T H IS IS N O T AN ILL-FITTING COULOTTE “Talked with Bob Blake, the manager of the course,” writes Moss. “His comments were the tournament as a w hole was very good. There was one criticism — the slow play of our better players. Blake mentioned a foursome that took 12 minutes to make their approach shots and putt out on 18 green. This you must agree is excessive. One member of the foursome on 17th green marked his ball when he had about a 6-inch putt. H e would have stood in no one’s line s by putting out. “This slow play has another effect in that many of our younger players or less accom ­ plished ones w ill tend to copy the manner­ isms and actions of the better players which only perpetuates the thing. Another thing I would like to throw in for what it is worth is that the touring pros, while they take considerable time on the green, they really walk to their ball in a hurry, something our • school • sports • travel • office • home players do not do. “Mr. Blake also m entioned that our leadoff group of “B” and “A” players went around the course in 4 hours and 15 min­ utes whereas the championship p l a y e r s slowed it down to 5 hours and more.” PGA Seniors to Try for 15 Gs D U N E D IN , Fla.— The PGA Seniors Championship will be a $15,000 Tournament in 1960.

Men’s par on the East Course of the Glen­ doveer Golf Course, 6368 yards, is 37-37—74. While ladies par is 39-40—79. Men’s par on the 6325-yard Tualatin Country Club Course is 35-36-71. Hosting the championships was the Leis­ ure Hour Golf Club. Elizabeth Fucuals, of Fairway Golf Club then and now of Vernoncrest Golf Club, lit­ erally walked away with the women’s crown with net rounds of 75-83-79—237. Los Angeles Postal Golf Club retained the men’s team play championship when its foursome of “Spanky” Wilson, Steve and Al Swain and Al McDaniel had a combined total of 622. Nearest total to the L .A . Postal score was that of Bay Area Golf Club at 639. Cosmopolitan and Leisure Hour Golf Clubs followed in that order. Breaking the domination of the Vernon­ crest Golf Club team, the new Aberdeen Golf Club foursome of Ferne Pemberton, Joyce Robinson, Mercedes Sanford and Gwen McDaniel with an 831 total easily won the women’s team title. Vernoncrest and Leisure Hour followed. Men’s medalist was Al Swain of L . A . Postal, dropping a birdie chip shot on 18 at Glendoveer in the dusk for a one-under par 73.

Rules of Golf to be Reviewed NEW YORK—Although there will be no changes in the Rules of Golf for 1959, the code will be reviewed and possibly revised in meetings next May between represent­ atives of the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland. The meetings will be held at the time of the W alker Cup Match in Scotland, as has become customary in late years. The two organizations continuously ex­ change views on the Rules and recently the USGA has drafted proposals for refinements. The subjects cover a wide range, including such matters as balls lost, out of bounds, un­ playable and in water hazards. No details of proposals will be published until after the meetings next May. The following special committee has been appointed by John D. Ames, USGA Presi­ dent, to represent the Association in the con­ ference with the British: John M. Winters, Jr., Tulsa, Okla., Chair­ m an-present Chairman of USGA Rules of Golf Committee; Wm. W ard Foshay, New York—member of USGA Executive Commit­ tee; Isaac B.

Howard Wheeler wins 6th UGA title; Vernice Turner top Amateurs Andre Wilson and Shirley Turner Junior Champs PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Philly’s veteran golf­ er, Howard Wheeler, native Atlantan, out­ distanced a field of 40 pros to win his sixth United Golfers Association tournament in August over Pittsburgh’s long, hilly, difficult North Park Golf Course. The cross-handed W heeler played des­ cending rounds of 76, 71, 69, and 66 for a 72-hole, six under par 282. The lanky, easy­ going shot artist trailed Baltimore’s youthful Dick Thomas, 1958 U . S. Open qualifier, for 54 of the 72 holes, coming ahead with a final six under par 66 and a new competitive re­ cord for the man-killing North Park Course. Thomas, low medalist for the event, never went above par with 70, 71, 72, and 70 for his number two 283 spot. Wheeler had previously won the UGA pro tourney in 1933, 1938, 1946, 1947, and 10 years ago in 1948. With six wins, he has won the event more than any other player. Ted Rhodes, 1958 defending champion, and third-placer Charlie Sifford .are believed to have won the tournament twice each. Sif­ ford carded 284 with Rhodes finishing ninth with 293. W heeler’s first tournament win wa s the Atlanta Open in 1931. He never played as an amateur. Alfred “T up” Holmes, Atlanta, became a two-time winner of the men’s am ateur cham­ pionship by defeating low medalist Robert Turner of Cleveland. Son of the famous 74year-old Dr. H . M. Holmes of Atlanta, the younger Holmes has not played in the tour­ ney since he won it in 1947. Dr. Holmes, who took up golf after 50, won the senior men’s consolation flight. Championship hon­ or in the senior men’s division went to James Burris, Jacksonville, who defeated Dr. C . O. Hilton of Newark. Vernice Turner, Ocean City, N .J., became a first-time winner of the tourney’s division for amateur women when she beat Myrtle Patterson of New York City two and one. Both well known and outstanding golfers, Mrs. Turner is Eastern Golf Association wo­ men’s champion, while Mrs. Patterson is a three-time winner of Ray Mitchell’s Miami winter tournament. Mesdames A d liad Adams, Washington, D .C ., Rhoda Fowler, New York City, and Helen Harris, W ashing­ ton, D . C., finished one-two-three in the senior women’s division. A 14-year-old star from Philadelphia, An­ dre Wilson, became junior boys’ champion in the age group of 14 to 17, followed by Thomas Hill, age 16, Washington, D . C., and Lawrence Long, age 14, Detroit. In the younger boys’ championship, Francis Bar­ rett, Jr., age 10, son of the North Park pro, was winner w ith Alan Kendrix, age 11, Washington, D . C., and Charles Sifford, Jr., age 10, Philadelphia, placing second and third, respectively. Young Kendrix is the son of PRman Moss H. Kendrix, recently turned pro, while Master Sifford is the son of the well-known tournament winner of the same name. Seventeen-year-old Shirley Turner of De­ troit, girls’ champion in 1955 and 1956, be­ came a three-time winner by overtaking Re­ nee Powell, East Canton, Ohio, who was the medalist of the division. Miss Powell, age 12, was second and Juanita Arvin, Baltimore, was third. The junior boys and girls and senior women competed on a medal score basis, with trophies being received by players having the three lowest scores. All other amateurs qualified by medal play and com­ pleted their competition by match play* A field of almost 300 players from all sec­ tions of the country competed for the 86 trophies awarded in the 32nd annual UCA tournament. The Coca-Cola Company, At­ lanta, Ga., donates the championship trophies for the nine divisions of the tourney each year, while other trophies are furnished by the local host groups. This year, Pittsburgh’s Yorkshire Golf Club, which was organized in 1937, was host club, with the Dandy Duffers Golf Club cooperating. Beginning with its 1959 tournament in Washington, D . C., UGA will promote its tournaments independent of local club spon­ sorship, according to Franklin T. Lett, De­ troit, who is UGA president. A special na­ tional tournament committee, headed by Howard Anderson, Toledo, Ohio, has been formed within UGA to plan future tourna­ ments of the national golfing body. The Moss H. Kendrix Organization, Washington, D . C., public relations and promotions firm, has been retained to assist UGA in its new pro­ gram. During the Pittsburgh tourney, the tour­ nament planning committee had sessions along with the association’s executive com­ mittee. Among those present, in addition to Mr. Lett and Mr. Anderson, a UGA veep, were Mrs. Paris Brown, tourney director, Washington, D . C .; Mrs. Ann Robinson, as­ sistant tournament director, Chicago; Nat Jordan, executive vice president, St. Louis; Max Stanford, veep, Philadelphia; A. D . V. Crosby and Eugene Cartwright, Columbus, Ohio. Also attending the sessions were Mrs. Mary Campbell, UGA secretary, and Mrs. Lorraine Osborn, youth program director, Chicago; William D. Jones, treasurer, Dayton; Miss Evelyn Williams, Washington, D .

Lett almost started a singing career when he defeated Billy Eckstine on the 20th hole during the United Golfers Association 32nd annual tournament played over the North Park Golf Course. Lett canned a birdie 2 on the 239-yard par three hole to retire Eckstine. Incidentally, this was the hole on which Marion “Cris” Williams, Detroit pro, bagged a hole-in-onc, using a No. 3 iron, to become a member of The Coca-Cola Company’s Hole - In - One Club. Pro Robert Williams of Houston, drop­ ped an eagle two on the 7th, 399-yard par 4, using a wedge second shot. Like dad, 10-year-old Charles Sifford, Jr. finished third in his division. Little Charlie played in the under 14-years group. Dad finished third in the pro division with a fourunder par 284 and got $225. Junior got his first trophy and inched out Alan Kendrix, age 11, of Washington, D .C ., in the driving con­ test for the pee-wees. Speaking of the Kendrixes, Moss and Dor­ othy and sons, Moss, Jr., and Alan, were the only family foursome entered in the tourna­ ment. W inning the only trophy received by the family, Alan placed second in the small fryers’ championship division. There were several husband-wife teams in the tourna­ ment—the Max Stanfords of Philly, the Turn­ ers of Ocean City, N . J.; the Mosleys of De­ troit, and the Adamses of Washington. Mrs. Howard W heeler, the wife of the pro champion, played. Then there was the father-son combination, Dr. H . M. Holmes and men’s amateur champion, “T up”, of Atlanta, and m other-daughter combination, Frances Devine and Evelyn Williams, Washington, each winning trophies. East Canton, Ohio contributed the sister-brother youth team of Renee, age 12, and Bill Powell, age 17. Francis Barrett, Jr., son of the North Park pro, promised to be in W ashington in 1959 to defend his title and Alan Kendrix and Charles Sifford, Jr., who placed two-three in the division, have promised to meet him there. This could go on forever. W hile on the younger set, carnations are in order for Lorraine Osborn, Chicago, for the excellent manner in which she conducts the UGA’s youth tourney. It’s rumored that Alfred “T up” Holmes, Atlanta, will turn pro after winning his sec­ ond UGA am ateur title. Eyes are toward At­ lanta, while there are big question marks over PRman Moss Kendrix entering the pro ranks.

City Amateur Golf Champion, winning the title with a 6-under par 282, including a competitive course record tieing 65 third round. Frank Huff Cops Tucson City “Just when I had begun to think I had to be satisfied with my game, I seem ed to start learning all over again and this without a doubt is my best year ever.” So Frank Huff, of Tucson, Ariz., told TEE-CUP following his victory in the Tuc­ son City Amateur Golf Championship early in October played on his home course, Ran­ dolph. Pre-tourney favorite, Huff had rounds of 73-73-65-71—282 to negotiate the 72-hole medal tourney six under par over Randolph’s 6,517-yard par 36-36—72 layout. His 65 in the third round tied Randolph’s amateur course record. The 39-year old postal work­ er was the only one in the starting field of 153 to complete the four rounds in sub-par figures. A member also of Desert Mashie Golf Club, Phoenix, of the W estern States Golf Association, the new Tucson city kingpin said his victory was particularly satisfying— there wasn’t anything flukey about it, win­ ning out over tough competition. Earlier, Huff, who had made plans to com­ pete in the Cosmopolitan Golf Club Invita­ tional in Los Angeles, had to forego the trip when he won Arizona’s lone berth in the National Public Links Championships by one stroke with a 36-hole total of 143, three over par, on the Encanto Golf Course in Phoenix. Subsequently, Arizona requested another berth in publinx play. Richard Angle of Phoenix, who lost to Huff, joined the latter on the trek to Orland Park, Ill. and divided allowable expenses. Desert Mashie G . C . supplied the balance of Huff’s allowable, the amount to be returned to Desert Mashie by WSGA. A feature of Huff’s qualifying rounds at Encanto was a brilliant 32 on the front nine of the second 18 holes. Back in Orland Park, Huff stated he was joined by eight other Negro amateurs—Clif­ ford Brown and Robert Turner of Cleveland, Ohio, both of whom qualified and were de­ feated in the first round; Joe Roach and Eu­ ral Clark of Los Angeles, the former quali­ fying and defeated in the second round on the 20th hole, the latter failing to qualify. Also by Jerry Sumpter, Pittsburgh, Pa.; An­ drew W oodard, Highland Park, Mich.; E r­ nest Carlisle, Toledo, Ohio; and Leon Little, Bronx, N .Y ., all of whom failed to qualify. “It did my old heart good,” Frank said, “to see so many of us there.” Huff, who also failed to qualify, but tied with Milton Frank of St. Louis, with 74s for H ad ley tells g o lf d iv isio n p erso n n el ch a n g es LOS ANGELES.—Americ Hadley, super­ visor of golf in the City Recreation and Park Department, has announced the following changes in assignment for golf division per­ sonnel: Senior Starter Simon “Si” Wasserman has been shifted from the Sepulveda Dam Park courses to Griffith Park courses to take over the spot vacated by Frank L. “Dick” Thomp­ son, who left the City’s employ effective Oc­ tober 31, having reached the mandatory re­ tirement age of 70.

Golf Course Record Set for 5th Year California Leads All States for 3rd Year CHICAGO.— N ew post-war records in golf course developm ent were set for the fifth consecutive year with 182 new regulation courses and additions opened for play, 293 under construc­ tion and 959 in the planning stage, ac­ cording to the 1958 Annual Report of the National Golf Foundation. California leads all states for the third consecutive year with 31 new golf courses opened for play, 25 courses un­ der construction, and 78 in the planning stage, according to Foundation president Joe Graffis, who presented the report to Founda­ tion members at the annual meeting in Chi­ cago in October. He said: “Only nine states reported no new courses opened for play this year. Following Califor­ nia, Texas has 15 new courses, Florida has 14 and New York is third with 13 courses. “In the construction stage, New York and Ohio trail California with 20 courses each, Pennsylvania is third with 16 courses being built and Florida is fourth with 15. Only three states had no new courses under con­ struction in 1958—New Jersey, South Dakota and Vermont. “Every state reports two or more golf courses in the planning stage. After Califor­ nia (with 78) are Ohio with 59, New York with 53 and Pennsylvania with 48 courses planned.” $27 MILLION INVESTED Graffis said the 182 new courses and addi­ tions represent an estimated $27 million in­ vestment in land, construction and mainte­ nance equipment. He said previous experi­ ence indicates that these new courses will account for 2,879,000 rounds of play in their first year of operation. “It is significant,” he added, “that slightly more than 10% of the new courses fall into the golf course-real estate subdivision cate­ gory. All indications point to a continuing increase in these projects, reversing the ini­ tial post-war tendency to chop up existing courses into homesites.” Records show a total of 5718 regulation golf courses now in play in the United States, a new post-war high. This represents a net gain of 642 golf courses in the five-year period since 1953 when Foundation sponsors voted to expand its Field Service operation to provide information and guidance to the growing number of groups and individuals all over the country seeking to bring new golf courses into play. By this time next year, according to Graf­ fis, at the present rate of development, 1,000 new regulation golf courses will have been FACT SHEET ON GOLF FOR 1958 (As prepared by National G olf Foundation) 5,745 regulation golf courses in the U .

He added that by 1960 there will be better than 6,000 golf courses. STILL SHORT OF DEMAND “Even then we will be far short of meet­ ing the growing demand for places to play golf,” Graffis said. An estimated 75 million rounds of golf will be chalked up on the na­ tion’s courses this year—topping by 5.7% the 71 million round record set last year. In addition to regulation courses, the Foundation reported 38 new “par 3” or “short” golf courses opened for play in 1958, 32 more in the construction stage and 124 new prospects. This brings the total par-3s now in operation to 256—more than twice the 120 listed by the Foundation in 1955. “The growing number of par-3s, along with the steady increase in driving ranges and miniature golf courses—all ‘incubators of golf’—are adding significant numbers to the golfing population each year,” Graffis said.

Dr. Joseph H. Howard, Early Jones and Dick Bernum were with Mathews, who lives at 2651 South M anhattan Place, when he got his “greatest thrill,” Hogan said. Matthews and his foursome enjoyed steak dinners as guests of concessionaire Bob Fagans , Griffith Park Clubhouse Restaurant, and the six-handicapper also received a set of cuff links and matching tie clasp from Golf Pro Paul Scott. USGA plans double qualifying for 59 Open NEW YORK.—A new system of double qualifying for the Open Championship has been adopted by the United States Golf As­ sociation, for trial in 1959. Instead of 36-hole sectional qualifying at approximately 28 locations, there will be two series of trials, as follows: 1. Local Qualifying Rounds at a large number of locations; 71 locations are now being surveyed. These events will be at 36 holes on Monday, May 18. There will be a broad range of exemptions, for perhaps as many as 90 players. Approximately 20 per cent of the entries, or a total of about 500 players, will become eligible for the second qualifying series. 2. Sectional Qualifying Championships at approximately 13 locations, on Monday, June 1 at 36 holes. Exemptions will be available to the same categories of players as in recent years. The field for the championship proper will be 150, instead of 162 as before. The cham­ pionship will be played at the W inged Foot Golf Club, Mamaroneck, N .Y ., June 11-1213. The double qualifying series is designed to give improved opportunity for the most capable players to qualify for the champion­ ship. It is patterned after a qualifying sys­ tem used for the 1942 Hale America Na­ tional Open Golf Tournament, the war-time substitute for the Open Championship. In 1953 an endeavor was made to mini­ mize inequities under the existing system by having, after sectional competition, a 36-hole qualifying event for 300 players at the cham­ pionship site, immediately before the tourna­ ment proper. Although that system was gen­ erally well received, there were enough sub­ stantial objections to warrant abandonment after one trial. Following are details of the new plan and a list of locations under consideration for qualifying. Chairman of the USGA Cham­ pionship Committee is Charles L. Peirson, of Boston.

A landslide vote swept the two-time Mas­ ters Champion into golf’s mythical shrine, Harold Sargent, president of The Profession­ al Golfers’ Association of America, announc­ ed in October. Smith, who served as president of The PGA of America from 1952 through 1954, received 821 votes in a nation-wide poll of his fellow PGA members. Election to the PGA Hall of Fame is based on playing abili­ ty. Fred McLeod was second, with 388, and Jock Hutchison Sr. third, with 237. Henry Picard and Olin Dutra tied for fourth place, with 96 votes each. Johnny Farrell had 89. Smith, who turned 50 years of age last May 22, won 33 tournaments during a career as a professional that began in his ’teens. He won the first Masters tournament in 1934 and regained the title in 1936.

N a b s P a r a m o n t Elizabeth Fucuals Also Gets in Act Again in San Diego Tourney By A. “SHOELESS JOE” JACO SAN DIEG O .— The clubhouse at Balboa M unicipal Golf Course was any­ thing but lachrymose as the record-breaking field of 132 spent, perspiring, and aspiring “pros” struggled in after completing 36 holes on one of the most exas ­ perating golf courses in these parts. Balboa boasts of everything that Torrey Pines has except rattlesnakes. Gulches, can­ yons, thickets aplenty, and spongy spots in some fairways where the grass actually has tentacles which not only grab your ball, but will arrest your club and chortle gleefully at your efforts to extricate it. But that look of relief and tired pleasure evident on the countenances of all the par­ ticipants after successfully completing that narrow 500-yard plus 18th Alpine hole, which will do more towards sterilization than all the radiation fallouts we may have to en­ dure, without collapsing, said definitely that Paramount had put on the most successful and entertaining event in all its history. Milton Rayson apparently just comes and waits for the coronation as he has refused to accept anything except the big end in the last three major tournaments—the WSGA Championships, the Vernoncrest, and now the Eighth Annual Paramount Invitational. The Cosmopolitan Golf Club is glad to have Milt back in the fold. It makes us duffers proud to be your club brother. Carry on, Milt! Rayson and Al McDaniel, erstwhile Cos­ mo, now Postal sportsman, and the one golf­ er who has won more major championships than any amateur in the West, tied opening day with 72s, but Al’s rest was interfered with, apparently, Saturday night as he faded to a 77 in the final round which relegated him to the show spot, three big blows behind Rayson’s 146 total. Steve Swain finished with a 147 to snare the runnerup spot. Three over par in 36 holes on that extremely tight and very sporty layout is a commendable feat. Any rimmed putt, had it fallen, may have put Swain in the winner’s circle. The A Flight was a dead heat between Lendsy Wiley, Postal, and Dr. Joe Howard, Cosmo. Each netted 143. Wiley birdied the first hole of a sudden death playoff to put “Doc” in the same cell as the Braves—run­ nerup. Henry Tave, Cosmo, seems to have a winning complex as he wound up in third place with a net 146. Howard Groom, transplanted Jayhawker, a Cosmo, overpowered the B Flighters, coast­ ing in with a 139 net, five blows better than William Terry, Paramount, and Jess Tarrant, Cosmo, who each netted 144. Terry grabbed runnerup honors in a sudden death playoff. Tarrant, however, was very happy to gamer a piece of that beautiful hardware. The C Flight saw Lidge Green, another Cosmo, at the pay window. His net 141 held F. Moore, Paramount, safe at second with a 144 net. R. E. Tisdale, Paramount, was a close third with a 145. W atch these guys, you B Flighters, next year as they have had a taste of blood. The D Flight saw two homebreds finish­ ing 1-2. George Faine, Paramount, net 155, had the largest winning margin of all flights. Check him closely, Mr. Handicap Chairman. His brother, Paramounter Harold Hamilton, was runnerup with a net 166 after defeating C. Lewis, who also netted 166, in a playoff. Elizabeth Fucuals, Fairway G .C .’s bomb­ er who just refuses to lose, crushed the wo­ men’s championship aspirants with a 156. Mrs. Fucuals is rapidly becoming one of our most promising lady tee artists. She actually pulverizes a ball, and when she acquires a bit more finesse in her short game she will have to be reckoned with nationally. Elizabeth (Mrs. Li’l Duffer) Moore made it unanimous for the Liz’s by finishing second with a 174. Keep swinging “Miz L. D.” Ver­ noncrest should be proud of you! The ladies A Flight saw Gwen McDaniel, Aberdeen G .C ., Los Angeles, and Western States’ infant member, hit the tape with yards to spare. H er 160 net gave her a very comfortable margin over charming and per­ sonable Etta Drake, Vernoncrest, who netted 179 for runnerup honors. During Paramount’s tourney four years ago, we were a guest in the home of friends and in order to get him, or her, interested in the game, I promised either of them their first set of clubs if, and when, they began to play. Well, it seems as if I ’m going to have to visit someone’s credit union because she is playing and playing well enough to win the B Flight. Salud, Mrs. Lavaria Butler! Your net 150 won it for you in a walkover. Your first trophy; you will long remember. Too much can’t be said for Simon Rhyne, tournament chairman, and his hard working committee—Battle, White, et al. We com­ mend you for your tourney savvy and effi­ ciency. All the West is looking forward to 1959 and Paramount’s new-found capabili­ ties. Leroy Watson gets 1st ace SAN DIEGO.—Paramount Golf Club’s Le­ Roy Watson got his first hole-in-one on Oc­ tober 13 when he aced the first hole of the Municipal Nine Hole Course. Measuring 150 yards, the hole is rather difficult and has not been aced often. Watson used an 8 iron, as Bob Farnham watched.

W ith 236 men and 35 women in the field, including 92 white golfers, it was only the second time the tournament has been won by a Negro golfer. The 30-year old Osborne had a 72-70—142 and defeated Jim Seltzer, of the host club tournament committee, on the first hole of the sudden death playoff with a par. Patti Shook, 15-year old daughter of Lorin Shook, pro at Warwick Hills Country Club, became the second white girl to win the tourney, firing an 81 the second day for a 171 total. Played over the weekend of July 19-20, the tournament, called one of the most ex­ citing in the country, drew over 1000 spec­ tators on Sunday. CARNATION CUP WINNER—Dr. C.

Harold Nickens, co-chairman for Internes’ enter­ tainment committee; Dr. John Lawlah, tournament chairman, and Dr. Robert E. Lee, de­ fending champion. Brave downpour in eastern division tourney ALLENTOW N, Pa.—A continuous down­ pour of rain failed to halt the scheduled United Golfers Association, Eastern Division Tournament at Allentown, Pa. in June where 130 ardent golfers vied for honors in pro and amateur divisions.

MORE GOLF COURSE-REAL ESTATE DEVELOPM ENT AHEAD: Over 10 percent of the new courses opened this year were part of real estate-golf course projects and the percentage will be even higher next year . . . An emphatic reversal of the initial post-war tendency of real estate developers to gobble up and convert golf course prop­ erties into sub-divisions.

H arbor P ark Course opens LOS ANGELES.—Public play at Los An­ geles' newest links facility, Harbor Park Course, 1701 W est “L ” Street, Wilmington, got underway in October. 86 golf groups ok new USGA handicap system MARITAL BLISS-M r. and Mrs. Ike Taylor celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary here in Los Angeles on August 10th. The popular Ike and his vivacious wife are mem­ bers of the Cosmopolitan Golf Club and Cos­ mopolitan Auxiliary, respectively. memo to golfers N EW YORK.—Eighty-six golf associations have notified the United States Golf Associa­ tion that they are using or recommending the USGA Handicap System which became ef­ fective January 1, 1958. They represent all types from sectional, state and district to women’s, seniors’ and public links, and they cover all parts of the country. One hundred three replies were received from a poll. Of the remaining 17 associations, three plan to adopt the USGA System in 1959, one was undecided, one did not answer the specific question and 12 are using other systems. USGA handicaps are required of entrants in both the USGA Amateur and W omen’s Amateur Championships. Interest and satisfaction have been ex­ pressed by many clubs which find the system both fair and workable. One men’s sectional association, 15 men’s state associations and 22 men’s district asso­ ciations have rated their courses or are in the process of doing so. Three state associations and one district association will rate their courses in the near future. Sixteen women’s associations have rated their courses or are in the process, and six others will rate their courses soon. International interest was aroused when the system was explained informally to the foreign delegates to the Planning Conference for The W orld Amateur Golf Team Cham­ pionship in W ashington in May. As a result the USGA has received notification that the Venezuelan Golf Association has adopted the USGA System, and other countries seem likely to follow suit. Joe Roach in Headlines (Continued from page 13) ly enjoyed his experience, stating that the course was probably the toughest he had ever played. A member of Cosmopolitan Golf Club, Roach’s allowable expenses were defrayed by the W estern States Golf Association, of which Cosmopolitan G .C . is a charter mem­ ber (see picture). A day or two later, Roach was among 335 divot-diggers who teed off in the Monday through Saturday, June 23-28, 41st Annual Los Angeles City Golf Championships. The field beat by 12 the previous high for this annual event, a classic co-sponsored by the City Recreation Department and the Munici­ pal Golf Association. For the second year in a row, Roach gain­ ed the finals and was again relegated to the Number Two spot as Al Chandler, a swinger from Beaumont, Texas, won the champion­ ship flight crown by defeating the Cosmo­ politan standard-bearer by a 6 and 5 margin (see picture). As always in sports, it usually is “the way the ball bounces” that determines the win­ ner, and a sportsman and good golfer who knows the truth of this saying is experienced Joe Roach, who though unassuming as he appears to be, nevertheless has the burning urge to stay in the headlines—month after month—on the side of Lady Luck!—JCF. Slow-playing golfers are a headache all over the country, and the United States Golf Association has put out a number of “flyers,” suggesting t h a t swingers speed-up their games. Pointing out that slow play is largely caus­ ed by individual players not being ready to execute shots when it is their turn, the USGA urges linksters to reach decisions quickly and execute shots promptly. It has also urged its member clubs to “do a little missionary work” in the meaning of the term “execute shots promptly.” Americ Hadley, supervisor of golf in the Los Angeles City Recreation and Park D e­ partment, announces that his division has joined the crusade and has revised golf cards for municipal courses to include a “memo to golfers.” The card lists the following six rules which are designed to speed up play: 1. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Have ball, tee, and club ready; don’t fumble for them at the last minute. 2. W atch your ball; mark it by a tree, bush or other object, and go directly to it. Assist other members of your party in locat­ ing a lost ball. Signal following players through if for any reason there is a clear hole ahead. 3. Leave your bag or cart 10 feet from side of green leading to next tee. 4. Move off green, then tally score, so fol­ lowing players may play up.

At the half way point the colorful pre­ tourney favorite, Venturi was far off the pace. In fact, in a tie for 20th place with such stellar golfers as Don W hitt of Borrego Springs; Pete Cooper, Lakeland, Fla.; Smiley Quick, Whittier, Calif., Charles Sifford, Los Angeles, Calif.; Babe Lichardus, Grossinger, New York; Al Besselink, Grossinger, N .Y .; Mike Homa, Rye, N.Y.; and Jack Fleck, conquerer of Ben Hogan in the U .S . Open. Never-the-less some of Venturi’s followers from the Bay Area were chanting “Watch Him” the next two days. Didn’t get exactly what they meant. Being so far back at this point he slipped from my mind and sight, until the last day when I got the news that he was showing the best form he had shown in the tournament and was as steady as the hands of a brain surgeon. I picked him up on the Number Seven hole just in time to see him go birdie, eagle, eagle on the 7th, 8th and 9th holes respectively and go out with an amazing 30, six under par. Now the huge gallery began looking for a course record to he equalled or broken as the “Thunder Bolt”, Tommie Bolt, had set it in the 1956 Los Angeles Open with a 3330, and Venturi, out in 30, three strokes bet­ ter than Bolt’s front nine, it seemed certain that this 3-year old record was in jeopardy. From this point I was determined to watch every shot. As I watched them post his score for the first nine I noticed that the first six holes consisted of five pars and one birdie. If I may digress just for a moment I would like to give you the lay-out of the course, yardage-wise that Bolt fired his rec­ ord 63 and the same course, 123 yards longer, that Venturi equalled. The 1956 course: (course reversed both years) No. 1 -4 1 6 , No. 2-45 2, No. 3-2 1 9 , No. 4-3 9 0 , No. 5 -4 4 5 , No. 6-4 4 3 , No. 7 -1 9 4 , No. 8 542, No. 9 -5 0 8 -3 5 0 9 ; No. 10-398, No. 1 1 454, No. 12-209, No. 13-551, No. 14-398, No. 15-445, No. 16-388, No. 17-234 and No. 1 8 -4 0 2 -3 4 0 9 -7 1 . 1959, with six holes lengthened, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, and 18 it was measured as follows: No. 1-416, No. 2 -4 5 2 , No. 3 -2 1 9 , No. 4 390, No. 5 -4 4 5 , No. 6 -4 4 3 , No. 7 -2 0 3 , No. 8-5 4 2 , No. 9 -5 4 8 -3 6 5 8 , Out.

The afternoon when Bolt was on his birdie and par rampage, on his way to the course record, I saw a real champion on the links, especially on the number nine hole when he had chosen a driver for his second shot to try to get home in two, but a little something went wrong with the swing, as Bolt was playing the toughest hole on the course, extremely narrow fairway, out of bounds Page Twenty-two right and left, Los Angeles city street on the left and the driving range on the right. And as he tried to reach home the shot landed in the driving range. Bolt, unshaken, now proves to the huge gallery that mistakes in golf can be recti­ fied, and to prove to the cynics that he had chosen the right club, he immediately dropped another ball, and without hesitation he addresses the ball with the same driver, took one practice swing for assuredness and let it fly. This time he’s home, 31 feet from the pin and holes out for a par despite the two-stroke penalty, for a slick 33. On this same ninth hole Venturi holed out his longest putt of the day. Yes, you guessed it, a 30 footer for an eagle and a blistering 30 going out. After Ken bogeyed the 12th hole gallery­ ites began to wonder if he could birdie 3 of the remaining six holes. It would take that to tie the course record. A par at thirteen, and then came what they had waited for — a perfect approach and a birdie at fourteen; another par at 15. Now will he tie the record. To do this he must birdie two of the next three holes. Sixteen again put him in fine shape as he birdied. The long 234 par 3 Seventeenth he could do no better than par. His work is now cut out, because he must birdie number Eighteen. Buzzing begins now that birdie won’t only tie but will win. W hat will it be? As Venturi said, after losing to Middle­ coff in the 1956 Masters championship, “I played Middlecoff and not the course. The loss taught me to play within myself and the result is that I believe I can become a great golfer.” But now I wondered if Ven­ turi didn’t have Bolt’s record 63 on his mind when his long tee shot on Number 18 landed slightly in the rough on the right. As he stood gazing at the green some 150 yards away, in doubt about the distance, he headed for the green, in fact to the pin. After spending about 40 seconds on the green and starting back to his ball, he seemed to count every step. Byron Nelson once said, “Venturi is going to be the top player for the next ten years. He knows he can hit a 5 or 7 iron a certain distance. He knows exactly how far the ball will travel.” I must agree with Lord Byron. As Ken started his trek back to his clubs, he stopped on the apron of the green and picked up an empty cigarette package and tossed it aside and kept walking. On two occasions he picked up a few blades of grass holding them slightly above his shoulder and dropping them, testing the velocity of the wind. He sped up his steps, his mind fully made up. As he reached his caddie, without a moment’s thought he reached in his bag, drew a 7 iron, addressed his ball and let it fly. The ball landed on the apron of the green in the vicinity where he had lifted the cigarette package, took two bounces and rolled dead 10 feet past the pin. After the Elmo Felix Heads Superintendents LOS ANGELES—Elmo Feliz, golf course foreman at Griffith Park courses, was recently elected president of the Southern California Golf Course Superintendents Association, ac­ cording to Ray Ditmore, golf district park foreman in the Los Angeles City Recreation and Park Department. Feliz, who was promoted to golf course foreman in the D epartm ent in 1953, has been a City employee since 1936. In 1956-57 he served as secretary of the Association he will head in 1959, and was vice-president of the organization in 1958. The new president of the Southern Cali­ fornia Golf Course Superintendents Associa­ tion grew up around municipal links, D it­ more said. Feliz’s father, Arnulfo, served the Golf Division for 22 years, from 1913 to 1935, and Elmo himself was a caddy at the Griffith Park Golf courses on weekends and during summer vacations while he was go­ ing to school. deafening applause had ceased and Ken had reached the green, he doffed his cap in gratitude. Then came the pressure putt. This shot, I think, was his best. Having been in­ formed that this putt would mean the win­ ner, and as he knew it would tie the course record, he took one short look to get his line, a left breaking putt slightly down hill, he addressed his ball gave it a light tap and it trickled in the cup, to equal the course record and win the tournament. I was there. Amateur clubs of the W.S.G.A., especially those in California, can boast a champion, the Ex-National Negro champion of the U.S. Charles (Charlie Hoss) Sifford. W e have been informed that he has set up permanent resi­ dence in Los Angeles, and in his family he has a young son already following in his footsteps, quite a golfer and a member of the newly organized Los Angeles Commun­ ity Junior Golf Association. W e hope some day he might be our “Cham p”.

You will also notice that Venturi played 7, 8 and 9 five under par. You will also notice that Sifford birdied the last four holes in a row going out. There you have it.

Steger gets h o le-in -1 SAN DIEGO, Calif.—James Steger, mem­ ber of Paramount Golf Club, got a hole in one on the 7th hole at Mission Bay Golf Course here on July 30. A 140-yard hole, he used a 9 iron. This is an especially difficult hole as it is on a knoll with the green sloping away from the tee. He automatically becomes a member of the San Diego Union-Jessop Hole-In-One Club, receiving a medal and certificate. He also will receive a trophy from Spalding Co. for using one of their balls. He is as happy as a lark. A GOOD PICTURE here shows Jimmie DeVoe, TEE-CUP columnist, and Eoline Thornton, former national tennis queen, and member of Recreation Park Women’s Golf Club. DeVoe, who has been a golf professional for 48 years, is assistant pro at Fox Hills Country Club, Culver City, Calif., on the staff of Harry Bassler.

Pezzullo elected PGA Golf Pro-of-Year ’58 DUNEDIN, Fla.—Harry Pezzullo has been elected PGA Golf Professional-of-the-Year for 1958. His election was announced in October by Harold Sargent, president of The Profession­ al Golfers’ Association of America, which established the annual award in 1955. Pezzullo, a 47-year old native of Barring­ ton, R .I ., has been a golf professional for 25 years. He recently completed his 12th season at Mission Hills Golf Club in North­ brook, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. The 1958 Golf Professional-of-the-Year was elected in September for an unprece­ dented fifth term as president of the Illinois Section of The PGA of America. He’s com­ pleting his first year as a vice president of the national organization. Pezzullo was named the nation’s No. 1 home-club professional by a secret commit­ tee of outstanding amateur golfers. This group studied the qualifications of 31 sec­ tional nominees before making its decision. The energetic Illinois professional was chosen on the basis of his exceptional allaround ability and his many contributions to the game of golf, especially his work with veterans, junior golfers and lady golfers. As an infantry technical sergeant during World War II, Pezzullo became interested in golf as a means of rehabilitating injured service men. He still devotes much time to veterans hospitals and Army installations.

It might be just a coincidence, but it’s a fact that the Yorkshire Golf Club of Pitts­ burgh has hosted the UGA tourney every six years since W orld W ar 11—1942, 1952, and 1958. The 1959 UGA meet will be in W ash­ ington, D .C . where the event was staged in 1957. UGA has big things in store when it takes over the sponsorship of its tourney at the 1959 site.

"Ferns on The Fairways" By “LIL” & MARY This column w ill be devoted to the ladies in golf. Some who can com pete with their men associates on the fairways and greens, and some w h o have great potentials in this great sport. They range from duffers to champions, and be- Brown heads Foothill G .C . lieve it or not, they give color, sportsmanship and comraderie to any tournament. Men have never been known to get along success­ fully in any line of endeavor without that feminine touch of appraised value and sup­ port. Notwithstanding their many duties and re­ sponsibilities as a wife, mother and, in many instances, helping to supplement the family budget, they enjoy the opportunity to par­ ticipate and compete in a recreation that is fast becoming a top sport for men and wo­ men. With more women becoming interested daily in golf by securing “pro” instruction, playing the game often, and adhering to the rules plus consistent participation, it is w ith­ out a doubt that they will automatically gain more recognition and consideration in the formulation of all tournament competition. As the regarded weaker sex by those of stronger capabilities, women do not want sympathy nor any favors granted in this game. They merely ask for a better-organiz­ ed and well-planned course of play on all competitive occasions. During our course of travel and participa­ tion in the WSGA member club tournament circuit, there has been a fair percentage of women players in accordance to the number throughout the jurisdiction actually playing the game. However, with the newly mani­ fested interest in all women’s clubs and mix­ ed groups, the lady golfers will not only be seen, but will be swinging and playing the game with vigor on the W est Coast circuit. Look for us—we will all be there! We take our hats off to some of our regu­ lar feminine long hitters, sweet swingers, par shooters and putting scorers, i. e., Thelma Cowans, Eoline Thornton, Maude Thomas, Elizabeth Fucuals, Emma Banks, Elizabeth Moore, Gladys Mitchell, Ferne Pemberton, Faye Kimbrough, Anne Jamison, Edna Dot­ son, Carolyn Cain, Joyce Robinson, Gwen McDaniel, Etta Drake, Kathy Winslow, Pep Jordan, Hortense Sapp, Bernice Gerren, Mag­ gie Hathaway, Roberta Fairs, Doris Joyner, Quilla Diggs, Marie Coker, Bertha Davis, Ursula Davis and Louise Hill. There are others, whom we shall recog­ nize in our next column. All of these men­ tioned, including the others, will be seen on the FAIRWAYS. Look for them!
