Gavin Shocks
Pros, Ready
For Worshanl
BY ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer


With the Bubby Worsham
Memorial golf tourn a m e mt
opening today at his home
course -Bethesda-John Gavin
couldn't be more ready.
He won the qualifying medal
in his club championship Sun
day and yesterday he gave the
Middle Atlantic pros the hee-
haw with a 4-under-par So at
the Quantico Marine Corps
School course.
Gavin and Sergt. A. E. Hard
lister, a non-commissioned Of
ficers in charge Of the course,
both finished 2 strokes ahead
of the best pro efforts, a pair Of
70s by Charley Muck of Belle
Haven and Clarence Doser Of
Washingtonian. And even they
had an amateur alongside them.
Roger Olson, an 18-year-old
graduate of Annandale High
School, also shot 10 over the
6,521 yard, par-36-36-72
course.
According to the best infor-
nation available, this is the
first time an amateur has led
one of these events since Har-
old Ridgley, an Air Force ser
geant who once went to the
final of the British Amateur,
won twice in 1861.
Gavin, who is Is and a sopho-
more at Georgia Tech, is one
of 1870 boys who are at Bethesda
today for the qualifying round
of the Worsham. His score yes
terday ranks as his best of the
season, but he would like tc
have another one just like II
to help atone for losing in the
first round of the District Anna
teur last month at Woodmont
1861 SchOOlbOy Champ
This could be his best season
since 1861, when he won the
Schoolboy championship anc
followed up with the Bethesda
club championship. He didn't
play in the club championship
last season and lost his School
boy title to Ricky Meissner Of
Manor, who is the defending
champion in the Worsham.
Gavin had five brides yes
terday and one DOGGY as he
toured the dried-out Quanticc
course, which most pros said
was playing more easily than II
ever has, in 34-34, hitting II
greens and using only 81 puts
He was flying his irons deac
to the stick on most holes anc
three OF his birdie puts wert
from inside four feet. He made
one Of four feet in the first
another of two feet on the sixth
and an 18-inch putt on the
18th. His longest putt was 6
15-footer at the second. His
only DOGGY came at the ninth
when he missed the green anc
took 3 to get down.
For Hardister, it was the ca
reer round. He plays the course
almost every day, but the best
he'd ever done before was 10
Yesterday he birdied three holes
on the front nine and made the
turn in 80. He picked up one
more birdie on the back and
came in with IS for his SO. He
didn't have DOGGY on his card
