Play Superb Golf
There was no other golf TO
compare with their superb shot
making and teaming. The
closest to IL was Brownell and
Bogart's four-under-par golf in
the morning in a Cup victory
over the medalists, Gil Willett
and Mike Jankowski. The losers
we're three under in defeat.
Wynsol Spencer. who last
week won the Peninsula ANA
teur title in Virginia by a Z
stroke margin. and Jack Kurtz
of Jupiter, Fla. advanced as
seminal opponents for Clark
and MARITIME today.
In the other bracket. 1t will
be the Hampton (Va0 team Of
Ashley Briggs and Bert Brown
against Frank Mailley, the ex-
Washington Lions hockey play
er from Court House, and Bill
Brownrigg from Goose Creek.
Clark. a big hitter who often
is a par smasher when he ties
his short game In with his long
driving. and MARITIME played
one over threes from the 9th
through the 18th in giving
Brownell and Bogart a dose OF
what the Chevy Chase golfers
have given many others.
