Outdoor America
Here's the Reason!
Articles in GOLF ILLUSTRATED by such men as
Travers, Ouimet, Vardon, Taylor, Ray, Duncan, Hilton, etc.,
are new, have never been published before and appear in
GOLF ILLUSTRATED for the first time. That means that

serious golfer. Ask the cracks and they will express the
same opinion as Harry Vardon does in this letter:
"Sir: I must write and congratulate you on tho
way your golf paper is kept up. It is really wonderful
reading because a golf paper has less scope than other
papers. But after reading it once or twice, J could not
help but be a subscriber as it really is the best golf paper
I have ever read. In every way wishing you success

Our purpose being to make as complete
a record as possible of the history of the
region, we would greatly appreciate any
assistance our Scotch friends in the neigh
borhood would give us. If any reader
of these lines knows any interesting de
tails or family adventures during the war,
or neighborhood traditions of the Mac
donalds that we have failed to record,
we would appreciate his letting us know
about it.

cup, for the glory of Southern Pines.
Yet none of these, experts though they
were, could negotiate the local brigade.
Golf has found its way to the hearts of
the Tar Heels and they take to it as
readily as time out of mind they
have handled the rifle and the thorough
bred. Jones of Atlanta, the little con
federate that sprang from the cradle into
the finals of the Amateur Championship
is not unique in the South. There has
been some driving on these old links since
the birds went North that would be a
credit to Guilford in his going days.
The tournament was won by Henry A.
Page of Aberdeen, who didn't know a
niblic from a soup spoon that time a year
ago. The runner-up was Wimbirley Bow
man, a youth of fifteen Summers and
maybe fifteen trips over the course.
Another old timer on the links of Pine
hurst who had to be coitent to see the
cup sail by was E. H. Richardson, who
makes his ninety as a matter of course
The Southern Pines club was represented
by its quota, and the village of Aberdeen,
sent a round dozen aspirants, including:
Edwin McKeithen, Bill Prillaman, Frank
Page and Lee Page, Doctor Bowman
and Jesse Carter. Pinehurst was de
fended in the lists by Harry Waring and
Howard Phillips. McKeithen can paste
any ball out of sight, and when he has
made arrangements for keeping it in
any given direction he will be a tough
match for anyone. Phillips, next to
Kelly and Gates, ought to make the best
showing for the Summer club in the
coming tournaments. He will be found
in the early eighties, making trouble for
the perennial winners. Charlie Mason
reduced his score from an habitual 100 to
an occasional 85. And a Saturday after
noon in September in the Club House
this year had the aspect of mid-December
a year ago.
An encouraging feature of the Summer
was the improvement nature (with a vast
deal of judicial assistance made by Frank
Maples under the guiding hand of Donald
Ross) made in the turf upon the fair
ways, It rained a flood this Summer in
the Southland, which carried away half
the farms and all the crops, and swelled
the rivers and dammed up the roads.
But it was manna from Heaven for the
Bermuda grass upon the links. Two
great Townsend mowers were hardly
able to keep it down, and there is a happy
surprise in store for the old timers, and
a sad year ahead of the chronic kicker
looking for spots on the lawn.
