Baltimore (McNally 8-7) at When a club golf tournament is held it is usually for the enjoyment of the members. Excellent golf is not one of the trademarks. This was not the case at the Willow Brook Men's Club Championship which just finished.

Excellent play was one of the trademarks. Close matches highlighted the entire tournament, with the heartstoppers coming in the championship flight. The other five flights are not to be slighted. Although the cores were not as low, the competition was just as fierce. In the first day of action, defending champ Mark Triggs found the going tough against his match play opponent Glyn Killingsworth.

The match was all tied up going into the 17th hole. Triggs pulled ahead and ended the match, winning 2 and 1. Chad Hanna who head pro Ralph Morgan terms as a "steady" player won his contest over Jerry Parker. Hanna is consistently in the 70's, which is a surprisingly good average for a part time golfer. "Chad is a real consistent player, always in there until the final hole.

He doesn't make too many mistakes," Morgan said. A major upset in the first round of play was pulled off by Cliff Hughes as he defeated many times champ A. J. Triggs 2 and 1. The defeat came as a surprise to many participants, who thought the final round of play might end in a father and ion battle between Mark and A.

J. Triggs. Probably the closest match of the first round pitted Evans Swann against Dick Mallard in the first flight. At the end of the regulation 18 holes the contest was deadlocked. The match was forced into a sudden death playoff, in which the first player to win a hole is the game winner.

Morgan felt the first day of competition was a success, with superb golf being played in all the flights. "There were ome surprise players making real good showings put there and some favorites having a hard time," he said. The second day of the tournament got off to an eventful start when Oklahoma University golfer Don Robert Johnson was matched against Mark Triggs in the championship flight.

Johnson anUTriggs were teammates two years ago on Robert E. Lee golf squad. Triggs played his usual brand of good golf, but Johnson was unbeatable. He accounted for an eagle and three birdies in only 15 boles of play. When questioned about Johnson's play Morgan commented, "Don Robert was real strong off the tee, but his putter was extremely hot." "Both players shot beautiful golf, but it would have been hard for anyone to beat Johnson in the second round," he added.

Johnson won the match over Triggs 4 and 3. He was 4-under-par with three holes to go when the contest was halted. A close battle was played between Cliff Hughes and Fred Babb, with Hughes coming out on top after, -two. playoff holes 1 up. 1 An excellent brand of golf was played at the club tourna-fhent, but the main objective was to provide competition and enjoyment for its members.

Along with the championship tournament a losers event was also featured. The losers in all the flights played an 18-hole medal contest, with the low score winning half a dozen golf balls. Morgan felt there should be something for the players who were not fortunate enough to be in the finals. The prizes of the golf balls was designed to increase competition among the members of the country club.
