A we'll balanced first flight began
match play today with Voigt installed
again as the favorite to win the tour
nament of the club over whose course
he learned the game as a caddie
nearly 20 years ago.
Voigt gave a foretaste of what
could be expected yesterday when he
tied with McAleer for low qualifying
score, both registering 75s. The tie
will be played off Sunday. Another
outstanding match of the first round
was that between Standifer and Hufty.
Hufty has been runner-up to Voigt in
two tournaments this year.
Never before in the history of local
golf tournaments has there been such
low scoring as Columbia saw yes
terday and today. Although Is was
the best card turned in, a mark
higher than in other years, most of
the scoring was exceptionally low.
A score of 79 or better was neces-
sary to make the first flight, and a
card of 81 was necessary to get in
the last fight. Even at that one
79-Tony Plansky's score-was
drawn out of the first flight, and one
81 was drawn out of the last flight.
The last of the field finished so late
that it was too dark for a play off
and cards for places in the six flights
were drawn.
McAleer Turns In IS.
McAleer's card of rs was turned in
early in the day, placing him two
shots under the II registered by
Pitt, who led on the first day.
Voigt knew what he had to do,
and although he took a six on the
seventh hole, he should have scored
lower than rs. Coming to the seven
teenth, he had two fours to tie, and
he drove the seventeenth green, only
to miss a short putt for the birdie
three that would have won for him.
He had a down hill 15-footer to win
with a three at the eighteenth, but
the ball failed to drop.
The best bit of golf of the day was
probably the score made by w. L..
Pendergast of Bannockburn, who
turned in II, despite two sevens and
a. six
