Two nf W aller Nairn 's old pals heard he In Columbus during Ihe PGA cham-

pionship, . , They Marled to look for htm at midnight Saturday night, . . They dis-covered Walter had gone to lied and was sleeping soundly. . . That's the really sen-sational scoop of the I 'GA tournament. . . Walter looked better at Columbus than he did a year ago although he'd just recovered from a week's illness.

N e w s p a p e r stories r a p p i n g H o g a n for not show ing in P G A b e t w e e n P a i m Beach and Moto r City t ou rnament s might have been avoided. . . E a r l y l e t te r -wr i t ing or w i r i ng wou ld have p revented a n y mis -unders tand ing . . . L o c k e ' s j a m s in the U .S . w e r e ma in ly because he didn 't state his case In w r i t i n g wel l b e f o r e misunderstand-ings could develop. . . S o m e of the boys just don ' t unders tand that . . . O thers pro-tect themselves a g a i n s t c rowded tourna -ment and exhibit ion schedules b y c lear ing themselves hy letter or w i r e f a r in advance so nobody can put the p l a y e r s on the spot f o r wha t the p l ayers d idn ' t say.

In Hogan's ease he may have been letting litmsclf in for too much, going for the Palm Beach tournament right after the National Open with Its extra round. . . But he was making good on his word to Jug McSpaden and Elmer Ward. . . The PGA sandwiched In between the Palm Beach anil I>etrolt's Motor City Open might have put Ben in a black box.

Some top M D s have told me there 's a b ig r isk of Ben g o i n g too s t r ong despite the mas te r l y surg ica l w o r k and the f ight -ing heart that got H o g a n back in business. . . I t ' s only m y g u e s s tha t H o g a n didn't g e t the huge accidcnt sett lement some stories have mentioned. . . A n d I haven 't had the combinat ion of g ood report ing and bad manners to ask B e n w h a t he got, . . So I have a hunch that B e n m a y have a pret ty s t r ong reason f o r g e t t i ng all the money he can f r o m go l f w h i l e he can get

it, . . Tha t ' s p robab ly w h a t a n y of the test of us wou ld d o . . . But it 's too bad the situation w a s n ' t expla ined expl ic it ly to all concerned w i th the P G A championship . . . One has to s ay for Ben that he's g o t a lot of th ings keeping h im busy now w hen more rest wou ld be bet ter for him. , .

FERGUSON NIGHT CRAWLER Green Aerifying Machine

FAST • EFFICIENT • ECONOMICAL Complete hoi low-tin in g at the time cultivation is most needed is now possible. The Night Crawler gives com* plete penetration regardless of compacted conditions left by driving spring rains and heavy early «eason play,

Eighteen hole courses can be completely hollow*tined in two days without extra help with less surface dis* turhance than is normally caused by top dressing. Greens arc taken out of play only during actual process-ing and clean-up which amounts to less than one hour.

Plugs removed may be used as stolons for starting a nursery or for compost if given time to decompose.

Have your golf supply house arrange a demonstration on your grounds.

Chet Keetey, for twenty year* the successful and genial Pro-Manager of the University of Notre Dome Golf Course, supervise* the hoilow-tlning of his greens. A f ter studying other methods of aerification Mr. Keeley's choice is the hollow-tilting method with the Ferguson Night Crawler .

Plugt ara ef l i f 'y removed, sweep •urfece and f f ' i ready for pipy.

MILORGANIZED TURF G R O W S FIFRRFR

LOOKS B f T r f R

Fairways, greens and tees fertilized con sistently with M I L O R G A N I T E , the natural organic nitrogen plant food, are distinguished by rich, deep green color, uniform texture and a healthy, closely knit root system. "MILORGANIZED ' ' turf resists disease and withstands mam of the climatic rigors to which less sturdy turf succumbs.

These are reasons why Golf Clubs use more M11 OR-G A N [TP. than any other commercial fertilizer. Our Soil Testing Lab-oratory and Turf Serv-ice Bureau are avail-able to you upon request.
