the Mid-Atlantic PGA pro-junior
at Kenwood were:
Pros Andy Gibson of the
Country Club of Maryland lin
Baltimore and Teddy Nc
Candlish of Argyle, who shot g.
under-par Cts;
Or Mary Ann Musser, l7-year-
old daughter of the All View pro,
who shot a IA to beat 81 of the
l0l juniors entered, a great ma
iority of them boys, and tie two
others;
Or the 14-year-old Arnie
Prada, jr., of Argyle and Charles
Baker, l4-year-old son of the
Army Chemical Center pro, who
helped their pro partners tie for
first in the best-ball play with
I61S.
Good Day for McCandlish
No matter who you favor, it
was a great day for the pros
scoring averages and the juniors
who wanted to lower their ham
dicaps. KenWood, which has a
tough par of 70, was host to a
Pro-Am April % and on cold,
wet day the low score was
Clarence Doser's 70. Yesterday
Is of the same pros were under
70 as the ground was baked and
the greens still good for ap-
preaching and putting.
Gibson, with his third sub-par
round in his last four outings,
could be a threat in the Mary
land Open next week. McCand-
lish, the young assistant pro
who spent about two months in
Florida last winter working on
his game, had his lowest COM
petitive score.
1t was a good day for Nc
Candlish. the handsome young
Scotsman. The round will do
lot for his confidence. as it
helped prove the hundreds of
hours spent on his game have
changed him from an 80 shooter
at Washington and Army-Navy
to a fellow who can shoot 81.
Gives Boys Incentive
And in one of her last APP
pearances as junior, it was a
brilliant round for Miss MuSser,
who lost to 10 Anne Bachelor
of Argyle last week in a playoff
for the Maryland junior girls
title. Miss Bachelor had 81
yesterday, while scores of the
other top junior girls in the Dis
trict included Barbara Diggs' IS
and Barbara Berry's 88.
Miss Musser posted her "a
early in the day, and word
spread among some of the cocky
young junior golfers. Their bud
dies made trips out on the course
to spur them on to have a good
round or get beat by a girl"
Paul Quinn, 15-year-old Balti-
more City College golfer, came
in with 70 and later Jack Doser
of Woodmont birdied the last two
holes for a 10. They beat Mary
Ann.
But John Grub, the District
junior titlist. and Bob Lerner
of Woodmont only tied her with
74s and Keith Bowie, the new
Maryland junior champion. had
