Thompson-Smeraglio team comes up a shot short



   Overbrook Golf Club senior standout Ray Thompson and partner Glenn Smeraglio of Mercer Oaks Golf Club were a formidable team at Thursday’s Golf Association of Philadelphia Senior Four-Ball Stroke Play championship at North Hills Country Club, but they came up a shot out of a three-way tie for first.
   The Lehigh Country Club pair of Thomas Soares and Bob Beck captured the gross title in a match of cards with two other teams to capture the title after the three teams each posted a 4-under 67 over the 6,248-yard, par-71 North Hills layout. The back-nine score for Soares and Beck was the tiebreaker.
   The two teams that also had 67 were also involved in a match-of-cards situation at last year’s Senior Four-Ball Stroke Play. They were the Bellewood Country Club pair of Marty Dorminy and James Prendergast and the Chester Valley duo of Kenneth Silverwood and Ed Chylinski.
   Thomson and Smeraglio carded a 3-under 68 to finish in a tie for fourth with the Makefield Heights Golf Club pair of Scott McIntosh and Richard Young.
   Among the four teams tied for sixth at 2-under 69 were the Merion Golf Club tandem of Arthur Kania Jr. and Kirk Luntey and the Edgmont Country Club pair of Dan Lamb and Tim Ungrady.
   Among the five teams tied for 10th at 1-under 70 was the Whitemarsh Valley Country Club pair of Richard Atcavage and former NBA referee Steve Javie. Edgmont’s Michael Quinn teamed with Bob Majczan of Lookaway Golf Club for an even-par 71 and Robert Billings of Rolling Green Golf Club and Pete Dilullo of Applebrook Golf Club posted a 1-over 72.
   White Manor Country Club’s Don Donatoni, GAP’s dominant super-senior, teamed up with Merion’s Carl Everett to capture top honors in the super-senior division with a 5-under 66.
   The Springhaven Club’s Curt Fromal teamed with Downingtown Country Club’s Norman Jester to finish in a tie for ninth at 1-over 72.
