John L. Barr Jr. '39 achieved golfdom's greatest thrill yesterday afternoon when he scored a hole-in-one on the 210-yard 12th hole at the Belmont Country Club. He used a number four wood in accomplishing the feat.
Asked to comment on his ace, Barr said, "It was a high shot which I thought would bring the rain, but it just hit and plopped in. I thought it was pretty funny." He admitted he would like to join the hole-in-one golfer's club.
Playing with Barr were Lewis A. McGowan Jr., '38, Henry S. Thompson '39, and Robert B. Graves '40. All are members of this year's golf squad. Barr's score for the 18 holes was 85.
