scoring as fast as that. These
juniors can play golf.
Congressional Country Clubs
links team, thirsting for revenge
for the twin lickings handed them
at Richmond last week end, will
entertain Bobby Cruickshank and
his band of club sWingers from the
Country Club of Virginia next Sat-
urday, which will probably give
Witty Cox some entertainment. Wifi
has been taking a lot of good
natured rubbing because he was
unable to win match at Richmond.
Over his home course he should do
all right against Cruickshank and
his partner. The match will start
around 100 and Congressional will
have stronger team than that
which Travelled to the Virginia State
capital last Saturday.
Worsham Gets a Shock.
Next time Virgil (Buck) Worsham,
young assistant to Bob Barnett at
Chevy Chase, takes on a feminine
golfer and gives her a generous
handicap he's going to make sure
his opponent isn't Betty Meckley in
her best scoring mood. Buck shot
70 at Indian Spring. and managed
to exc out slim victory over the
former District and Mid-Atlantic
champ. But he had scrap on his
hands every inch of the way, for
Mrs. Meckley, playing from the red,
or middle tees, shot form fitting
rs. one better than women's par,
and only five strokes over mems par.
That's the best score I ever have
heard about on this course made by
woman" said Al Jamison, Indian
Spring pro. The course has been
played in IS by Marion Brown from
the white tees, but never before in
rs from the red tees"
Mrs. Meckley played the mines
in 81 and 80. Here is her card:
Out 545 444 533-37
In -544 ABS 535-39-76

Virgil, will leave town Friday for
his ne post at Honesdale, Pa,
where he will spend the summer as
the private pro of Byron S. Miller.
He won't be back in Washington ex-
cept for an occasional visit, nor will
he go to Indian Creek, Miami Beach,
with Bob Barnett next winter. In
stead the Worsham boy, who hap
pens to be a good golfer. will play
the winter tournament circuit.
