,. During one of his ‘99”. with Abe
Mitchell several years ago George
Duncan. the famous British Iink's-
man. made the remark that it would
be only a few years more before
American professionals were divided
into too classes—club instructors
and tournament players. livery
season sees Duncan's prediction
come closer to fulfillment. There
is already an exhibition class in this
country. and if clubs keep putting
up the money with their present
consistency the division is bound to
keep on growing. as experts of the
first rank never sever club connec-
tions and go on the road as free
lanes.
The South. with its fine purses,
has for several years been luring
the professionals away from the
snow-bound North during the winter
months. Some have predicted that
the cities of Texas and other parts
soon would tire of putting up the
money. No such signs are visible
yet. Instead the Southern circuit
for next year gives evidence of ink.
ing on it new lease of life.
For not only is San Antonio once
more out with its offer of a purse of
$6.000. but Dallas and Hot Springs.
Ark.. have also fall into line. Nor
is that all. That bl $10,000 tourna-
ment in California actually has gone
through. This big prize is to be com-
peted for by the professionals dur-
ing the California open champion-
ship at the Brentwood Country Club.
of Los Angeles.
James D. Harncttt who has been
working to put through this list of
tournaments. which virtually. will
blaze a. golden trail for the golf
pros from coast to coast, gives the
particulars.
“Last winter during the open
tournament season inhtlle Southwest
and California there was a, lot said
about putting up large purses and
holding a string of open tourna-
ments during the month of January.
1920." writes Harnett. “After a lot
of work the committees in the dif-
ferent cities have now completed
their arrangements. and I have the
assurance from each city that the
following tournaments will be held:
“First week in January for a
purse of 810.000. California open
championship. Brentwood C. C..
Los Angeles.
“Second week in January for a
purse of $6.000. Texas open cham-
pionship. San Antonio. Tex.
"Third week in January for a
purse of $0,000. Dallas, Tex.
"Fourth week in January for a
purse of $6,000. South Central open.
Hot Springs. Ark.
“In addition to this. there is a
strong possibility of one more 88.-
000 tournament being held in the
vicinity of San Franciscb the first
and second days of January.
“This is more money than has
been put Up in any one month in the
history of the game in this country.
At the open championship held in
Worcester the following prominent
professionals agreed to attend these
tournaments if they were arranged:
Tom Armour. Macdonald Smith. Bob
