1T was a successful tourney. Six
l. teen pro-amateur teams and
three teams of amateurs made a
field of thirty eight for the lid-lift-
ing event of the season.
Playing in the third foursome,
Bill Wilkinson, new assistant pro
at Coffin, and his partner, Bert
Street. finished early with a best
ball of SO. Street, the amateur
member of the firm, had the benefit
of some strokes and he made good.
Where he couldn't do any good,
Bill stepped in. BY helping each
other they managed to scamper
under the wire with two-stroke
margin on par II.
Russell Stonehouse, Riverside pro,
and with Charlie Braughton, his
partner, were one stroke under par
when they finished putting on the
thirteenth green. Then Russell ran
down a neat ten-foot putt on the
fourteenth to make them two I'M
der par.
Pushing his tee shot off to the
right, Russ found himself in a
tough spot, because Braughton took
the rough with his second. Russell
had to gamble. He hit the sand
trap just short of the green on
No Is, but his shot out of the sand
was perfect and he got his par.
With pars on the sixteenth and
seventeenth, he still had chance
to get under the Wilkinson Street
total as he lay on the eighteenth
green in three, with a twelve-foot
putt for a So. The putt failed to
drop.
MARKS and McNabney had a
wi chance for a St. Being anna
teurs they had the advantage of two
strokes handicap allowance on the
first nine. One stroke applied on
the first hole gave them a birdie.
Another stroke allowed on the sixth
hole gave them another birdie.
Their best ball as they played it was
Sc on the first nine or a net "a
gc.ng out.
The stroke allowed them on the
eleventh hole gave them another
birdie and when they took a five
on the thirteenth hole the stroke
allowed them a par 4.
Marks came through with deuces
on fourteen and sixteen with pars
on No. Is and No II they were
lust 81 strokes to that point. Only
a par 5 hole lay between them and
a best ball score Of ST. Both need
ed four to get on the eighteenth
green but Marks had ten-foot
putt left for his par 5. 1t lacked
the push, but even a six put them
out in front one stroke with 90.
The playof for second and third
places, between Russell Stonehouse
and Charlie Braughton and Bill
Wilkinson and Bert Street, went
only to the first hole. Russell hit
even par and that was good enough.
/ The others look D s.
In the playof for fourth and fifth
places between the II shooters,
Charlie Higgs, pro at Shelbyville
and J. [. Pasco won out on the first
hole over Bill Heinlein and Orval
Neigh. Higgs hit two beautiful
shots TO reach the first green and
putted for a birdie, although par
would have been good.
