GOLF PROFESSIONALS
Championship Scheme Is Lost
The annual general meeting of the Ladies' Golf Union, held en February G at the Queen Mary Hall of the Y.W.C.A. in London, was a triumph for the authority of the Union, the sanctity of all that it has held and done in the past, and intends to go on doing, writes Eleanor E. Helme in' the Morning Post. Those pro- gressive souls who would have it take time by the forelock, and bo prepared for a situation of which the early founders and no conception, but which must arise in the future,
were routed,
To be more explicit, the resolutions that the present Ladies' Amatour Golf Championship shall be replaced by a championship on similar lines open to all women golfers, whether amateur or professional, and that all members of clubs, affiliated to the Ladies' Golf Union, whether amateur or professional, shall be eligible to obtain L.G.U. handicaps, were do feated by votes of those present and those holding proxies in a proportion of something like 10 to 1..

And the joke of the whole proceed- Ings is that the only existing women professionals have nover asked for an Open championship, and would probably not play in one if it were
