Amateur Voigt

George J. Voigt, Washington golfer with many a championship cup on his mantle, has not carried clubs for hire since he was 16; has not received any consideration, directly or indirectly, for playing or teaching the game; nor because of his skill as a golfer received any remuneration from any firm dealing in goods relating to the game; nor played for a money prize. Voigt has not lent his name or likeness for the advertisement or sale of anything except as in the usual course of business; nor permitted Lis name to be advertised or published for pay as the author of books or articles on golf of which he is not actually the author. He has not received any consideration because of his skill at the game; nor has he acted in a manner detrimental to the best interests and the true spirit of the game.

Thus ruled the executive committee of the United States Golf Association, and accepted Voigt's entry for the National Amateur Championship. Thus collapsed charges which resulted in Voigt's ineligibility in the District of Columbia (TIME, Aug. 8). The charges originated out of Voigt's employment as a secretary to Edward B. McLean, Washington publisher with a private golf course. The above list of doings which Voigt has not done constitutes the U.S.G.A. tests for all amateurs.
