Now that the open season for chal-
lenges is upon us, two elderly players
who have their golf habitat at East
Potomac Park are out with a challenge
to all golfers who approach their age
to engage in links combat. The men in
question are E. Maury Posey, 81, and
j. P. Hubbell, ~, who is good enough to
give men many years his junior a
severe trouncing.
Posey and Hubbell believe they can
give a stiff argument to any pair of
golfers of 81 years of age and more,
and are willing to take them on over
any course at any time.
