...Professional Golfers' Association has fixed the stamp of official disapproval on the crowded entry list of the Open Championship. Last Summer 360 players teed off at Inwood, L. I.; the first Open Championship ever held (Newport, R. I., 1895) attracted only eleven men. The unwieldy groups attracted by the "open" feature of the tournament have worked a hardship to the first line players. Allowing three days for practice, the Open Championship consumed nine days. Restriction of the entry privilege will cut down the long qualifying period. The P. G. A. has ruled that only those on the eligibility lists...
...Metropolitan open golf championship, Eastern equivalent of the Southern and Western opens, fell to Bob MacDonald, of Chicago. Though virtually all the professionals that gathered for the National championship the week previous at Inwood drove off for a try at the Metropolitan title, little spectacular golf was played. By missing a one-yard putt on the home green MacDonald ran into a tie with Jim Barnes of Pelham, at 295. In the play-off Mac-Donald shot 70, three under par, and defeated Barnes by ten strokes. MacDonald won the same title in 1921, and lost it in a similar...

By virtue of one startling shot from the deep grass on the 18th hole at Inwood, Jones won, in addition to the open golf championship, one of the greatest " feasts of honor" ever heaped on a Georgia table and a resolution of appreciation from the Georgia legislature. Only was there an echo from Alaska missing. Possibly the sight of Hurricane Gulch, Alaska, persuaded Mr. Harding that bunkers are trivial affairs after all. "But," protest the politicians, " he should respect the golfing voters. There are only...
More directly in the Bobby Bruce tradition is Bobby Cruickshank of Scotland and Shackamaxon who swung gamely beside Bobby Jones at Inwood. But he must try again, though on his first notable effort he swung up from behind, tied Jones, and forced a swing-off. Jones won by two swings at the 30th hole...
Others present at Inwood were: Jock Hutchison, who led the field for 36 holes with 142 strokes, singing as he swung and making up limericks about his friends; John Black, golfing grandfather, who (paired with Hutchison), made funny faces and a bad score. Gene Sarazen, 1922, open champion, who wore a varicolored sweater and blew up; Walter Hagen, who pleaded high blood-pressure as the cause for his bad putting...
