Speaking Of Golf By JOB MAPLES The long hitter from Fort Jackson, South Carolina made the trip up (or our pro-am and went home with the big prize. Tony Evans, who kncoks the ball a mile, led his team to vic tory in the Fifth Annual Blue Ridge Pro- Am last Wednesday and Thursday over the Boone course. One hundred and eighty players from the Caro linas Section of the PGA made this the most successful event in the series held to date. Much credit must go to the Boone Ladies Golf Association for the wonderful way in which they managed the tournament. They handled registration of the players at the first tee, ran an excellent score board and ran a profitable hole in one contest on the eighth hole. I would like to mention all the ladies who helped out but might leave some out so will suffice to say, thanks to all for a job well done! As qualifying for the Boone Golf Club Championship enters the final week, young Sam Adam* is leading tile way with rounds of 88-71-H1, one under par for the thirty-six hole*. He is followed by brother, Austin, with 71-78?144 and Ernest Hayes with 75-74 ? 149. About the only person left with a chance to take medal honor* from Sam i* defending champ ion John Broyhyi who i* ex pected to qualify this week. There is still time for play ers to qualify who would like to play in this event. Qualifying ends this coming Sunday night with first round matches get ting under way Monday with seven days to play each match. Leading the qualifier* in the ladies division with 8S-90? 181 is Gertrude Perry followed by Dolly Matheson at 203. How ever, Julie Barber should take medal honor* in this division since she has posted a first round score of 83. We need a couple more ladies to make two flights of eight so any of you that would like to play, start your qualifying right away. Time is running short.
