' Dr, Graham's desire to hold a Pastor's In-vitation tournament here in September.

By that time a 9-hole addition will be completed and ready for use. The new "nine will measure about 3,400 yards and will feature a par-6 hole stretching to 745 yards. That may be the longest in the world.

Dr. Graham is one of many who claims that the bentgrass greens at Black Moun-tain are the best in the country.

Advice Is Sought Ross Taylor is a fanatic on grass. He is

often souglit out by supts. in surrounding areas for advice on ailing greens. As presi-dent of the Carolinas GCSA, Ross points out that the putter is the most used club

1 in golf and the green is where the scoring is done. Thus, players relish working on well manicured and true greens.

Taylor and state representative, Gordon •Greenwood of black Mountain, worked for years to get the state legislature to appropriate money to N, C. State College agriculture department to set up experi-

• mental stations to test different strains of grass for golf courses, play grounds and highway roadsides, Taylor devotes

many hours every week to studying the effects of different types of fertilizers on various grasses as well as other aspects of turf growing.
