that Count! j 1
With the help of Uncle Sam
and a unique method of com
puting scores, local golfers may
be competing for State and Nat
ional titles in a tournament de
veloped by the American Golf
Association. The major differ
ence between this event and
stereotyped tournaments is that
the golfers will be playing
against par rather than each
other.
Rules of the tournament call
for qualifying and competitive
rounds to be played on the golf
ers home course which will
eliminate financial worries,
travel, and time away from
work.
Attested score cards submitted
by mail will be computed
through a special scoring sys
tem developed by the AGA for
use in tournaments of this typo.
No handicaps are used, and all
rounds are to be played under
the existing rules of golf. Offic
ials of the association point out
that this is a basic test of golf
ing skills and not a sweep
stakes event.
Qualifying rounds will consist
of thirty-six holes to be played
between August 22-31. Entrants
who qualify will be shooting for
State and Nat onal titles in four
divisions: Championship 140 (or
under) -152, AAA 153-168. AA
169-184, A 185 and over. Troph
ies and awards will be present
ed to State and National win
ners as well as runner up in
each division. No prizes will ex
ceed the two hundred dollar
limit allowed for amateur golf
ers. The tournament is open to all
amateur male golfers 15 years
of age or over. The entry fee
for all events is ten dollars
which includes a one year mem
bership in the AGA.
