Bringing something new to the fall
and winter fgolf circuit, the Mid-
South Open tournament at Pine-
hurst next monUi will be played at
professional foursome match play,
each pair playing alternate strokes
w'ith one ball.
Discussing the innovation this
week Donald J. Ross, chairman of the
tournament committee, said it would
be the first time such an event has
ever been held in this country.
Foursome play, or “Scotch Four
some" as it is generally called, is
comparatively rare in the United
States. About the only time it is
seen in formal competition is in the
international games with British
teams, and then for only one round.
The Mid-South will be played No
vember 13-16, inclusive, and will al
low 64 pairs to compete. All profes
sionals will be eligible to enter and
will form their own pairs.
There will be two round.s of match
play on each of the first two days,
bringing the tournament to the semi
finals for the third day. The semi-fin
al matches and the final match will
be 36 holes and all earlier matches
18 holes.
The tournament will offer a total
of $2,300 prize money. The winning
pair will get $450 each, the runner-
up pair will get $300 each, and the
losers in the semi-finals will get $200
each.
