Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Cory, of Bos
ton, are in Pinehurst for the champion
ship tournament. Mr. Cory is the owner
of the well known private links at Great
Island, Mass., near Hyannis, and one of
the leading golfers in the United States.
He has spent the past winter principally
in Florida and has played in nearly all
the big events that have happened on
the peninsula this season, winning a
large number of matches. He is secretary
of the Palm Beach Golf Club and a wel
come visitor on every links in the coun
try. This is Mr. Cory's second visit to
Pinehurst and he is cordial in his
approval of the greens here, saying they
are beautiful and cannot be surpassed
anywhere in the South ; the fair greens,
he says, while not perfect at present, are
fully as good as can be expected in view
of several recent heavy rains.
The juvenile putting contest held Sat
urday 5, on the clock green proved to be
days ago. This phenominal shot was
made by Ceorge A. Mosher, a guest at
the Holly Inn, who drove from the tee
of the third, 116 yards, over a large earth
bunker fairly on to the putting green, in
such a way that his ball rolled fairly into
the hole. This is the first 1 on record on
the Pinehurst course.
One of the best played and prettiest
matches of the season took place on the
links last "Wednesday afternoon between
Charles B. Cory, of Boston, and Donald
Ross, our popular professional. Mr.
Ross gave Mr. Cory a handicap of three
bisques, (strokes which may be dis
counted from his actual score, at any
point or points in the game at the option
of the plaver receiving the handicap).
Both players were in excellent form and
to all lovers of the game was a genuinely
eniovable one, on account of the uni
formly even, neat and finished work of
the contestants. This will be appreciated
when one takes a look at the score, which
shows that the medal play for both was
79, 38 out and 41 in, and that without
the handicap Ross would have won by
only 1 up. As it was the game ended
with Cory 2 up. Following is the score :

Corv utilized one bisque on each of
these holes, halving them with Ross.
Every golf enthusiast and all his
friends turned out last Thursday
afternoon to see the biggest two-ball
foursome match of the season, Chas. B.
Cory and A. H. Fenn versus Donald and
Alec Ross, (the last three prof essionals) .
The weather was perfect and the course
in excellent condition, so that the specta
tors enjoyed an exhibition of real golf
playing. The match was won in the
fifteenth hole by the Ross brothers svith
4 up and 3 to go. A number of very
clever shots, chief among which were : a
neat and skillful lofty shot by Cory,
from a lie behind a temporary obstacle
in the shape of a steam roller, which was
lying just oft the edge of the fair green
in the rough Cory was within less than
a yard of the obstacle and lofted his ball
to carry nearly 150 yards; Cory also
made a beautiful drive at the Ghost
Walk, 11th hole, which won in 2;
another good shot was a long putt from
the edge of the green by Fenn in the
sixth which halved the hole ; the most
sensational shot of the game was a clean
putt with an iron by Donald Ross in the
eighteenth, who holed his ball at a dis
tance of 30 yard3. Following is the
score :
