At Portmarnock

It was the biggest crowd of women that had ever been seen on an Irish golf course. They scuttled along over the hillocks and through the furze of the seaside course at Portmarnock, Ireland, last week, dropping purses, strings of pearls and beads, rings, rosaries. They were following two 21-year-old English girls in the finals of the British Women's Golf Championship. One of the two, Enid Wilson, an inch over six feet tall, had won the medal. She had beaten Elsie Corlett who had put out the only American girl in the tournament in the third round. The other, a head shorter, was Wanda Morgan, who lives in Kent, likes to paint, was unknown as a golfer till a year ago.

After lunch, Wanda Morgan was only one down but in the afternoon she began to slice her drives, lost the match on the 30th green when Enid Wilson was seven up. Champion Wilson's father had promised her either an automobile or a trip to the U. S. if she won. She chose the latter, planned to compete in the Women's Championships of both the U. S. and Canada.
