however, the reason 1Or the
switch. The Service Club lay
out, being new and all, isn't
in such good condition as the
Washington course. The fair
ways at w. G.. & C. have had
about 20 years more care and
growth than the one-year-old
Army, Navy straight-awayS,
In effect, the choice of the
Washington Club means that
the pros prefer to play over a
sporty up and down hill course
rather than one on which winter
rules must apply on many OF
the holes.
Pros at Play
A District driving-range pro
stole the spotlight yesterday at
Indian Spring from a much
heralded drivlng-range pro from
Wilmington, Del, when LEO
WALPER took both the pro
sweeps and the best-ball event,
with GENE LARKIN of Wood
mont. over ED OLIVER, and his
partner, Hos Pro AL JAMISON.
WALPER carded a sub-par in
dividual score of 68 and bettered
that round with a best-ball score
Of 81, teamed with LARKIN.
CLIFF SPENCER of Beaver
Dam (sans raspberry slacks) and
FRANK CUNNINGHAM of
Burning Tree tied the WALPER-
LARKIN best-ball score but lost
on the seventh hole in the moon
light playoff.
ED OLIVER, 225-lb. Whining
ton pro, was obviously suffering
following the extraction day be-
fore Of two sbceSsed jaw teeth.
which made him jumpy around
the greens. For II holes he was
on the green in the regulation
number of strokes. The only
green on which he didn't land
was the 525-yard sixteenth. His
second shot with a number four
wood carried over that green.
Consistently his drives outdis-
tanced the fairway sizzlers of
CLIFF SPENCER, who is the
longestrhitting Washington pro.
In the driving contest, he out
drove both SPENCER and
WIFFY COX with a clean one
down the middle, BOT yards.
East Potomac

top honors from a field of 10
other teams. Second, following
a two-hole play-off with

DOLAN, the hard-swatting
"Golfing Waitress Of Rock
Greek" OILVERI and MISS
DOLAN shot 46-42-88.
No BOBBY prize was awarded
to the scrambling two-some of
Bob Addie and Lillian Rixey, for
their astounding card of 112,
simply because no BOBBY prize
was awarded.
