When Lance copped the title in 1973 many observers felt it was a fluke, but he backed up his first crown by winn- ing in a romp last year. Don Stein will defend his “B' crown and could be in the championship flight when the golfers tee it up Saturday morning with the 16 low players making the “A” flight. Jim Balmer is the defending *‘C'’ winner, while Dave Hughes Sr. is the man to beat for ‘‘D"’ laurels. Meanwhile, Lance's stiffest competition will again‘come from the likes of R.J. Bachman, Tom Gauntlett, Jr., Bill New- man, Rollie Schmidt, R.F. Bachman,. Jim: Alexander, Ed Rome and ‘Roberto’ Kopp. Former winners in the group are Kopp, Sch- midt, and both Bachmans. Newman has™ been the runner-up on several occa- sions. Hungerford told us last week that he’s hitting the ball better now than he ever has. This could mean trouble.

CLIPBOARD NOTES: Irem Golf Association Cup hasn't been settled yet, but Rich Disque, Jr. and his partner Charlie Prece have advanced to the finals. Lloyd Werneka and Bob Norman have to play Andre Billinge and Gordon Vivian for the right to play Prece and Disque for the Cup. All of the six are play- ing below their handicaps which should make for a good final. While ‘we didn’t see the ball go in the cup Sunday afternoon when Past Potentate Tom Reese scored his hole-in-one. on the 17th hole, we did enjoy his little dance. We were confronted with a bunker shot on the 16th, when Ed Rome called out that the ball was going down the side of the green . and looked close. Rome kept calling for the ball to go in. Which it did. Rome was my playing partner but he wasn't too concerned with our bunker shot??? Reese hit a nine iron on the par 3 hole which plays to about 135 yards from the bottom tee. Rounding out the foursome were Andre Billinge, Jim Brace and Mike Nardone. Our congratulations to the ‘‘Moose’ on his Ace. We're wondering when he’s going to take care of the golfers who waited for the customary refresh- ments??? Many weird things have happened on the golf course, but we were part of two dandies recently that are worth repeating. First we were playing in a “better ball” match ap- proaching the par five 13th hole. We hit a good second shot. Our playing partner hit a good second shot, too. I thought I was away and punched a wedge three feet from the pin. You guessed it. Wrong ball---out of the hole. Meanwhile, our opponent came out of the woods and was on the green in four with a stroke. He pro- ceeded to knock his putt two feet from the cup. My partner then three-putted. Our opponent stroked his putt by the cup and had a. tough putt coming back for the tie. As he stroked the ball his putter blade hit the 1975 DODGE DART 1 door Sedan, 6 Cylinder, ‘Radio, Heater, Auto- matic, Power Steering, $3395. ball twice. Two more shots and we won the hole??? The other weirdo came on the 18th tee. We stood there waiting for one of the longest hitters in Wyoming Valley to crunch his tee shot. He gave a couple of pumping motions, looked down the fairway, took the club back and -- zap! He swung so hard that his club head wnet under the ball and popped it about 20-feet straight up. The ball came down and bounced about a loot behind the tee. It's the shortest drive we've ever seen that didn't hit a tree or something. Big Bob Bachman, who had his problems winning matches lately, rapped in a 12-foot putt on the par five 13th last week for an eagle three. Bob is always good for three or four eagles a season.
