BOX 3385, HILL STATION AUGUSTA, GEORGIA Members of the Military Police Association, Military Police, and Friends: IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS, April 4 through 6, International Golf Day will take place. For all golfers, scratch and dub alike, Golf Day will provide an excellent opportunity to compete against one of the foremost players of today, Jackie Burke, Jr. Of equal import however, this first international event will provide a means for the Military Police and their friends to strike a note of charitable good will all around the world. To play, an entrance fee of $1.25 has been established. The 25c pusu necessarily go to the MPA for promotional and award expenses. Our primary concern though rests with the re- maining one dollar. This dollar of your entrance fee will go to a local charity designated by the area provost marshal. Fees will be collected by the golf coordinator in your area and forwarded to the provost marshal. For those on or near military installations, the submitting of fees and distribution will be handled by your local coordinator and provost marshal. We are particularly concerned with those players who may not be in close proximity with a military installation. Foremost, we urge you to get out and play. Upon completion of your round or rounds, your entrance fees may be sent to the provost marshal listed above in your area. For example, Detective Wally Wedge in El Dorado, Texas, or Patrolman Doug Divot in Beverly Hills, California, may wish to play, but are near no military installations and don't know where to send their entrance fees. First, Messrs. Wedge and Divot, get out to your local course and fire away. Then, call your local re- cruiting office or reserve unit and they will give you the Army area under which you come. Wedge would then send his score card and fees to Colonel Harold Taylor, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and Divot would send his to Colonel Harold Davenport, Presidio of San Francisco, California. Should some question still exist as to where you would send your score and fees, then mail to Lt. Colonel Homer E. Shields, Chairman, International Golf Day, Box 3385 Hill Station, Augusta, Georgia. He will get the dollar to the proper provost. Circle the April 4 to 6 period on your calendar and when the time comes, visit your local links and take a crack at the defending Masters champion, Jack Burke. The tournament will be as successful as you make it and remember, the dollar you contribute may someday allow the bedridden, orphaned, or crippled to swing a club with you.
