house burned in 1929 and a

the members had used an old
shed as an impromptu clubhouse
for two years.
The club was not prospecting
in the late 1905. AL Houghton
succeeded Cliff Spencer as pro
in 1910 and he hired as one of
his assistants S. Walter Bog
ley. jr., his second cousin, who
was taking a fling at pro golf.
Meanwhile Houghton was try

Bogley had been associated
with Cliff and the late Lew Eisele

and he persuaded the Eisele
brothers to invest with him in
purchasing the club. They COM
pleted the deal the day before
Pearl Harbor. There were about
IS members at the time. Bog
ley stepped from assistant pro to
co-owner.
The new owners quickly
changed the name from Beaver
Dam to Prince Georges. There
have been many changes since
they took over. The third nine

development, a swimming pool
was built, and there have been
renovations in the club and i'm

The Imperial household said
no negligence was involved, that
perhaps summer rains and damp
weather were responsible.

now doing the job all over again

ment said.
