FROM THE USGA

ROBERT F. DWYER, CHAIRMAN

The United States Golf Association takes particular pleasure in return­ ing to California, the most populated state in the Union, for this the 38th Amateur Public Links Championship. California's golfers have been leaders in golf for many years. The Public Links champion has been a Californian no less than 12 times and the City of Los Angeles has won the Team Championship on seven occasions. Both are records unapproached by any other state or city. On four occasions the finalists have both been residents of California. No other state has had two of its men go to the finals in the same year. Last year in Detroit, it was two Californians that played in the finals of the National Junior Championship. The USGA salutes California, its golfers and its many contributions to the game. The Department of Recreation and Parks of the City of Sacramento is providing an excellent golf course and wonderful facilities for the Cham­ pionship. The members of the host committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. Frank Freer, are to be congratulated and thanked for their success and diligence in preparing for this event. Without the services of an industrious host committee it would be impossible to stage golf championships. The scope of the labor involved is generally unappreciated, but the USGA estimates that preparations for the Public Links Championship require the services of between 40 and 50 persons who are likely to contribute more than 3,000 hours of work. In behalf of the Public Links Committee, I extend the USGA's warm welcome to every one of the 150 players here for the Championship. May the best golfer win!

6 — Great Sportsman—Long Remembered

FRANK SEYMOUR, who died April 29, 1962, helped champion the cause of Sacramento hosting the National Amateur Public Links Cham­ pionship as chairman of the City Council's Recreation and Parks Com­ mittee.

The late Frank Seymour, who served 15 years as a member of the City Council of Sacramento, is not forgotten as players from throughout the United States match strokes over the Haggin Oaks Municipal Golf Course this week in quest of the National Public Links Championship. Mr. Seymour, who served for many terms as chairman of the Council's Recreation and Parks Committee, was a real devotee of the city's golf program and its golfing facilities. It is due to the efforts of all the Frank Seymours of Sacramento that this city feels its public golf program is unex­ celled by any other in the world. ^^=^ Mr. Seymour played a leading role in Sacra­ mento's bid for the 1963 Amateur Public Links Championship of the United States Golf Associa­ tion. And, in one of his final acts as a City Coun­ cilman, Mr. Seymour presented the resolution to the Council which formally invited the USGA to stage the 1964 Public Links event in California's capital city. Through certain events which followed, Sacramento was privileged to entertain this tourna­ ment even a year earlier than Councilman Seymour had anticipated. As Mr. Seymour penned in his resolution July 7, 1960, inviting this tournament to Sacramento, "the hospitality of Sacramento residents is unex­ celled anywhere," so is it the memory of Sacra- mentans for Frank Seymour and all of those of his caliber who have gone before.

The Northern California Golf Association welcomes the players and officials in the United States Golf Association Public Links Championship to Northern California.

The NCGA is an Association of member clubs, both Public and Private, created by the member clubs for the benefit of member clubs, golf and golfers.

A single club acting by itself is ineffective in making itself heard in matters to the game of golf. The accomplishments by the NCGA through the efforts of its member clubs demonstrate the ef­ fectiveness of 157 clubs acting in the best interests of golfers and golf clubs.

The Public Links golfers are represented on the Board of Directors of the NCGA. This Association works closely with the USGA Public Links Committeeman in Northern California and each year con­ tributes to the development of Public Links Golf and the USGA Public Links Championship.

COMPETITIONS JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP JUNIOR COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEDAL PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

The Junior Championship is open to all junior golfers. It has grown to proportions which make sectional qualifying necessary.

Eligibility for the College and Intercollegiate Championships are determined by the participating schools.

Sacramento's Recreation and Park Facilities

Municipal golf facilities are but one part of a very comprehensive recreation program serving the citizens of the City of Sacramento. As far back as January 1849, when the original city was dedicated by John Augustus Sutter, ten lots of two and one-half acres each were set aside for the public use of the city and dedicated to such public purpose as future incorporated authorities determined a need from time to time. This gift was the beginning of Sacramento's park system. In 1911 when the City officials purchased Del Paso Park, acquiring at that time a total of 812 acres, the beginning of the municipal golf program was instituted. The history of the golf development in this location is prepared in a special article in­ cluded in this publication. Prior to the opening of the Haggin Oaks Course in 1932, a nine hole golf facility was established in William Land Park in 1923. In 1952 a new eighteen hole course was opened in the South section of the City and named the Bing Maloney Course in memory of the former Superintendent of Recreation. During the past eight years, two additional nine hole facilities were constructed in Del Paso Park, thus providing a total of 63 holes for the municipal golf program of this area. REG RENFREE Throughout the years, all of Sacramento's rec­ reational facilities have been well received by the In these two facilities alone, a total yearly attend­ citizens and a tremendous increase in participation ance of approximately one and one-half million has been registered from year to year, particularly persons is enjoyed each year. in the municipal golf program where the City of Another major responsibility of the Recreation Sacramento has, to date, provided the only public,, and Park Department is that of maintenance and facilities in this area.

"Hmm", murmured an observer during the final match of last month's Amateur Public Links Cham­ pionship. "I believe Dick Sikes has slowed down his pace of play." "Yes", responded a companion, "but only to the speed of sound." Sikes may or may not have played a trifle slower than he did in winning the 1961 Public Links title, but, in any event, he again proved that waste is not a necessary by-product of haste by defeating Honolulu's Hung Soo Ahn by 2 and 1 to win the 1962 Championship at the Sheridan Park Golf Course, Tonawanda, N. Y. The 22-year-old Sikes, a resident of Wichita who attends the University of Arkansas, is the cham­ pion of everyone aggrieved by the paralysis that seems to infect tournaments nowadays. Some will tell you that Sikes can play an iron shot, retrieve and replace his divot, and stride toward the green before the ball lands. In any event, it is now time to reckon Sikes among the finest of amateur golfers. To measure the extent of his accomplishments, it should be considered that the Public Links Championship has attracted a total of 4,658 entrants during 1961 and 1962 and that only one winner has emerged. Only one other player, Carl F. Kauffmann, was able to successfully defend the Public Links Cham­ pionship. He won consecutively in 1927, 1928 and Dick Sikes Lines Up A Putt 1929.

Minneapolis, Minn.—The Francis A. Gross golf course, site of the 1964 National Public Links, is located on a high glacial deposit, covering more than 150 acres. This elevation affords the golfer a pleasant skyline view of the "City of Lakes." The lush, gentle rolling fairways, narrowed by elm, ash, poplar, and pine trees, will demand much respect from the 1964 tournament players. They will be hitting slightly uphill or downhill, but nowhere will they encounter steep hills. The greens are all elevated. Lady Luck will have no place in this tournament, however. Fred Herrmann, pro-manager at Gross, said, "Without high hills, blind holes, sneaky creeks or unexpected out-of-bounds signs, the winner should emerge as the most skillful of golfers." There are 11 par 4's, 3 par 5's and 4 par 3's at Gross and Herrmann believes that the par 3's will be important in determining the winner. "If you get the par 3's you will do okey on the rest of the course," he said, "but they are real tough." Some of the holes have a premium on length and others are very short. Two of the par 5's are well over 500 yards; the longest will be about 585 yards. One of the interesting hazards to be experienced at the Francis A.

The Public Links Championship always brings Across the Street from Haggin Oaks Golf Course together a cross section of Americans for whom the trip to the site and the educational experience of mingling with so many from diversified environ­ ments is as interesting as the competition itself. A listing of some of the vocations represented by the 64 who qualified for match play confirms this Sandwiches - Lunches - Dinners cross section. There were a number of students, five salesmen, four engineers, a carpenter, a banker, a personnel manager, a fireman, a naval officer, two machinists, a baseball scout, a funeral director, an Beer on Tap — 25c auditor, a bus operator, a bartender, and a lithog­ rapher among the qualifiers. Pitcher—$1.25 The host committee, headed by Arthur R. Cole, made outstanding preparations for the Champion­ Also Mixed Drinks ship and then did everything possible to make the stay of the competitors as pleasant as possible. The USGA is indebted to Mr. Cole and his committee­ men and to the Town of Tonawanda. Interest in the community, which is a few miles from Buffalo, ran exceedingly high. Veterans of Auburn Blvd. near Fulton IV 9-7668 the USGA Publik Links Committee, some of whom have attended the tournament annually for more "Come as You Are" than 20 years, thought that the 1962 galleries were the biggest ever.
