First Annual All-Season Members Tournament
(By E. A. Denham)
8" T
THE Pinehurst Country Club's First
Annual Season Members' Tourna
ment was sprung last week and
about thirty full-fledged and presump
tively full-paid members of the Club took
part in the qualifying round and were
led into camp by Howard G. Phillips,
whose 76 was good for the medal with
five strokes to spare.
E. L. Scofield, who has generally been
there or in the immediate vicinity when
medals have been handed around this sea
son, passed up his usual role and con
tented himself with an 84. This was
good only for third place, with John D.
Chapman figuring as the runner-up to the
medalist, at 81.
Scofield atoned, however, for his tem
porary lapse by wading through the field
in the match rounds and winning the tour
nament. His victims, in the order of their
demise, were Frank T. Keating, John D.
Armstrong and R. C. Shannon, 2nd.
When the first round of match play
began, the next day, Phillips, the medalist,
withdrew and allowed his match to go to
Shannon by default. Phillips' medal
winning round of 76 had also brought him the major prize in the
Tin Whistle Swatfest, for which the qualifying cards of the Season
Members were accepted, and Phillips figured it was somebody else's
turn to do a lot of work directed towards the acquisition of the final
tournament trophy.
E. L. Scofield 's winning ways came into evidence in a defeat of
F. T. Keating by 1 up, at the end of the only really close match of
the -round, and he passed into the semi-finals in company with John
D. Chapman, R. C. Shannon, 2nd, and John D. Armstrong.
The semi-final round brought Scofield into the final by virtue of
2 and 1 win over Armstrong and resulted also in the father sur
prising defeat of John D. Chapman by R. C. Shannon,' 2nd, who
won by 3 up and 2 to go.
Shannon started out by taking the first hole in a stroke under
par. He won the second also, with an inglorious 6 and he was 3
up at the tenth hole. Then he saw all his accumulated gains swept
away by Chapman, who took three in a row and evened the match,
only to lose it when Shannon gathered in the fourteenth with a
birdie 4, the fifteenth with a perfectly good 3 and the sixteenth and
last hole of the match with a 5 to Chapman's 6.
Their cards were as follows :
Shannon, out 4 6 5 6 4 4 5 3 441
Chapman, out 5 7 5 4 5 4 4 4 4-42

Tournament this week

Shannon clashed with Scofield in the
final round, played on Friday, and Sco
field won the match and the tournament,
4 up and 2 to play. Scofield went out
in 39 and was 3 up at the turn and 4 up
at the tenth. Shannon registered his first
and only win on the eleventh hole and
all the others were halved until Scofield
brought the match to an end by winning
the sixteenth. Scofield's birdie 4 on the
fourteenth threatened to bring the con
test to an earlier conclusion but Shannon
couldn't see it and ran down a long one
for a 4 of his own.

R. H. Hunt won the second division
trophy by successive wins against E. H.
Wiswell, H. H. Rackham and Dr. J. S.
Brown. It was a 19 hole affair with A.
S. Higgins that landed Dr. Brown in the
final round, where defeated him by 2 in 1.
James Barber carried off a popular victory in the third eight.
The Englewood veteran took his first round match by default and
then defeated Pat O'Brien, 2 and 1, and, in the final, won against
Charles S. Waterhouse by the safe and sane margin of 8 up and 6
to play. O'Brien, Barber's victim in the. semi-final, was on the
winning end of a 19 hole match with B. V. Covert, in the first
round.
