7K. "PINBHURST OUTLOOK) VOL. XXIV. NO. 2 DECEMBER 15, 1920 10 CENTS DIEGEL AND ARMOUR TAKE FIRST FALL AMATEUR PROFESSIONAL BEST BALL TOURNAMENT. BRILLIANT GOLF MARKS INAUGURATION OF THIS EVENT. The first annual Fall Amateur-Professional Best Ball Tournament and Inter Club Contest played at Pinehurst brought together a field of 80 of the country's leading golfers, and indicated conclusive ly that this event is to be a popular one among all amateurs and professionals. Coming at a time when golf is well on the wane on northern links on account of weather conditions, it starts the ball roll ing for professionals in Dixie, and in ad dition to the rich cash prizes for profes sionals, the possesion of the Club Trophy "brings out keen competition. The field was led from start to finish by Thomas T. Armour of the Lothian burn Club, Scotland, and Leo Diegel, who has just signed up with the Lochmoor Club of Detroit for next season, who turned in the remarkable score of 275 for 72 holes an average of a shade better than 69 for each round. While Diegel received $500.00 for his share of the suc cess and the first prize trophy went to Armour, it was unfortunate for those golfers that they were not paired from the same club, for it lost them custody of the Club Trophy. Following close on their heels came Perry Adair, of the Druid Hills Club, At lanta, and Douglas Edgar, professional of that club and Canadian and Southern Open champion, who took second honors with 277, finishing two strokes behind the win ders, and the Druid Hills Club was award ed the custody of the Club Trophy, by virtue of its representatives leading the field of club pairs. Permanent posses sion of the trophy goes to the club win ning it for the third time. Diegel and Armour started proceedings by turning in a 67 for the first 18 holes, against 68 for Edgar and Adair. During the afternoon round Diegel and Armour stuck to the same consistent brand of golf that marked their morning play and scored a 69, while Edgar and Adair fell by the wayside for Edgar and Adair and 73 was the best they could do. The morning round of the second day's play, however, brought out a 67 for the Atlanta pair, against 68 for Diegel and Armour, and the contest took on, a more exciting aspect, but the handicap of 5 strokes lost the day before was too much for them to overcome, and in spite of their brilliant 69 for the last round, second money and the Club Trophy was the best they could do. Continued on Page Ten) TLhc psalm of (Solf (With apologies.) EDGAR A. GUEST Tell me not in mournful numbers Golf is but an idle game For the love of battle slumbers In the soul which thinks it tame. 1 Golf is real; golf is action, Golf's a strife for self-control, And there's downright satisfaction When in par you make a hole. Both enjoyment here and sorrow Face the golfer, day by day Every dub is sure tomorrow That a better game he'll play. Hooks are bad and slices fearful, Topped shots lead us to the traps.. But all golfers hearts are cheerful, They will sink their putts perhaps. On whatever course you battle, Leave no divots in your track, Be not like dumb, driven cattle, Stop to put the green turf back. Thoughtful of your eager brother, Signal him to come on through. If your ball the grass should smother, And he'll never curse at you. Lives of golfers all remind us With the greatest we may stand If we never leave behind us Footprints in the bunker's sand. Footprints where perhaps another Coming up to play his ball, Punished by an erring brother Cannot get it out at all. Let us then be up and doing, Thoughtful of another's fate, While the golf pill we're pursuing, Learn to swat but swat it straight. OLD GUARD AT SOUTHERN PINES.
