Chicago Golf Annual 



The eleventh an- 

 nual tournament of 

 the Lumbermen 's 

 Golf Assoeiation of 

 Chicago was fea- 

 tured by an exciting 

 plar-ofl' between Ad- 

 dison Stillwell of 

 Chicago and W. J. 

 I'oye of Omaha. In 

 the championsliij) 

 event these two con- 

 testants tied after 

 36 holes of plaj, and 

 the play-off occurred 

 on the first hole, 

 which is 512 yards 

 long. Both played 

 corking good golf, 

 but a missed putt 



placed Mr. Foye's ball 15 feet beyond the cup. Stillwell won by a 

 wonderful shot from a sand ridge, which placed his ball within 8 feet 

 of the cup and he "holed out" in a four, thus giving him three legs 

 on the cup, he having won previously in 1914 and 1915. 



A perfect day made the play thoroughly enjoyable, the showers hold- 

 ing off until everybody had finished and all were homeward bound.
