Prince Georges Team
Choice in CIoverIeaf
Golf Tournament
By MerreIl WhittIesey

Columbia Country CLUB Will be
host to considerable golfing talent
sunday In the second annual Clover
leaf Invitation Tournament, the
event that brings together the pro,
club champion, senior titlist and
women's champion from each mem
her club OF the District Golf Associa-
ton, with the winner decided on
combined scores.
There will be two changes in the
lineup Of the defending champion
Kenwood team, Charles Price for
Bill Wenzel and Mrs. Richard
Kreuzburg for Mrs. Betty Meckley
AZ mems and women's club champs,
respectively, but the 1946 winners
will be equally as strong with the
change in club champions in there.
Several Of the foursomes will be
stronger this year and Kenwood's
winning 301 score of last year may
not stand up. 1t was made up of
72s by Pro George Diffenbaugh and
Nick Hollander, the senior titlist, a
"a by Wenzel and SO by Mrs. Meek
ley. Two or three teams may have
a substitute in one position, includ-
ing Manor due to Mrs. w. r, Stokes
absence from the city, and Indian
Spring, because Eddie Ault will be
competing in a conflicting tourna-
ment
Bogart With Chevy Chase.
District, Maryland and Middle
Atlantic Amateur Champion Bobby
Brownell, who also rules as club
titlist at Manor and Chevy Chase,
decided to cast his lot with Manor,
his first home club. Ralph Bogart
stepped into Brownell's place with
the Chevy Chase team.
In this novel tournament the
senior golfer looms as the key to
the winning team. Most of the pros
are fairly well matched, only two
or three club champions stand out
and majority Of the women will
be within a few strokes range. But
some of the clubs have golfers in the
so and up age class who are par
shooting threats, including Hol-
lander, Elliott Spioer OF Indian
Spring, John r. Miller Of Manor
and Jess Baggett of Prince Georges.
When Chris Heurich. jr., Colum-
bias Golf Committee chairman, an
nounced the team lists, several on
lockers selected the Prince Georges
team as one with excellent balance
and very possible winner, With
Al Houghton, George Voigt, Bag
gett and Mrs. Marie Walper there
is not weak spot on the team.
