sistant golf pro at the Con-
gressional Country Club, will
attempt to score a hit at the
Philadelphia Open which starts

Annapolis hoads course with a par

IA, credited to Walter Hall. the
home pro.
Last Monday he again indicated
AiA ability by crossing u at the
Rolling Road course in Baltimore.
Congressional and Manor are the
only courses he has played around
WASHINGTON.
He did Manor i'm IL strokes
and Congressional in the. same
number. Twice has he regis
tered 33 and 81 for nine-hOle
rounds at Congressional, but as
yet has been unsuccessful in
grouping pair Of figures like
these.

He spent IL months with his brother
in New York before coming to Con-
gressionaI. He learned his golf
from his father, also a pro.
He is an excellent clubmaker,
equally skillfuI in supplying the
