The majority of places will be allotted the South of England, including London, where the bulk of the profes- sionals are in business. According to present arrangements, the qualifying competitions in the South, and probably in the Midlands, will take place on in land courses, in the neighbourhood of big cities. In the South, an inland course acar London, presumably a course of the standard of Sunningdale. Walton Heath, and St. George's Hill, will be selected. and it is here that all Overseas cotapeti tors, including the Americans, will be called upon to qualify. This entirely new departure from the usual practice has been undertaken on the strong recon mendation of the Professional Golfers' As sociation.

A FINANCIAL ASPECT.

It was represented to St. Andrews that, under the old system, players were com pell to meet several days before the contest and to play qualifying rounds on links ५ near as possible sometimes twenty miles away to the one in which the championship itself was to be decid ed. In this way much expense was in- curred, and much time expended by men having to travel long distances only to fail to find place in the magic, circle. A journey to Sootland, for example, actually meant a week spent in practis ing and in competing, necessitating, minimum expenditure of 420, a sum which the majority of professionals cannot afforci.

A group of 70 persons, claiming to be heirs of a Swiss named-Mayer, who died at Hanley, Staffordshire, in 1960, leaving. a fortune of 200,000, met at Berne re cently, and decided to ask the help of British capitalists to prove their claim to the fortune before the British courts.

In the past, members of golf clubs bayc been largely responsible, quite uncon sciously, of coprec, for a great deal of the congestion and the overcrowding of championships by men who, from their playing abilities, ought never to have been there. In order that their profes- sional should compete in the champion- ship members of clubs have subscribed substantial sums of money to defray the expenses of the local hero." If this were solely means of providing their man with a jolly good holiday, then there is nothing much to say against it except that the holidaymakers do impede those who go to the championships beat on strict business.. On the other hand, it the money is subscribed in the belief that the local "hero" is a potential champion, then it is nothing more or less than downright sheer waste.

While men like J. H. Taylor and Duncan are strong supporters of sectional qualifying competitions, there are others who hold different views. For instance, Ray believes, that the scheme will defeat its own end, because all sorts, and conditions of players obscure professionals,

assistant National armies of amateurs, whose handicaps are two or less will, just for the fun of the thing, try their hand in the qualifying competitions. And in the general scramble, saya Ray, some mira- culous rounds will be accomplished by players who, when they get to the cham pionship proper, will either retire or tear up their cards long before the finish...
