Smallpeice, Representative. iadian The Canadian Amateur Championship to be held at Beacons- 1ampionship field Montreal, June 28th-July 3rd, marks the 22nd anniversary ould Go of this event. Duringthis period of well nigh a quarter of a st in 192] century the premiertest of amateur golfing skill in the Dominion has never taken place on a course other than in Montreal, Tor- : or Ottawa, with one exception, in 1896, when the championship was held (uebee. This perhaps can be very well explained by the fact that until recent years, three principal cities named were the only places in Canadareally possessing mpionship courses, and furthermore, the Provinces of Quebee and Ontario sted a golfing population eight or ten times as large as the rest of the Provinces Fi t together. But of recent years conditions have changed, most decidedly changed. tish Columbia has now some of the finest courses in the Dominion, whilst inipeg boasts links of great possibilities. Golfers by the thousands are now ubered west of Port Arthur. In fact, the golfing pendulum is swinging tward. It is of course out of the question, perhaps, ever to think of holding a Can- an Championship on the Paeifie Coast, much as that might be desired. The ance is well-nigh prohibitory, but on the other hand, Winnipeg, these days 95 96 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VIy-No, 2 of fast and luxurious travelling can very well be considered, and as pointed out by so well known a golfer as Mr. Robert Bone, captain of the Vancouver Golf and Country Club in the Mayissue of this magazine, the holding of the ¢hampionshi)) in the chief centre of Manitoba would solve the question of British Columbia golfers entering for the event, as many of the best players on the Coast woul welcome the holding of the meeting in that city, and showtheir appreciation })) attending. The United States Golf Association always sees to it that Chicago and th West are recognized in the holding of the National Championships from timeto time, and there seems nowto be no fitting excuse for The Rdyval Canadian Golf Association not following the same course as regards our own Northwest. Winnipeggolfers one and all, are keen for the Canadian Amateur to be held on one of their greens in 1921, and the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ is strongly of the opinion that at the annual meeting of the R. C. G. A. at Beaconsfield, Tuesday evening, June 29th, the delegates will be doing the proper thing, the right and just thing, to unanimously vote for next year’s championship to be held in Winni- peg. In the interest not alone of Winnipeggers, but in the interest of golf and golfers clear through to the Pacifie Coast this action should be taken, and taken in a most enthusiastic manner. A championship goif meeting is certainly ‘‘eoming’’ to the West after these manyyears. No Place for Mr. Grantland Rice, the well known U.S. writer on sports. in the Cheater, a recent issue of the ‘‘American Golfer’’ has a very timely Particularly in article on the theme that there is no place for the cheaterin Golf any game. ‘‘Last season,’’ says this recognized authority, ‘‘the action of one or two ball players cast a shadow uponanentire game where over 99 per cent. of the men were honest. For most people are by nature suspicious. Too many of them would rather believe the worst than the best. They stalk around looking for a smudge. It is for this reason that, if one jockeyoronefighter is proved to be crooked, then with the multitude all jocke) and all fighters are boundto be-crooks. So while there is no place for the cheater in any game, this goes particularly and peculiarly forgolf. Whygolf in particular? The reason is simple. In golf the sole umpire is a man’s own honesty. A\ II decisionsareleft to the player alone, save in oneor two big championships where referees are provided to settle any intricate problems. In the vast majority of eases in golf there are no umpires, referees, judges, linesmen or inspectors. The gameis run by the honour system, where only player knows whetheror not he broke some rale or just how manystrokes he to It is largely for this reason that golf ethics have remainedat such altitude. The average man might have no compunction at putting something over umpireor a referee supposed to be watching him, but he worldn’t care to doul eross his own conscience. That’s another matter. Golf is now spreading to ma thousands who have yet to Jearn the spirit of the game. Oneof thefirst assi ments these should take up is a close study of the rules and regulations, since golfer is not only a player, but also his own umpire and his ownreferee. And ii he doesn’t know he may take an unconscious alvantage that to an opponent 1 carry quite another meaning.”’ The Foursome Oneof the most pleasing features of the golf game in Can Redivivus in this record season is the revival of the Foursome. The ‘‘( Canada adian Golfer’’ has been particularly keen to see this mst delightful phase of the Royal and Ancient more in evidence the various courses of the Dominion. In Great Britain the Foursome has n¢ ceased to be popular. Hereit has of late years, been very muchinthediscard This year, however, has witnessed its rehabilitiment in many clubs and 1) many tournaments.
