A Great Week of Golf
THE week just passed has been a great one for golf and a
number of interesting events have been on docket to
engage the attention of the linksmeri.
Among these was the annual Seniors’ tournament, which brought
out a held of fifty-eight con
testants ranging in age from
lads of fifty-five to middle
aged gentlemen in the upper
seventies. Then followed the
Tin W h i s 11 e s’ anniversary
event, a flag contest at handi
cap, some unusually fine ex
hibition matches by profes
sionals and the first 1924
hole-in-one.
BROWN, SENIORS’
CHAMPION
George T, Brown, of. Lon
don, Ont., member of both the
London Hunt and Country
Club and Toronto Golf Club,
won the fourth annual Seniors’
championship. His opponent
in the final was another Do
minion representative, J. L7”
Weller, of Hamilton Country
Club, Hamilton, Ont. The
margin of victory was 4 up
and 3 to go.
Brown had won the medal,
as announced in last week’s
Outlook, and played the best
golf all through the tourna
ment. He never was seriously
threatened in any round and
his only losing hole in the
final showdown was the 14th.
He defeated W. S. VanClief,
of the Richmond County Club,
Staten Island, by 4 and 2, in
the semi-final round, in which
Weller took the measure of A.
S- Higgins, of the St. Andrew's
Club, Yonkers, by the same
score.
Brown on two occasions has
been runner-up in the Canadian
Seniors’ championship to that
grand old man of Canadian
golf, George Lyon, conceded to
fie the greatest golfer of his
years.
' Winners in the five supplementary divisions were: Robert H.
Hunt, of Worcester, Mass.; Franklin P. Lee, of Framingham,
Mass.; J. A. Middleton, of Chicago; W. B. Ballou, of North
Attleboro, Mass., and Robert Foote, of New Haven. It was
- rather, - a Massachusetts—New
England — Holly Inn tourna
ment. Five of the winners (all
• except Middleton), hang their
hats in the Holly Inn while in
X Pinehurst; four of that five live
in New England and all but
Foote of the “Down Easters”
are Bay Staters. Hunt, Lee,
X Ballou and Foote are Holly Inn
Pirates, sailing that good craft
“Friendship” through untroubled
water hazards in this land of
• golf.
TIN WHISTLE
ANNIVERSARY
C. L. Becker, as befits a club
captain, led the Tin Whistles in
their 20th anniversary tourna
ment, a flag event at handicap.
Thanks to a fine 86, the best
round he has played on the
championship course since it
was revamped, he “lived” all
through the 18 holes and still
had a stroke coming to him,
which he took from the 19th
tee and thereby won chief
honors in Class A, just a
whisker ahead of John D.
Chapman, who took the last of
his allotted 79 strokes by way
of putting into the 18th cup.
Both scored well in view of the
day being quite windy. The
entry of 67 was the largest of
the year. ,
George T. Brown, of London, OnL, twice runner-up in the Canadian
Seniors* and zvmtier of the annual Seniors* championship
at Pine hurst this week.
Winners in the other classes
were: Glass B, J. M. Jamison;
Class C, G. W. Statzell; Class
D, G. A. Magoon. The sum
mary is given on another page. V
