Eastern Golf Assoc Handicap Controversy Grows
The Women’s Eastern Golf Association faces dissatisfaction with the official handicap list issued for 1908. Noting many players are out of date, observers cite Mary B Adams and Margaret Curtis as strong contenders for the Eastern title at Atlantic City, while Julia R Mix defeated Adams in the North and South event at Pinehurst. Other leaders include Harrie Country Club of Brookline, F Fox Huntingdon Valley, Anita Phipps, and F C Osgood. The need for a current, accurate handicap list is emphasized, amid debate over the ranking of players such as Vanderbeck, Morgan of Baltusrol, Gatien of Englewood, and Mix.
