If you shot q so on a par 70 golf
course, you would naturally expect to
win a'golf match, and by comfortable
margin, wouldn't you? Sandy Armour,
the Congressional pro, found himself 2
strokes back of Farley Clark, young
Georgia pro, the other day, even though
the Congressional mentor registered a
SO for that tough Congressional layout.
Clark, knocking the ball straight down
the middle and putting like q master,
shot a 81, which Is six better than par,
getting brides Unfortunately and
otherwise playing flawless game. Clark
came to Washington to visit his brother
Archie, who is assistant to Sandy
Armour In the Congressional golf shop.
But Sandy more than made up for
that beating two days ago, when he
played the last six holes in one over
even IS, to win match from three
amateurs, when it seemed that the am
ateurs had him in the bag and the
pro was in the way of being consider
ably out of pocket If he hadn't done
something like that. Four Of the last
six holes at Congressional are par 4
affairs, but they all looked alike to
Sandy and Spark Plug" his putter,
which rolled them in from any and
all angles.
