The Al teams that showed UP
at the Washington Golf and
Country Club yesterday proved
one thing to the Middle At
lantic Golf Observation-Disclosures
son tournaments are popular.
And besides proving some
thing, it also Gained some fears
that a scratch best-ball event
would not draw enough entries
to pay for the prizes.
I'VE we're apprehensive
about this tournament" Tim
Cragg Of Rolling Road, the
association president, said after
Ira and Phil Hargis Of West
wood accepted the twin cham
pionship bowls following their
33-3l-64 round.
''But we've had nothing but
compliments" Cragg said.
Most Of the players seem to
like playing best ball instead Of
scotch" The Maryland Golf
Associations Patterson is q |
selective drive-alternate shot
tournament.
Everything we do from now
on" Vice President Ralph Boz
CART of Chevy Chase, said, lis
going to be different. We made
this one best ball to be differ
ent from the Maryland State
Patterson"
Three New Clubs
Besides being different, 1t
also was rewarding to the
Middle Atlantic organization. 1t
brought three new clubs into the
northumberland, West
wood and Halifax Country Club
Of South Boston, Va.
zone Of the reasons we held
it in Virginia." Bogart said,
was to attract some Virginia
clubs into the association"
Even the entry blank was de-
signed with this in mind. He
explained that any member club
Of the Maryland, District or
Virginia Golf Associations was
eligible to become q member
Of the Middle Atlantic with the
payment Of $50 dues. And only
members Of Middle Atlantic
member clubs were eligible for
the tournament.
Halifax joined, but the one
team that wanted to play wasn't
eligible. Jim Butler, the club
pro. entered, but after playing
a practice round Monday, he
was advised that the tourna-
ment was for amateurs only.
He graciously withdrew and his
entry fee was returned.
iBOrsaris Second
The Hargises won by q
strokes over George and Tom
my Borsari Of Kenwood, who
shot 35-31-66. Henry and
James O'Meara of Goose
Greek finished third with "a
1857, while three teams tied
at 68. They were George v. and
George v. Graham, jr., Of
Westwood with 34-34-68, Julian
and Bob Murphy of Argyle
with $3.50, and Gen.
Jamie and Jamie Cough, jr.,
Of Army Navy with 33-35-6S.
The 2-stroke winning margin
can be traced to one seven iron
shot that Phil Hargis hit on
the 18th hole, 396-yard par
4. 1t went into the hole for an
eagle 2.
Phil had one more eagle.
He sank q 20-foot putt after
reaching the par-five 18th, a.
narrow, dog-legged 422-yarder,
In 2. Phil also holed q 15-foot
birdie putt on the sixth, q par
4 of 357 yards.
This was the first Patterson
tournament the Middle Atlantic
ever staged and officials admit
they were afraid 1t would draw
only 20 or so teams. But with
the 47-team turnout they ex-
pressed no doubt that it will
be held again.
