Jaycee International Match Switched to St. Paul

Originally scheduled to play in Tulsa, Okla., competitors in the 19th Jaycee International Junior Boys Golf Champion-ships will compete at Mendakota and Southview CC courses in South St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 3-8. Along with the cham-pionship title goes an invitation to take part in next year's Bing Crosby Pro Am tourney at Pebble Beach in Monterey, Calif. The championships are being held in St. Paul this year as part of the Jaycee Twin Cities Sports Spectacular covering tennis, track and field events as well as golf. The St. Paul tourney will draw on 25,000 junior golfers from more than 1,000 communities that have Jaycee spon-sored junior golf programs.

Established in 1946, the Jaycee Junior Golf program has helped launch such cir-cuit stars as Jack Nicklaus, Al Geiberger, Gene Littler, Doug Sanders, Tommy Ja-cobs, Phil Rodgers, Jack Rule, Jr. and Raymond Floyd. In 19 years it is estimat-ed that over 400,000 youngsters have par-ticipated in the Jaycee program.

Instruction Clinics The Jaycee program is based on care-

fully planned instruction clinics in which beginnfers have the opportunity to par-ticipate and receive fundamental train-ing. Interest and skill in golf are pro-moted through these clinics plus local competition. Special tournaments are sometimes set up for first year players in order to give them a chance to win a title.

Co-sponsors with the Jaycees are the Pepsi-Cola Co., the National Golf Founda-tion and the Athletic Institute. A pam-phlet covering the "how-to" of organizing a Jaycee Junior Golf program is available from the U. S. Junior Chamber of Com-merce's national headquarters as well as instruction booklets for use in teaching clinics.

Ann Casey Johnstone, one of the all-time greats in women's amateur golf, now is teaching the game at Stephens College in Missouri. She played with three Curtis Cup teams.

TUBULAR STEEL IS THE DIFFERENCE YOU FEEL. We invented the step-down-design tubular-steel golf shaft in 1927. Since then we've not only made many improvements in this shaft (used by

most golf-dub makers today), but we've also pioneered the use of tubular steel in

hand tools and fishing rods. Whether you swing a club, hammer a nail, cast a lure,

or trim a limb—today you can get a top-performing blend of power, light weight,

balance and resiliency with True Temper's special kind of tubular-steel con-

struction. Try new dubs, new tools, new fishing _ _

rods—and feel the True Temper difference. S3/RUE I EM PER STEP-DOWN-DESIGN STEEL GOLF SHAFTS • GENEVA. OHIO • FINEST QUALITY IN GARDEN. LAWN A N D FARM TOOLS •

Several Clubs Claim to be Oldest in the U. S.

An article in a recent issue of the USGA Golf Journal reported on claims and counter-claims to the title of "oldest golf club in the U. S." St. Andrew's GC in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., has long been believed to be the oldest. Under current investigation, though, are the Dorset (Vt.) Field Club, said to trace its beginnings to 1886, and the Foxburg (Pa.) CC which contends it was formed in 1887. Another early club, Middlesboro (Ky.) GG, is also considered in the USGA Journal. Except for St. Andrew's, which has documented records of its founding on Nov. 14, 1888, records of the other clubs are confined to recollections and legend.

St. Andrew's position in the whole matter was well stated by Ford Frick, commissioner of baseball and past presi-dent of the club. At the 75th anniversary dinner, Frick dealt with the true meaning of St. Andrew's and the relative unimport-ance of which club is the oldest.

The one in the back is a greenskeeper. He makes golf courses beautiful. The one in the front is a Harley-Davidson golf car. It keeps golf courses beautiful because it doesn't tear up the turf. Our gasoline car has a torque-sensitive automatic transmission, which means no matter how hard you tromp down on the accelerator you can't spin the wheels. Try it. Our electric car accomplishes the same thing with a special torque-limiting device. Wheels can't spin. Try them both on your own golf course.

Incidentally, if you're a potential fleet-buyer, our dealers are accustomed to servicing fleets locally (nearly 3000 police fleets). They know how to keep golf cars on golf courses. Earning profits. Contact your local Harley-Davidson dealer or write, Sales Manager, Golf Car Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201.

Five Honored at Luncheon; Two More at Golf Show

The Philadelphia PGA spent a good deal of time in late March passing out awards to residents who have been active in supporting local golf. Five received citations at the annual spring luncheon on Mar. 18, and two more were recognized at the Philadelphia PGA indoor golf show on March 23.

Those receiving recognition at the luncheon were Mrs. James S. Whaley, sponsor of an 18-hole tournament held in honor of her late husband; Gus Haug, president of the Newton Tool and Ma-chine Co., which sponsors an 18-hole in-vitational at Riverton CC; James G. Hogg, president of the Plymouth Golf Ball Co. and an active supporter of PGA events including the Philadelphia sectional; Oliver Troup, sponsor of a pro-member tournament at Juniata GC, a Philadelphia muny; and M. M. Freeman, chief backer of the Indian Valley Open.

Joseph C. Dey, Jr. and Robert L. Tay-lor were cited at the PGA Golf Show. Dey, a former Philadelphia golf writer, has for the past 30 years been associated with the USGA and is currently executive director of the organization. Taylor is president and publisher of the Phila-delphia Evening and Sunday Bulletin and has been instrumental in getting financial and community support for golf since 1940.

"Golf Rules in Brief" A simplified version of the rules of golf

is available from the USGA, 40 East 38th St., New York, N.Y. 10016. It is empha-sized that "Golf Rules in Brief" is not a substitute for the complete rule book, nor will it answer all questions that may arise. Yet for the average golfer, it is an excel-lent guide in maintaining the USGA standard. The 4-page booklet is printed on weather-resistant cardboard in a handy 4 by 7-in. size. Cost is $5 per 100.

Approximately 200 events are listed in the Chicago District GA 1964 tourna-ment schedule, recently published. It cov-ers the period from May 2 to Oct. 10.

The portable camera broadens the scope of programming and is used in areas where large and expensive studio equipment cannot be conveniently trans-ported. A shoulder mount and a manually operated zoom lens with a through-the-lens eyepiece are special features. The control unit, sync generator and batteries are mounted on a golf cart, permitting maximum maneuverability.

Dallas, Nassau County Publish Golf Operation Aid Pamphlets Two aids to public course operation

come from widely separate sources. The City of Dallas park and recreation

department issues a pamphlet to golfers, "8 Ways to Enjoy Your Golf Game Better" and the dept. of public works in East Meadow, N.Y., has published a "Golf Ranger's Manual."

The Dallas pamphlet includes six pages of cartoons that emphasize etiquette and courtesy. They cover scorecard marking, littering, protection of greens, slow play and the necessity for checking the score-card for ground rules that should be ob-served.

It is not made clear whether the Dallas pamphlet is available for outside distribu-tion. Grover C. Keeton is the golf super-visor for the city. He is located at 506 City Hall.

Ranger's Manual The Ranger's Manual is for the guid-

ance of employees at Salisbury Park, which is part of the Nassau County park system. It outlines the duties of a golf ranger and tells him what he is authorized to do in order to keep play moving. There is a section on checking fees and passes and handling golf carts. It also tells the ranger what should serve as his main point of operation on two courses, and stresses the use of good judgment and common sense in carrying out the rules of the courses. Francis J. Sinnott is the supt. of parks for Nassau County.

'Catch-On Tourney' at Philadelphia Show

The Philadelphia PGA's annual indoor show held in March was marked by much participation in activity events. Especially popular was the "Catch-On Tourney" de-signed to sharpen a golfer's chipping touch. A special ball that adheres to the surface of a ringed target was used. Mark-ings on the target indicated whether the shot was an eagle, birdie, par or bogey. Driving nets, manned by Philadelphia pros who offered free instruction to swing-ers, got a big play. This year the show included an indoor putting surface for the first time.
