IT'S GETTING to be quite a habit
with George j. Voist of Bannock-
burn-this business of repeating
in local golf tournaments.
OF course. the imperturbahle
George, king of all he surveys in the
cO!fnC realm about Washington, ac-
quired the winning habit some years
ago, when he still was a public links
star. But only lately has he taken
unto himself new prerogative-the
repeating habit.
Yesterday he repeated in the Indian
Spring Golf Clubs invitation event
winning the final round from Page
Hufty of Congressional, whom he
trounced in Il poorly played ultimate
round by , and l. Experience and the
fact that lie was George j. Noigt won
the tournament for him For had
1fufty played the game over the last
nine of which he is fully capable
the same game he showed over the
lengthy eNpanse of the first nine at
Indian Spring he would have had
Noigt ''in the bag" by the time the
Seventeenth was reached instead of
extending the hand of cangratulation
to Voigt on the seventeenth
voigt Has Poor Round.
Toigt had his poorest round Of the
tournament yesterday. finishing the
match with a 4 on the last hole for
IS. Noigt himself admitted he was
lucky to win, for a tired George
Noigt played the final against the
youth and vigor of Hufty. A Eoigt
whose tee shots faded to the right.
and who found more bunkers than
the Bannockburn star knew were on
the golf course, but the same cool
man of iron nerves who has pulled
many golf match out of the fire by
sticking to his task when the firing
became hottest.
The same pair met in the final
round of the Baltimore Country Club
tournament last week with the same
result. except that Voigt downed HUFF
ty at Baltimore and 3, and never
was down during the match.
Yesterday Hufty started out with
q hurst Of speed against the fading
Volgt that made it look as if the
youngster would be so far ahead at
the turn he could not be caught.
He won the third and fourth and
should have won the second, but
was thwarted by a dead stymie.
Going to the long seventh he was
! up and took puts. to give
'oAoL a AiilL clllGI TWO UldSUlIlCenI
shots to the green at this long hole.
Voigt squared the match at the
eighth with his one fine shot of the
roundva spade mashie dead to the
pin, but lost the ninth and tenth, to
give Hufty a 2hole lead again.
The youngster missed 3-footer
at the thirteenth to allow Voigt to
square, and the end was in sight,
for George Voigt square at the four
teenth is the master of any given
golf match-at least against any
local player. And so it turned out
yesterday.
Hufty's Mistakes Costly.
Hufty made just enough mistakes
to permit Voigt, playing par with
impeccable regularity, to take the
lead at the short hole and end the
match on the seventeenth with a fine
4-foot putt for par 3. which drop
ped into the cup with the sound
which denotes the well hit shot.
If any local golfer ever had a
splendid chance to beat Voigt this
year, Hufty had it yesterday. He can
lay the blame on that missed putt
at the thirteenth and a pushed iron
shot at the fourteenth. together with
failure of chip shot to stay in the
cup at the long sixteenth. He found
George Voigt pushing his tee shots
into bunkers. fading his long iron
shots far to the right of the line and
even missing short puts.
Voigt probably is one of the finest
putters that ever struck a golf ball,
yet he missed two short ones YES.
terday, one at the fifth to win and
another at the twelfth to win and
square the match. Hufty didn't miss
any real wee ones except at the thir.
teenth, but he blew at least four of
less than 10 feet, getting down only
one of respectable length, at the fif.
teehth, where 9-footer for a half
dropped in.
Voigt had Guy NJ. standifer we'll in
hand after the turn in the semi-final
round, winning the eleventh. twelfth
and thirteenth holes to establish a
margin the Columbia star could not
overcome. AS 1t was. Standifer won
the fourteenth with birdie 2, and the
sixteenth with a par 5, carrying Voigt
10 the f1nal hole, where the Bannock.
ourn player won with par 4.

boy golfer of the Argyle Golf Club,

of the way, but squared on the final

par on the twentieth to win. He

the shoulders of the crowd which fol-
lowed the pair to the twentieth hole.
