May Double Length of Women's Golf Tourney
The United States Golf Association considers shortening the Women’s National Golf Tournament final round in St. Louis from 36 holes to 18. The proposal, urged by the Women’s Association of Boston, has support in New York but no official action yet. Stakeholders note 36 holes may be too strenuous after a full week of play while the U S G A also weighs expanding scope to include more representative bodies and increasing committee size from five to seven. The current handicap rating of eight would stay for the St. Louis event.
