Witty Cox App|auded
As Congressional
Golf Hits Boom

It has been at least seven years
since Congressional Country Clut
was host to the golf professionals
and most OF the Middle Atlantic
PGA members couldn't believe their
ewes when they turned out for the
all-Congressional member pro-ama-
teur tournament yesterday.
In fact, there was a little added
touch to the post-tournament meet
ing when the pros rose and gave
Witty Cox a solid round of applause
Just because they appreciate the
great job he has done in bringing
boom days to Congressional.
The pros were unanimous in ap-
proVal of the physical changes In
the course and Cox and Green's
keeper Scotty Walker received
countless compliments on the splen-
did condition Of the layout. The
pros must have known the remarks
would get back to their home clubs
but they still said there's not a
course in this section in better con-
dition.
Snowfall on the Roll.
Congressional is making up for
lost time in tournament activity
too. After last weeks member
guest tournament, one Of the most
popular invitation events held here
in years, II members turned out
for yesterdays event and the pros
played for a purse Of s700, plus be-
ing guests Of the members for the
entire day.
Thirty-five pros showed up on a
Tuesday, a day not usually reserved
for tournaments, and now plans are
underway for another event in the
fall when the club wants at least
so pros and promises 100 members.
1t was an involved tournament
but the big winner was Jack Isaacs,
the slow-swinger from Langley Field
who waltzed around in 68 strokes,
three under par, to win the pro
sweepstakes and with his partner,
DR.. B. F. Dean, posted a 64 to tie
in the pro and one partner event
with Charles Betschler, Hillendale
pro, and F. E. johnson. Betschler
had II.
