GREETINGS 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! ROBERT F.

OPERATED BY PACIFIC HOSTS, INC 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.
