Z The most interesting feature
of golf is the unusual events
THAT happen. An example was
the experience Of four golfers
playing the Kenwood Country
Club course the other day.
There were three brides and
one eagle on the same hole,
an incident that is a rarity on
golf courses.
Eugene Parayano. of Bannock.
burn, and Tony Sylvester, pro at
Bsnnockh1rn, partnered against
Walter J. Strobel, club champion
4 OF Bannockburn. and Leo McNer-
hany. pro at Kenwood.
I'VE were playing the long par
B. No. 5 hole at kenwood," remarks
Sylvester while speaking of the
match. and there were three bird
les and one eagle. 1t was thsN first
time that ] ever played in match
wherein these feats were scored, on
the same hole. Indeed, | never
heard Of it being done before.
II secured an eagle three,
/ thanks 60 q splendid tee drive Of
*, nearly ESQ yards and beautiful
Hnashie iron shot that just missed
hitting the pin, rolling about six
feet beyond the cup. then
dropped my putt for 3.
.strobel and McNerhany were
also on the green in two" continued
sylvester, "but failed to sink their
long puts. Paravano was on in
, and dropped a long putt for his
birdie A.
The match finished all even, with
sylvester having a medal round Of
7s. McNerhany an 81, Strobel an s4
and Paravano an s..
Another trick, which has hap
,pened several times on local links
this year, is driving your bah into
the pockets of your opponent. j. r.
y Wheeler can lay claim to this honor
vnow;
Playing BannOckbuFn with II.
&. HandibOe, he sIashed his ball
i into the woods on the right Of
! the twelfth hole.
tFore," beloved Wheeler as he
Rook his stance and Handiboe
erouched with this warning.
Handiboe almost imediately felt
atinging sensation and discovered
wheeler's ball as he showed his
hand into his right-hand pants
pocket.
"Gosh, didn't know you were
such an sxpert marksman." ioked
,Handiboe. Can you guarantee an
encore?"

Carthy. Jr., George Voigt. Freddy
Mcleod, and Gene Larkin qualified

The one deserving the most
r praise, however, is youthful
Gene LarIxin, the red.haired as
sistant pro at Chevy Chase.
