  • LINKS Interview with Master Putter Maker Clay Long
    LINKS Interview with Master Putter Maker Clay Long LINKS: Hello, Clay. I know that you’ve always been a keen golfer going back to your teen years, and played for your college team at Ole Miss. Do you still play quite a bit of golf? Clay Long: Yeah. I’ve been playing quite a bit. I’ve always played at least once a week. And I used to play a little bit of competitive golf, but not so much anymore. But I’ve always worked, so I’ve never been where I just played golf. I was a college player, and a decent college player, and my handicap is like plus- 2. I’m 68 and I shot my age two weeks ago. So, I can still play a little bit. LINKS: Well, I guess so. That’s pretty impressive. CL: But, you know, I loved golf, and to play golf, and to compete in golf, long before I got into the business. But I was very lucky to get into the business in the area that I did because I’ve got a degree in mechanical engineering. So that, and loving to play golf, and then getting into the side of the business where you can take off and mess around and design stuff was perfect for all my interests. LINKS: Had you been involved in making clubs or re-gripping or changing heads or anything like that before you got into the design business? Have you always been a club tinkerer? CL: Oh yes. I learned how to take them apart when I was in high school.

F. Young, Day- ton Country Club; S. E. Robison, London Country Club. Mid-Atlanti~ Association of Greenkeepers By 'Villiam E. Dunt Our association was organized in 1928 for the purpose of pro- moting better fellowship among greenkeepers in the Mid-Atlantic states and a better understanding of the science of greenkeeping so that our members might become more proficient and obtain the best results at the minimum expense. Emphasis also is placed on the training and instruction of assistant greenkeepers. During the golfing season our meetings are held on courses in the vicinity of Washing- ton and Baltimore, where problems in greenkeeping are discussed and views exchanged as to the best methods of handling these problems. Our membership consists of greenkeepers, professional-greenkeepers, assistant greenkeepers, chairmen of green committees, and others interested in the upkeep of golf courses. The membership, which numbered 14 at the time of organizing the association, has now in- creased to 33, coming mostly from the Baltimore and Washington districts. Our officers for the season of 1930 were: President, Robert Scott, Baltimore Country Club; vice-president, R. P. Hines, Manor Club; secretary, R. Giddings, Gibson Island Club; treasurer, W. E. Dunt, Sherwood Forest Golf Course. A brief resume of our meetings held in 1930 is as follows: February 10. Washington, D. C.
