with golf in the District knows
Gil Willett is one of the top
amateurs in town. He's usually
in demand for the Mason Dixon
and D. C.-Virginia team matches,
but the captains hesitate to Sc
lect him because he seldom plays
in tournaments and some Of the
regulars ask how come?
But Big Gil will be eligible for
at least a year because he's
champion at Prince Georges,
one of the toughest club titles
in town to win.
Willett won the title for the
third time yesterday, defeating
Roger Sheriff, former southpaw
and now a Grassland player, 4
and 3, in the scheduled 36-hole
final. Willett was runnerup in
1850, winner in 1852, and again
in '53. when it was a medal play
event.
Play was from the extreme
back tees over a wet course and
a five-oyer-par effort was good
enough, as Sheriff played his
poorest golf of the week. Willett
had won his way to the semi
finals with a 1-up triumph over
John Jankowski, while Sheriff
beat Keith Bowie, 2 and /.
