V
PLANS for this seasons
Inaugurat ion or Midwinter-
Tournament are
now complete and
there is every assurance
that the event will be one
of the most important
ever held here. Though
only in its second year,
this event has already taken its place as
one of the great National contests of the
year; fully as important as the annual
United North and South Championship,
which now attracts the attention of the
whole golfing world.
The success of last year's event was most
signal and every one of the great com
pany of golfers who assembled here went
away delighted with Pinehurst and its
golf course, planning to return again,
and this year's tournament will bring
many of these and scores of others.
Northern golf has at this season of the
year, but recently ended, and the oppor
tunity to participate in one more contest
is a tempting one to those who have
given up their favorite game with reluc
tance. Then again a change from busi
ness after the holiday season, is most
refreshing.
The list of participants will include
golfers from many parts of the country
and nearly all of the leading clubs will be
represented, with large delegations from
New York and vicinity, Philadelphia,
Washington, Baltimore and Pittsburg.
Play will begin Wednesday morning
January, 11th, and continue through
Saturday, and the event will be preceded
by an international tournament open to
advertising men, thus giving a full week
of tournament golf.
A gold medal will be offered for the
best gross score in the preliminary round
of eighteen holes and the players will
qualify for the following divisions :
FIRST SIXTEEN PRESIDENT'S CUP ; SEC
OND SIXTEEN SECRETARY'S CUP ; THIRD
SIXTEEN TREASURER'S CUP ; FOURTH
SIXTEEN CAPTAIN'S CUP.
Silver cups will be given to the run-ners-up
in each of the first four divisions,
and the eight loosers in the first round of
match play, will play for consolation
cups, one in each division.
The tournament will close Saturday
with an eighteen hole medal play handi
cap in which a gold medal will be given
for the best gross, a Sterling cup for the
best net, and a silver medal for the second
best net scores.
Entries will be received until the even
ing before the event, both by mail and
wire, and in necessary cases, up to the
time of starting.

for the visitors during tournament
week, among which informal social
events, dances, card parties and the like,
at The Carolina and Holly Inn, will be
most enjoyable. In addition informal

Tuesday and Friday and a pistol shooting
tournament is also announced for Friday.
Afternoon tea will be served at the
