Watson Dauphin the ladies Golf organization comes in for considerable criticism Over selection of the team to play in the Dominion championships of Yar Couver this month. Wrote or. Watson it was with a great Deal of Surprise and also indignation tha i read the report of the picking of the ladies Golf team to play in the Dominion championship a Vancouver August 19 and 20. I am alone in my feelings As to what has taken place but from the Many expressions stated at Clear Lake last week end the ladies of the clubs in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg Haven t a Chance of being picked on the team. This year with one of the outstanding players in Manitoba in the person of mrs. Hodson of Shilo Man. Having taken part in your playoff and doing so Well being the top player of those who took part and playing Over two strange courses your statement that the reason she was not selected on the team was for the very lame excuse that she had not turned in enough score cards. Her Low Handicap from Kingston ont. Club her playing in the recent Clear Lake tournament where she Defeated All other players except the final Winner even your top Winnipeg players and Clear Lake course was also a strange course to her did not have any bearing on her being selected. Our miss Helen who won the Clear Lake tournament this year and on several other occasions was not even considered and if you expect the outside play ers to go into the City to take part in All your. Tournaments of procuring a score card when it would Cost them easy s25.00 train fare and ,510.00 per Day expenses for each six occasions is out of All reason and not any of the Dauphin bran Clon Clear Lake or other clubs could afford it. It seems rather Peculiar that with the handicaps that your Winnipeg players have that they should require anywhere from -20 to 30 strokes More when playing Over the Clear Lake course and can be beaten by Many of the out Side club members where they expect to make any score on the Billy Capulano club course in Van Couver. My opinion and of Many others outside of Winnipeg is that if fou expect to have a winning team from the province of Manitoba you will have to have a different me Thod of picking your players and not Winnipeg players each year. I see no reason Why the committee in charge cannot figure out some reasonable method satisfactory to both City and country clubs in the future and give the country players a Chance to prove their game.
