S. visitors to Ottawa last month and playedfifth on the International team, being decisively defeated | Mr. J. E. Caldwell, of Rivermead, three points. Other scores by U.S. Seniors w! participated in the Ottawa match wereas follows: E. J. Hasse(who won 3 point at Ottawa), 174; A. H. Revell (also winnerof 3 points), 179; Darwin P. King ley, 186 (his match with Dr. Courteny endedall square) ; W. Clark, champi' of the U .S. Seniors last year, 187 (he was defeated by G. S. Lyon 3 points) ; G. Waldo, 188 (defeated 1 point at Ottawa by R. S. Weir, K.C.) ; A. M. Woo

191 (winnerof 3 points at Ottawa) ; W.S. Kinnear, 193 (defeated by J. L. Weller, 3 points) ; Frank Presbrey, 194 (1 point up at Ottawa); and J. E. Laneaster, 992 (defeated by A. B. Evans, 3 points). Mr. Halsell, who is 57 years ofage, had quite a runawayfor the U. 8. Championship, his nearest competitor being Mr. C. D. Cooke, of Arcola, with 171. % * *% The California State Golf Championship held over the Del Monte and Pebble Beach courses is an example of the growth and popularity of the Royal and An- cient pastime in California. There was atotal of 269 entries made for the event, with approximately 250 actual starters. In the Women’s event there were 80 participants. This is the greatest number of golfers ever to take part in a golf tournament in the State. The entry list contained the names of players of all ages and ability. It ranged from Frank O’Keefe, of San Jose, who has passed the sixty year mark, to Reggie Hirschmann, who has just turned sixteen. There were included grand fathers and a dozen combinations of fathers and sons. It only goes to show what an appeal golf has overother sports in attracting contestants ofall ages and from all walks oflife. Something over 20 years ago the first State Golf Tournament was staged at Del Monte and the entries numbered something like a dozen or so, a mere hand- ful. Golf was in its infancy then and no sport has made greater strides in the last decade, both in the States and Canada. * * *& That very pleasing English professional, J. Douglas Edgar, has quite come into his own this year. Born at Neweastle-on-Tyne in 1884, he did not attain any golfing prominence until 1914, when he had to his credit the French Open Cham- pionship and the championships of Northumberland and Durham. ‘Two years ago, lured bythe golfing dollars to be picked up so easily, he came over here as professional to the Druid Hill Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia. Last year he did nothing in particular except run away with the Canadian Open Championship at Hamilton with the wonderful score of 278, but this season he has quite come into his own once again. He annexed the Canadian Open at Ottawa in a triple play-off and narrowly missed winningthe Professional Golf Championship of the United States, being defeated 1 up in the finals by the Scot, Jock Hutchinson. This month he won the Southern Open Golf Championship. He has figured ex tremely well, too, in many other competitions and to crown it all, has recently issued quite a psychic book on the game. So he is now in a class with Vardon, Taylor, Ray and Barnes, who loom quite large in a literary way—thanks to their sponsors. Edgaris undoubtedly a great golfer, a very great golfer. If he keeps ‘‘his head down,’’ there is no reason whyhe shouldn’t in the near future attain to continental stellar honours by the winning of the U. 8S. Open Championship. He has all the golfing attributes in his bagso to do.
GRIMSBY GETS INTO GOLF GAME ‘Y RIMSBY, Ontario, is the latest place to get into the golf game, letters of in- G corporation having been applied for this week for the Deerpark Golf and Country Club.

Barnett, of The Norwood Golf Club, playing over the Norwood course Winnipeg, with Miss E. Pugsley against Mr. W. D. Tod and Miss M. Fairchild did the eighth hole in one. This hole is 145 yards. On the 11th of September, Mr. H. C. Allen decided very appropriate! make the 11th hole of Beaconsfield, Montreal, in a one-er. He was playingagainst Mr. H. D. Carr at the time. The 11th at Beaconsfield is a tricky 133 yarder On September 18th Mr. J. F. Deeks negotiated the ‘‘Punch Bowl’’ at th, Vancouver Golf and Country Club with a beautiful shot from the tee. The « tance of this hole is 120 yards to a circular green downhill over a water-hazard The ‘‘Punch Bowl’ at Vancouveris a popular one-shot hole. The stunt has been pulled off there half a dozen times during the past few years. Messrs. R. Wood F. B. Lewis and J. B. Griffen were witnesses of Mr. Deak’ stellar performance: Mr. A. 8S. Taylor, of the Waterloo Golf and Country Club, Galt, was a visitor to the new course at the Elgin House, Lake Joseph, Muskoka, this season and *‘nipped’’ a ‘‘one-er’’ at the first hole, 170 yards, his opponent being Mr. David son, of Toronto. Galt golfers have not before figured in this Hole-in-one com petition, so Mr. Tayloris to be particularly congratulated. The 5th hole at the London Hunt Club seems to lenditself to one-shot nego tiation. Thelatest to find the cup fromthetee at this hole is a very popular men ber of the London Hunt, Major H. N. Niven, who was playing with Colonel Cod ville at the time. “‘Downbythe soundingsea,’’ at fair St. Andrews, N. B., Mr. D. R.

THE ALBERTA CHAMPIONSHIPS Many Thrills are Recorded in a Wonderful Week of Golf—Superb Showing Made by Mr. J. Munro Hunter, Who Wins the Amateur andTies for the Open Championship, Losing the Latter in the Play-off with the Bowness pro., ‘Bobby’? Mair—Mr. T. C. Morrison Runner-up in the Amateur, Whilst Miss Esther Gardiner Captures the Ladies’ Championship
(By Mr. E. R. Spencer, Calgary).
N September 7th was concluded the largest and most suecessfully conduet- ed golf meet in the historyof the Alberta Golf Association. The interest evineed in the affair throughout has been before unparalleled, and is conclusive proof of the keen enthusiasm for the game existent among Alberta’s scattered population.
wo A Study in Contrasts. Mr. Harry Black, of Calgary, who gave Mr. J. Munro Hunter, of Edmonton, a ggreat run for it in fthe Amateur ChampiI onshipI. Both are products of the Scottish School of golf. The game is played here under conditions which are not exactly ideal, and Which Eastern golfers have difficulty in realizing. Our courses, on the whole, are decidedly rough, and although our best players play invariably in the seventies, yet the average scoring is in the eighties, and because of this golfers further East have been inclined to question any statement as to the quality of the talent in the West. 423 424 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 6
But the 1920 National Amateur and the presence at Beaconsfield of a ye resentative number of players from the West changedall this, and at last th, East is beginning to realize that we have players of championship ealibre her This may sound alittle like blowing one’s own horn, but it is in reality a plain statement of what is now knownto most golfers resident in both East and West. and one ofthe fine things about the recent championship was the splendid wa in which the East came forward and gave the players from Winnipeg and ('a| gary the credit they deserved. The showing of two of Alberta’s crack players —Messrs. Gillespie and Hague—at Beaconsfield, had not a little to do with th more than ordinary enthusiasm which was a feature of the 1920 Alberta Chan pionships. It was considered, and rightly so, that those who could take th, measure of these two would havethe right to be considered golfers of more tha ordinarytalent, and the fact that Mr--Gillespie had been runner-up to M Grier in the National event, called out the best players in the Provinee, all of whomwere keen to acquire reputations afield as well as at home. It was a record meet in more particulars than one, andthefield was the best that has yet been brought together by this annual event. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP. Theinterest on the first day was centred in the contest for the Open Cham pionship, and the thirty players who contested it were a splendid aggregation The scoring was not exceptional, although brilliant play was evident throughout At the end of the first round Mr. J. Munro Hunter, of the Edmonton Golf and Country Club, led the field with 78. He went out in 35, but the breaks were against him coming back, and he took 43. Mr. T. C. Morrison, of St. Andrew’s Calgary, was second, with 79. Bobby Mair, pro. of Bowness Club, Calgary ; Mr Chas. W. Hague, of the Calgary Golf and Country Club; Mr. J. R. Hutcheon, of St. Andrew’s, and Mr. J. Leslie Bell, of the Calgary Golf and Country Club, were tied for third place with 80 each, while Mr. Jackson Walton, of Bowness (City Champion, 1919 and 1920), and Mr. Thos. Gillespie, of the Calgary Golf and Country Club (runner-up in Canadian Amateur, 1920) ,were in fourth place with 82 each. It was then considered that the title might yet be anyone’s. Mr. Hunter was being closely watched, for he was playing verybrilliantly at times, while J R. Hutcheon amazed the field by the consistent game he was putting up, as to date, he had not been considered a player of exceptional merit. But his show- ing in the Openaltered that injustice. At the end of 27 holes he was tied with Mr. Hunter forfirst place with 119. His golf was steadier than Hunter’s, and he looked like a winner. Meanwhile Mair was, at the end of the 27 holes, three strokes behind wit! 122, but he tightend up on thelast nine holes, and showing something of his rea! form, camein in 35, or 2 below par, which gave hima total of 157 strokes for the 36 holes. He was first in, and was considered to have a good chance fortli title, while Hunter and Hutcheon wereconsidered his most dangerous opponents Then Mr. Hunter came in, tied with the Bowness professional with 157 strokes and Mr. Hutcheon was conceded to be the only one left in the field to have chance. As he was driving off the 18th tee someone told him a par four would tie him with the leaders. He overran the cup somewhat with his third and his ball rested about thirty feet from the pin. Thinking his chances depended 01 that putt he took a chance and played it for more than it was worth. But | holed out! to find, however, that he needed 157 to tie, not 158 as he had suppos: The end of the day’s play saw Hunter and Mairtied for thetitle, and play-off necessary. It was decided by the committee that this would not con off until Mr. Hunterhad finished competing in the Amateur, and as he won thi: event the play-off was not staged until the rest of the events had closed. Ma then came up against a stiff proposition. Hunter, undoubtedly oneof the fines amateurs in the Dominion, was confident, as the result of excellent play in tl

Amateur. But he had had four gruelling days, whereas Mair had been resting. to his The amateur champion showed no signs of fatigue, however, due no doubt wonderful physique, and for a play-off both commenced rattling off very good scores, Mair going out in 38, Hunter in 40. On the 10th Mair seemed to have thrown awayhis chances for first money. His second shot failed to take his ball to the raised green and it trickled down to the bottom of the miniature embank- ment. In playing out he tried to cut his shot fine enough so that his ball would take the edge of the green and roll in towards the cup. But he eut it too fine, and he had to stand and watch his ball trickle down to its former position. This happened three times, and three strokes
had been irritrievably thrown away, and his lead gone. Heholed out in 9 on a par t hole, and Hunter taking a safe 5. Mair was in the unenviable position of being two strokes down instead of two strokes in the lead. But the golf the clever young pro. put up after his bad break showed his true quality. He started out on the 11th with a smile, did the plucky Scot, and made it in par. From that time on his work on the ereen was amazing. He holed everything within sight of the cup, and astonished the callery by his steadiness of nerve, the firm- ness with which he played each shot, and the results be obtained. On the 14th he reduced Hunter’s lead to one stroke, and it was about this time that Hunter, who is a master with the putter, began to muff the easiest sort of putts. Whether it was Mair’s unexpected recovery or that Hunt- er’s nerves were becoming ragged after four days’ continuous play, it is hard to say, but after the 15th, on which Mair squared the game, Hunterliterally went to pieces.

Those who witnessed the play-off have not finished talking of it yet. Mair’s recovery was considered phenomenal under the conditions, and the young pro aroused the admiration of all by the pretty game he played, and the cool pro fessional self-possession which saw him through. Mair is from St. Andrew’s, Scotland, and when he first came to Canada about seven years ago, became assistant to Jimmie Black, at Beaconsfield. He has been at several large clubs in the States in a professional capacity, and for the past two years has been with the Bowness Club.

\r. Black, or ‘‘Blackie,’’ as he is intimately called, one of Calgary’s best golfers, ctands about 5 feet, 3 inches, and is of very slight build. It was a case of David and Goliath in one respect, although in this case Goliath won Both started out playing mediocre golf. Hunter, too, evidently thought he had something easy, but when Black began to even things up a bit, to gradually vet a lead of one up, then two up, why Hunter played for all he was worth, and Black, the doughty little Seot, gave him all he wanted. Some say Black should have won on the 16th, where he was dormie two. Be that as it may, Hunter squared the mateh on the 18th. And then was played one of the finest bits of volf ever witnessed in the Provinee, to the delight of a gallery of about 350 peo ple. It is worth being related in detail Black had the honor and drove from the tee splendidly, placing his ball a good-250 yards straight up the course Hunter, who had in playing this hole before, come perilously near getting the 300 yard bunker with his drive, used an iron, and sliced into the rough He recovered splendidly, however, and was about eight feet away from the cup with his third. Black had also played a very long second, and was within fifteen feet of the cup with his third. During an intense silence Black walked up to his ball, sighted its course, and (oh the nerve of him!) holed out! Then Hunter vas up against it. He had to hole that difficult eight foot putt or lose all chances of retaining his crown. It speaks much for Mr. [unter that in a erisis like this he should come through. He holed out magnificently, and the nerve-strained gallery voiced his admiration for both in a ringing cheer Both had seored birdie 4’s on a par 5 hole, the worst on the course. They went to the 20th and halved it. Then to the 21st, with the excitement growing and the large gallery increasing, and they halved the 21st. ‘Then came the 22nd, and one of the most tricky greens on the course. Both were there with their third shots, but Black’s ball was in a most unfortunate position, being in soft earth on the edge of the creen, THe tried a chip shot and played it all right, but the breaks were against him. His ball struck a tuft on the green and stopped dead. THe played again and this time laid his ball an easy putt from the hole. But Hunter had been given an advantage, and he took it. With another superb exhibition of nerve he holed a most difficult putt and won the hole and the match one up on the 22nd Both players received an ovation from the gallery, which had witnessed one of the finest bits of golf it may ever see. THE FINALS Then came the finals, with Mr. Hunter meeting Mr. T. ©. Morrison, of St \ndrew’s, Calgary. Those two are the longest drivers in Western Canada It has always been said here that Hunter was the longest driver in the West, if not in Canada, but during the tournament, and in the final match, Morrison demonstrated time after time that he could drive just as far as Hunter and that he could outdrive him on oceasions. On the whole, however, there is not much to choose between their long games. 426 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 6 this very long hole in two of the finest consecutive shots witnessed during{}, tournament. They were beauties. But the lost stroke, far out of bounds, . t fatal to him, and helost the hole. On the thirteenth two very prettyplays \ made. Hunter played his third underthe edge of a bunker and lay very bad It looked like Morrison’s hole, but Hunter surprised the gallery bybrillian: using a niblick which placed his ball 10 feet from the pin. Morrison was al 25 feet from the pin, and ran his ball up within easy putting distance. | Hunter, playing for the hole, missed it, but laid Morrison a full stymie. Mo, son had the putt for the hole. He played the shot well. His ball struek Hunt er’s and cannoned into the hole. On the 14th, Hunter laid himself a stymie and failed to negotiate it, Mo) rison taking the hole, which made the gameall square. Hunter took the rm and also the 17th, while the 18th was halved, which made Hunter 2 up at end of the morning play. Hunter started out in the second round by winning the 19th and 20t! The 21st was halved, but Hunter won the 22nd. Morrison took the 23rd, holine a splendid 45 foot putt for the hole. The next was halved, as was the 25th, th: 26th and 27th, where both had birdie 3’s. Morrison was then 4 down. Hunt took the 28th, but on the next missed a four foot putt, Morrison taking the ho The 30th was halved and so was the 31st. On the 32nd Morrison strivingto 1 duce Hunter’s lead, drove well over the 280 yard road, while Hunterlay bad in long grass at the bottom of the embankment, short of the road. But her Hunter again demonstrated his ability as a golfer. Taking a niblick wit! backspin, he applied all his enormous strength to the task and recovered beaut fully, placing his ball 25 feet from the pin. And hefollowed this up by holing out that putt, which gave him a birdie 3, and as Morrison took 4, Hunter wo the match by 5 and 4, and also thetitle of which he is so justly proud, having already had it in his possession three times. Morrison was beaten by good golf, as he admitted. He just fails to co up to Hunter’s stardard as a finished golfer, but given a year or two we sha hear much from the brawny St. Andrews man. It is rather a curious fact, but none theless true, that the finalists in all tli championship games were formerly members of famous Scottish courses. M1 Hunter is from Edinburgh; Mr. Morrison from North Berwick; Mr. Gillespi from St. Andrews; Mr. Black from St. Andrews; Mr. Hutcheon from Carnousti: Mr. Hutton from Edinburgh and Mair from St. Andrews.

It reassures Alberta eolfers as to the standing of golf in the province and gives those who foster the wame here a great deal of confidence in the possible showing of our players at Winnipeg next year. St. Andrews Golf Club, Calgary, won the team match and retained the Cup, which they had already had in their possession twice before. Their team scored 493 points for six players. St. Andrews made a record this year. It was represented in every final event. They captured the Team Match, the Ladies’ Championship and the Consolation. St. Andrews is at present undoubted] the strongest club in Alberta, and its prestige is still growing. A pleasing closing touch was given to the tournament by the bestowingof the prizes to the fortunate winners by Lieut.-Governor Brett. The presentation took place on the pretty lawn of the Country Club and was made auspicious by the genial remarks of the Lieut.-Governor. The hospitality of the Calgary Golf and Country Club, over which course the championships were played, was much appreciated by those participating and attention was more than once called to the fine condition of the course by the eratified visitors from the other provincial courses In reviewing the meet and the showingof those who participated, one can not help but think that the Alberta Golf Association has a fine tuture betore 1t and that the province has within its gates more than a few embryo champions GOLF CLUB IMPROVEMENT Tens of Thousands of Dollars Expended This Season on the Betterment of Courses. HEseason nowrapidly drawingto a close in the Dominion has been remark able for the extraordinary expenditure of money on golf courses from Coast to Coast. Three or four of the principal Winnipeg courses have been greatly improved this season and the same is also true of Vancouverlinks. In the Toronto District, golf course improvement has been quite general At Mississauga from the plans of Donald Ross new greens have been constructed at No. 1 hole, No. 3, No. 6, No. 8, No. 9, No. 11 and No. 14, whilst new tees have been built at Nos. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7,9, 10,11, 14,15, 16 and 17. The course here is now a full championship one of 6,300 yards. The new greens are all looking in splen did shape and will be available for play next season. At Rosedale, where Donald Ross was also the golf architect, virtually a new 18-hole course, at an expenditure of over $20,000 is now well nigh completed The newgreens here are Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17 and 18, whilst No. 6, No 11 and No. 15 have been greatly improved. A superb system of trapping has been installed at Rosedale, whilst the improvements to the club house, which are now about completed, will involve a further expenditure of some $30,000 Lakeview, from plans of Mr. Herbert Strong, the architect of the famous ngineers’ Club course at Roslyn, L. I., where the U. S. amateur championship vas held last month, is spending over $30,000 on its course this season. Twelve new, up-to-date greens have already been completed and the balance of the course vill be rounded into shape next year. There is no question whatever that Lake view in the future will have some of the finest placed greens on the continent Strongis a ‘“‘green artist’? and no mistake.

Hr 477 A particularly interesting feature of the Wednesday programme was the Driving competition. In the presence of a large gallery, golfer after golfer swungoff from the tee and generally an exhibition of driving was given by the ladies fair which aroused a feeling of envy amongst many masculine players who watched the proceedings. For instance, there are few, very few golfers of the sterner sex who could have beaten the prize winning record of Mrs. C. K. Allen, of Winnipeg, lady champion of Manitoba, who reeled off three consistent tee shots of 183 yards, 194 yards and 209 yards, for a total of 586 yards—superb driving that, which would have won the Driving competition in many a man’s tournament And then howabout that clinking shot of the Lady Champion, Miss Ada Macken zie, which the tape showed to be a 225 yarder!—the longest single drive of the competition. Miss Bauld, too, of Halifax, lady champion of the Maritimes, who won second prize, contributed three beautiful drives, 168 yards, 207 yards and 205 yards, for a total of 580 yards, or just 6 yards back of Mrs. Allen. It was not , 440 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 6 i so long ago that a woman driver who could average 150 yards from the tee was r e v considered quitefirst-class. But not so now. The ladies at Hamilton, dozens of e | s y g r t n a s ’em, were getting their 200 yards or over with a rhythmic swing and follow a t f o through, day in and day out and apparently without the slightest effort. It must i be remembered, too, at the Hamilton competition the course mapped out for th driving was quite a narrow one and not only length, but direction had to }y accurately registered. On Thursday morning approaching and putting was an agreeable featur of the day’s doings. Mrs. Foy, of the Quebee Golf Club, with a perfect 8, won first HW prize. Tied for second place with 9 were Mrs. Helliwell, of St. Catharines, Miss Vat | Helen Baker, of London, Mrs. Rowe, of Hamilton, Mrs. Ronalds, Kanawal Montreal, and Mrs. John Martin, Brantford. . Then on Friday a particularly enjoyable fixture was the Mixed Foursomes This drew forth a record field of players and underideal weather conditions th; IV} event was quite one of the features of a feature week. i Mr. F.

In the morning t famous players were pitted against Mr. Malcolm Cochrane, local amateur, and Alex the club professional, The match was all square at the 14th hole, but the remaining fell to the amateurs, owing to Mr. Lyon’s strong finish of three in par and one bir winning by 4 up on the round. The individual scores were as follows: Evans, 78; L Cachrane, 83, and Simpson 77. Simpson made some wonderful putting, sinking them { corners of the green. The afternoon match between Evans and Lyon was a great battle, and was follow large and enthusiastic gallery of Twin City golfers. Evans started out by winning t three holes in parfigures, and it here looked as though it would be a sufficient lead for of his calibre to hold, but not so with the veteran of many hard-fought matches. Thy hole, 245 yards, was won by Lyon in 2 to 3, the fifth was halved in a par 4, but the again taken by Lyonin a birdie, 3 to 5. This reduced Evans’ lead to 1 hole. The s¢ halved in par, and the eighth went to Evans in 4 to 5, Lyon having driven out of boun ninth was won by Lyon in a par 4, to Evans’ 5. Thus Evans stood 1 up at the turn. St at the tenth, both players were right on their games and halved every hole up to the fo in par, the latter hole being divided in a birdie 3, each player running down long putt fifteenth hole, 300 yards long, saw Lyon, who had the honor, line out one of the fin ever witnessed. His ball was dead on the flag and came to rest only four feet beyond no doubt could have madea 2, but as Evans had pulled into trouble and took 4, Lyon safe and took two putts and won the hole, and became all square, but in order to do so win all three holes in one better than par, which goes to show the perfect golf display: the sixteenth, Lyon found the bunker and lost the hole, and became 1 down again, but the seventeenth in a fine 4 to 5, Evans having overplayed the green into trouble. Lyon, having the honor, drove a beautful ball straight down the fairway, whil pulled his behind some trees, but made a wonderful recovery, which overran the green failed to get dead in his approach.
