MARVELLOUS 63
GIVES BEACH
NEW MARK

Professional golfers who will
participate in the sectional tour
nament Friday to decide who
will go to the National P. G. A.
event at Milwaukee, today are
scratching their heads over the
sensational play yesterday of
Ralph Beach, home pro, over the
Suburban C. C. course, Baltimore.
In a tuning up tour of the
course over which the profession
ais must qualify for the national
tourney, Beach negotiated the
back nine in one over threeS,
which sounds like worlds rec
ord, if it isn't one.
Out in par IS, Beach came back
in % for a card of 63, which is
seven strokes under par for the
18 holes.
Barnett Is Second
Beach's astonishing golf was
flashed in an informal sweep
stakes with a number of Wash,
ington professionals and anna
teurs. The Suburban links is a
championship layout of 6,097
yards.
Beach's So was seven strokes
better than his nearest competi-
tors, Bob Barnett and Roger Pea
cock, the latter Maryland State
amateur champion, each of whom
had 10.
AL Houghton, Kenwood pro, who
has been playing steady golf of
late, missed a short putt on the
eighteenth for a 10 and ended a
stroke in ruck of the two simon
pures.
Beach's So set a course record
for Suburban. He held the old
mark jointly with Lawrence Wis
ner, his assistant. The old mark
was Ct.
