  • West Virginia Open History Compiled by Bob Baker
    West Virginia Open History Compiled by Bob Baker 1933: Johnny Javins, the pro at Edgewood Country Club in Charleston, defeated pro I. C. ""Rocky''' Schorr of Bluefield Country Club in an 18-hole playoff at Kanawha Country Club in South Charleston to win the first West Virginia Open. Javins shot a 76 in the playoff while Schorr had an 82. They agreed to split first and second place money but Javins got the trophy donated by George C. Weimer of St. Albans. Javins and Schorr had tied after 72 holes of medal play with 302 scores. Schorr held a five-stroke lead over the field and an 11-stroke edge over Javins after two rounds but faltered on the second 36-hole day. Schorr's troubles started when he took a nine on the par-four third hole, needing five strokes to get out of a trap. Javins began his comeback with a 69 in the third round to pick up all 11 strokes on Schorr. The West Virginia Professional Golfers Association was formed in a meeting a month before the tournament, with Schorr the first president. Leaders by rounds: first, Schorr 72, by one; second, Schorr 147, by five; third, Javins and Schorr, 227s. Johnny Javins, Charleston 80-78-69-75--302 I. C.

  • MAY, 1965 DIXON PORTABLE HORSESHOE COURTS 2616 49Th Street Des Moines, Iowa Dixon Portable Horseshoe Courts (Patent Pending) Are Now Available
    MAY, 1965 DIXON PORTABLE HORSESHOE COURTS 2616 49th Street Des Moines, Iowa Dixon Portable Horseshoe Courts (Patent Pending) are now available. I have received many inquiries on these courts, but have not been able to present them at a price I felt would be attractive. I have been able to purchase the rubber pads in large quantities and can pass the savings on to you. The new nylon suspension system has eliminated some cost and improves the efficiency of the rubber pad greatly. The life of these pads should be at least ten years and are guaranteed for two years. I have eliminated painting to keep the price down, so you will have to paint them to suit your own taste. Each end of the court is boxed separately and weighs approximately 38 pounds - 76 pounds for the complete court. They are available in 2" and 4" heights, and a conversion that can be c/sed to set over your present clay court. The same pad is used on all styles and is interchangeable, which means that it can be used on clay and boxed in the portable for mobility. Court Without Rubber Pad Complete Court Ready For U»e The 4" portable will give you maximum performance and can be converted to any desired height by ripping off the top side. The 2" is not as effective in holding close shoes, but will hold the ringers about the same. The convertible will be as effective as the 2" portable, but the rigid stake will not hold the ringers nearly as well.

For several years, those two matters had consumed golf analysts around the globe, but there would be little room for debate by December 1926. A year earlier, however, there was plenty of argument, especially on the first issue. Hagen had won two British Opens and finished runner-up in three attempts; he also had won the match-play championship for his class the previous two years. Jones had won a U.S. Open and finished runner-up three times in his last four attempts; he, too, had won the match-play championship for his class in 1924 and 1925.

  • The Application of State Open Meeting Laws to Email Correspondence
    2004] 719 SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED: THE APPLICATION OF STATE OPEN MEETING LAWS TO EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE John F. O’Connor and Michael J. Baratz * INTRODUCTION One of the many outgrowths of the “good government” movement of the 1950s and 1960s was the proliferation of state Sunshine laws.1 Every state in the Union has enacted Sunshine laws designed to make the inner workings of state and local government more accessible to the public at large.2 State Sunshine laws generally have two components. First, state Sunshine laws typically contain “open records” provisions that allow citi- zens and the press to inspect and/or obtain copies of certain government records.3 Second, state Sunshine laws contain “open meeting” provisions, which require state and/or local government bodies, subject to enumerated exceptions, to conduct their meetings in a manner open to the public.4 This Article concerns the scope of the open meeting aspect of state Sunshine laws. * John F.
