Scores of 9-10-11 under par highlighted play in the net division of a One-Day Four-Ball Playday, sponsored and conducted by the Maryland State Golf Association at Norbeck Country Club, July 9.
Cho YG Yi and Chan Hee Chung, Needwood GC, combined to shoot 80-19-61 to place first in the Women’s division, edging Oksun Kim, Turf Valley CC, and Soon Nam Lee, Waverly Woods GC, who returned 75-13-62. Although Yi did most of the work for the winning side, Chung helped with a bogey at the 15th, where she got two shots, and the resulting birdie kept the round going. Earlier, Yi did not give her partner much of an opportunity to contribute, as she had eight net birdies on the front nine for 28. On the back, she had five net birdies, two bogeys for 33. The course was played at 5,452 yards.
The men were divided into A and B divisions, by yardage. John Newman-Rob Clark, from the U.S. Naval Academy GC wrapped up the B group with 70-8-62. Al Aldana-Alan Dorow, from RedGate GC, led the A flight with 69-6-63. The A men played at 6,613 yards and the B men and Mixed men played at 6,206 yards.
In the Mixed division, Sally Jo Lupkin and David Asaki, Montgomery CC, the next-to-last group to finish, vaulted to the top with 74-11-63.
There were three gross rounds in the 60’s and two of them produced division leaders. Lisa Schlesinger, Norbeck CC, and Andrea Kraus, Hayfields CC, took the Women’s prize with 35-34–69, and the Naval Academy GC’s Mike Cumberpatch-Barry Andrews led the men’s B players with 35-34–69. The A net leaders Aldana-Dorow also had 69.
The other gross leaders were Buddy Goeltz, Worthington Manor GC-Eric Howell, Argyle CC, 36-37–73, and the husband/wife team of Carol (Davies) and Steve Lillie, Argyle CC, 36-38–74.
This was the fourth of six scheduled Play Days and drew 44 teams. The remaining sessions will be Aug. 4 at the CC at Woodmore, and Oct. 16 at the Suburban Club.
