Rough season hits Hungerstown golf pros and near miss at Maryland Open
The Hungerstown area sees pro Dick Mullen sidelined by a back injury from a power cart incident at York Country Club. Beaver Creek’s Ronnie Stansbury was struck by a practice-ball line drive at the Suburban Club in Baltimore, knocked unconscious briefly, but released with no serious injury and finished his round with an 82. He resumes play under officials’ permission, though he fails to reach the finals. The incident prompts a Junior Golf Clinic at Beaver Creek and a note apologizing for a page layout mix-up with Mullen’s column.
