Straight Off the Tee

win any big tournaments, but he
gets a great kick out OF the game.
Maybe Tom Belshe could tell him
how to avoid those bad holes. He
plays with Tom quite a good deal.
But Tom just laughs.
Peacock Scores.
Back in the winning groove again
after lapse of year or so Roger
Peacock, the mid-Atlantic champ,
Is burning up the courses almost
every time he starts a round of
golf. Roger finished with 3-under-
par SO yesterday at Argyle, and
was nosed out of the top amateur
prize. But his best recent round
came the other day at Indian
Spring, where he scored a 6S, which
also happens to be three under per-
feet figures, If any such exist.
Starting on the 10th, he birdied
that hole, and then sank 7-iron
shot for an eagle deuce on the par
4 l1th, finishing the back nine with
3-under-par 33. Then he played
the first nine in level par IS for
his SO. That's plenty of golf.
Rogers SO at Argyle yesterday
won him only second prize in the
amateur sweepstakes in the tourney
staged by the Maryland State Golf
Association. Husky Nate kaufman,
250-odd pounds of good golfng
youth, cracked out a 4-under-par
68 to grab most of the marbles. 1t
was the first time Nate ever had
shattered 10, and he was a happy
boy. for in addition to leading the
amateurs with his 68-6-62, he also
copped first prize in the amateur
pro affair, paired with Ralph Beach
OF the Baltimore Suburban Club
where Nate plays his golf. Between
them they amassed better ball
OF 81 whacks, II under par, which
sets a new record for scoring in
these tournaments.
Houghton Sets Record.
Record breaking came in punches
at Argyle, where fast fairways anc
Well-Watered putting green's helped
the scoring. AL Houghton, who
still rates as one of the top pro,
IN this area, set new Official rec.

course with a score of 66, six under
par. AL played the mines in 80 anc
