Autumn Tournament Opens Golfing Season
THE winter golfing season at Pine
hurst was officially ushered in on
November 5, 6, 7 and 8, with the
playing of the nineteenth annual Autumn
tournament, the first of a long and interest
ing series of tournaments on the Country
Club's schedule.
Donald Parson, of Youngstown, Ohio,
a member of Pinehurst's winter cottage
colony, Was off" to a flying start in the
qualifying round of this event, winning the
medal with a card of 39-41-80, and kept
up his victorious march to the finals where
he met and defeated Halbert J. Blue, of
Aberdeen, by the comfortable margin of 4
and 3 for chief honors and the first division
trophy.
Parson's nearest opponents in the qualify
ing round were John D. Armstrong, of the
Shennecossett Country Club and Blue, who
finished out the day with rounds of 81 and
82 respectively. Then followed F. C. Mc
Lain, Brookside, 86; Francis T. Keating,
Pinehurst, 93 ; R. D. Cutler, Hartford Golf
Club, 93 ; Rev. T. A. Cheatham, Pinehurst,
94, and Alexander Julian, Cincinnati, 96,
those eight making up the first division.
Four divisions qualified. Addison Boren, of the Sound Beach
Golf Club, won the second division trophy by virtue of a 2 and 1
victory over P. B. O'Brien, of Detroit, and C. L. Becker, of Phila
delphia, N. Y., took the measure of H. N. Card, of the Canoe
:
Donald Parson, of Youngstoivn, Who Opened
the Golfing Season at Pinehurst by Win
ning the Annual Autumn Tournament.
Brook Club, for chief honors and trophy in
the third division. The trophy in the fourth
division went to M. E. Nussbaum, of Bain
bridge, Ga., who defeated R. C. Blancke, of
Montclair, 2 up.
In his match with Blue, Parson was but
1 up going to the seventh hole, but he took
that hole, halved the eighth and won the
ninth, making the turn 3 up, and from then
on the final outcome of the match was never
in doubt, each player holding his own and
with the exception of the eleventh, which
Parson won when Blue required a 7 after
driving into the pond, every hole on the
inward journey was halved.
The most unusual match of the tourna
ment occurred in the . third division where
Becker came through victoriously after be
ing 4 down at the sixth tee in his match
with Card. He gained two holes between
there and the tenth, making the turn 2 down,
and evened the match on the thirteenth. He
lost the fourteenth, then made a clean sweep
of the fifteenth and sixteenth and ended the
match by winning the seventeenth.
Nussbaum had a similar experience in his
session with Blancke in the fourth division,
but it was not until the last hole had been played that the match was
decided. He was 1 down at the turn, evened matters on the six
teenth and then scored successive wins on the seventeenth and
eighteenth.
