Show PLACE AGE LIMIT FOR GOLF Present Championship Tourney Conditions Condi-tions Held Unfair to Young Players in Service. When the Western Golf association last season voted to do as it pleased anent the holding of a championship tournament, interpretation of an amateur, ama-teur, abolition of the stymie, and so on, it came in for more or less adverse criticism in the East. It now looks as though the W. G. A. might "back up" a trifle in at least one phase of its radicalism, there being a growing sentiment sen-timent among the directors that the amateur championship event should have a minimum age Ilrtit of forty years. This, of course, would tie in the nature na-ture of a war-time substlLution, as It has been pointed out that tournaments tourna-ments under present conditions are unfair un-fair to the younger men in service. A suggestion has also been made to divide di-vide the field into classes according to ages! say forty to fifty, fifty to sixty, sixty and upward. This in a way calls to mind the annual seniors' gathering at Apawamis. One other contemplated change Is to limit the Western junior championship champion-ship to junior members of the Western West-ern Golf association clubs, or to sons of members of those clubs. This suggested sug-gested move is the outcome of goings-on goings-on of a "high jinks" nature during the last junior meeting at Emoor. |
