GOLF.

Many surprises and a general advance in popularity marked the golf season of 1909. Miss Dorothy Campbell, the woman champion of Great Britain, invaded the United States and won the woman's championship here. It was the first time in the history of the sport that the title has left these shores. Jerome D. Travers, amateur champion in 1907 and 1908, failed in an effort to win the championship of Great Britain. Robert Gardner won the national amateur title and George Sergent the national open. Walter J. Travis earned the metropolitan championship. A summary of the championships and more important tournaments follows:
