Argyle WD6A Team
Champions Produce
District Title Threat
By MerreII WhittIesey

BY MeFreIl WhIttlesey
Argyle not only climaxed its
comeback by taking the Women's
District Golf Associations first
team title from Chevy Chase yes
terday, but in so doing produced
a player who might have some
thing to say about who wins the
District women's championship
at Chevy Chase starting June 81.
That's Capt. Lucille Busch,
USAF. tail. slender blond who's
been a member of Argyle for sew
eral years, and who plans to be
here at least through July, 1855
Capt. Busch contributed heavily
to Argyle's easy victory yesterday
by playing Manor Country Club
in 70 StrokeS-all puts holed-
including penalty stroke on the
par 3 fifth hole. 1t was the low
est round of her career by four
strokes, her previous best a n at
Argyle.
The round cannot be verified
as women'S course record be-
cause it was made in match play
competition, but it is at least an
unofficial competitive mark.
Sad Ending for Chevy Chase.
1t was a sad ending to the
team series for Chevy Chase,
which led all the way until it
played Argyle last week. The
Layhill team won. 81a-12, to take
a half-point lead, and yesterday
blanked Columbia, 90, while
Chevy Chase lost to Prince
Georges. 6-3. Argyle won by
71a points.
The second and third team
titles were settled yesterday with
Army Navy losing in both play
offs. Washington G8SCC won
the second team title, 51a-312, at
Kenwood, and Woodmont the
third team title. 6-3, at Army
Navy.
Washington, which won a
playof over Quantico last week
for the right to gain the title
round, was led by Mrs. G. w.
Calvert with a 70. Woodmont
won, although its top player.
Mrs. Sam Feldman, had to leave
the course on the 18th hole to
report in time for jury duty.
Mrs. Feldman and Mrs. Alvin
Brown lost 21a of 3 points
Woodmont gave up in the title
round.
Next Tuesday the winning
team will be host to field days,
with the exception of Washing
ton, where the mems invitation
tournament conflicts. Argyle
will be host to the first teams
and Woodmont third, with the
second team site to be an
nounced.
Needed Best Lineup.
After Argyle defeated Ken
woods defending champions,
81a-Aa, in the second match of
the 11-week series, many of
the players thought Argyle would
win if it could present its best
lineup each week. But three of
the Argyle girls work and the
team hung from five to eight
points back of Chevy Chase un-
til the last two matches. when
the winners fielded their top
team.
Argyle won yesterday with
Betty CARRIER, Capt. Busch, Mrs.
Frank Cush. Georgia Mae Nc
Keever. Dorothy Omolecki and
Mrs. Allan Sherier competing.
Mrs. Richard Foley, Mrs. Will
son Howard and Mrs. Howard
Woster had played in some of
the previous matches.
Capt. Busch'S round included
a penalty stroke on the fifth
where she hit her only bad shot
of the day, an iron into the ditch.
She salvaged a 1-over-par 4 on
the hole by dropping a 10-footer.
She three-putted the 18th hole.
Capt. Busch had mems brides on
the third and fourth holes.
A protege of Charley Easton,
the teaching pro at Congression-
al, Capt. Busch has lowered her
handicap from Is to S in less
than two years.
In other first team matches
yesterday, Army Navy upset
Kenwood, 6-3; Washington de-
feated Belle Haven, 6-3, and
Woodmont and Congressional
tied. AZ each.
