Burning Tree, which previously
ran its club championship tourna-
ment on an invitation basis. with
the club president requesting the
presence of a select 16 club members
to compete for the Presidents Cup
has modernized its title play this
year.
The Golf Committee and Pro Max
Elbin changed the order OF play and
seven flights in all qualified for
match play, the first time the tour
nament has been. played on this
basis at the exclusive River Road
Club.
Despite the limited membership
at Burning Tree, the caliber Of golf
has been equal to any club title
tournament in town. Although the
club membership predominantly is
the senior class golfer, the sun
hardened fairways are giving up
lot of roll and the men who depend
on a lot of roll for distance are
getting it.
Col. Tom Belshe and John Mcclure
tied for the medal with Lover
par 73s. Mcclure has won his way
to the final after l up semifinal
victory over Roger Whiteford, last
years Middle Atlantic senior cham
pion.
The other final-round berth will
be filed by either Col. Belshe, a
former Federal golf champion, or
Ned Burnham. Both Belshe and
Burnham are playing their best
golf at this time, and last Sunday
before learning what the other
scored-doubtless wished that the
match was being played that day.
In a round with Chevy Chase Pro
Bob Barnett, Belshe reported II,
only to learn that Burnham had
played the front nine in two-,lnder-
par "a. Burnham recently had q
38-31-69, and in the Middle At
lantic Senior tournament was out
in par Sc, but faltered on the back
nine.
Meanwhile, play has advanced to
semifinals and final rounds in other
flights and Elbin reports the "ex-
pertinent" is a success and probably
will be followed in future years.
