WHAT’S
HAPPENING!!
TOURNAMENT FUN....
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the
plain, a popular line that emerged among
the many songs of the hit musical, “My Fair
Lady. The rain in Charlotte falls mainly on
the golf courses, a popular line that
emerged among the thoughts of many
golfers last Saturday afternoon. One of the
courses where the April showers caused
some uneasiness and some drenched golfers
was the Revolution Golf Course on Bar
ringer Drive.
The members of the Athletic Department
of Walls Memorial AME Zion Church Were
experiencing the success of their fourth
annual invitational golf tournament at that
— time. A tournament that fielded nine adults
and two junior teams in an 18 holes
captain s choice.
For the benefit of
non-golfers, a cap
tain’s choice game
pits the skills of each
effort against the golf
.^course. It is the cap:,
tain of the team’s '
decision to determine
which ball to play
aftpr each shot is—
made. Each player -
hits his next ball from
that spot, and so on
BOBJOHNSON
until the playing of the hole is completed.
Theoretically, the teams consist of players
with different levels of ability, which adds
to the competitive fun.
The teams for last Saturday’s tourna
ment included four players. Each deter
mined to do his share to win one of the gold
statues waiting back at the clubhouse for
the members of the four teams carding the
lowest 18-hole score.
The team of Bobby Ellis, Ed MitcheU,
Raymond Mason, and Louis “Gray Beard”
Rorie won the tournament with a 14 under
par score of 58. Second place was undis
putedly won by the team of Alvin Grier,
James Bouler, Arthur Moore and John
Staley with a 12 underpar 607 ‘
The team of Donald Littlejohn, Johnny
Williams, “Big” Carl Love and Dave Taylor
Sr., with a late starting time, had a
mathematical chance to catch the winners
after a nine-hole score of 30. However, rain
interrupted their second round after they
birdied the first two holes. When play
resumed after about 45 minutes, the con
ditions of the course possibly kept this team
from continuing their birdie roll. The 31
they eventually shot put them in a three
way tie for third place.
The stage was set for a three team
playoff. But, due to the lateness of the hour
and the condition of the weather, the results
had to be played off on the score card. This
means that the teams with the lowest
hole-by-hole score on holes already played
would capture third and fourth places.
The team of Donald Littlejohn, Johnny
Williams, Carl Love and Dave Taylor Sr.,
locked in on third place because they
birdied the first hole.
Robert “Git” Brown, Tom Fraylon,
Raymon Fewell and Robert Chisholm were
the members of the team that took fourth
place because they birdied the par 3 number
two hole.
Lee Hood, Joseph Hill, John Lathan and
Brice Ardrey also shot a score of 61.
Unfortunately though, their first birdie
didn’t come until the third hole.
The other teams included Herman Fant,
Thomas Springs, Rev. Lloyd Morris and
Erwin Springs Jr. with a team score of 62.
Simon Hooper, Bill Adams, Bob Johnson
and Haze Moore with a score of 64. Don
Beamer, Doug Beamer, A1 Houston and Joe
Wilson with a score of 65. The rain
cancelled the final few holes for Peter
Thomas, Charles Camp, Jennings Brewer
and Marshall Little.
The Junior Division of the tournament
was won by the team of Adrian Roseboro,
Danny Evans, Gene Lawrence and David
Taylor Jr. with an 18-hole score of 70.
The Fourth Walls Memorial Invitational
Golf Tournament wouldn’t have been as
successful as it was had it not been for the
efforts of some key people - William Givens,
director of athletics; Haze Moore, tourna
ment coordinator; Sandra Williams, Annie
Bellinger and Dorothy Moore, tournament
managers.
