Plan Now ! Qualify for And Play in... THE FIFTH ANNUAL WESTERN STATES CHAMPIONSHIPS of the WESTERN STATES GOLF ASSOCIATION San Francisco, California June 15th, 16th and 17th SHARP COURSE B A Y AREA IS YOUR HOST...YOU WILL HAVE FUN! ASSAILS SLOW PLAY!

(ED’S NOTE: Following are a few post mortems on the Paramount Golf Club Invitational Tournament in October of last year on the Balboa Municipal in San Diego, as relayed to TEE-CUP by Robert Clinton Moss. THIS IS NOT AN ILL-FITTING COULOTTE Names of players have been deleted; mention of the names would serve no useful purpose. We publish Mr. Moss’ report in the hope that golfers take the hint.) “Talked with Bob Blake, the manager of the course,” writes Moss. “His comments were the tournament as a whole was very good. There was one criticism — the slow play of our better players. Blake mentioned a foursome that took 12 minutes to make their approach shots and putt out on 18 green. This you must agree is excessive. One member of the foursome on 17th green marked his ball when he had about a 6-inch putt. He would have stood in no one’s line s by putting out. “This slow play has another effect in that many of our younger players or less accom­ plished ones will tend to copy the manner­ isms and actions of the better players which only perpetuates the thing. Another thing I would like to throw in for what it is worth is that the touring pros, while they take considerable time on the green, they really • school walk to their ball in a hurry, something our • sports • travel players do not do. “Mr. Blake also mentioned that our lead- • office off group of “B” and “A” players went • home around the course in 4 hours and 15 min­ utes whereas the championship players slowed it down to 5 hours and more.”

Pointing out that slow play is largely caus­ ed by individual players not being ready to execute shots when it is their turn, the USGA urges linksters to reach decisions quickly and execute shots promptly. It has also urged its member clubs to “do a little missionary work” in the meaning of the term “execute shots promptly.” Americ Hadley, supervisor of golf in the Los Angeles City Recreation and Park De­ partment, announces that his division has joined the crusade and has revised golf cards for municipal courses to include a “memo to golfers.” The card lists the following six rules which are designed to speed up play: 1. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Have ball, tee, and club ready; don’t fumble for them at the last minute. 2. Watch your ball; mark it by a tree, bush or other object, and go directly to it. Assist other members of your party in locat­ ing a lost ball. Signal following players through if for any reason there is a clear hole ahead. 3. Leave your bag or cart 10 feet from side of green leading to next tee. 4. Move off green, then tally score, so fol­ lowing players may play up. 5.

TEE-CUP Page Twenty-seven Junior Golf Benefit Tourney Is Successful LOS ANGELES—Judging from the en­ thusiasm of the donors of merchandise, which was matched by the enthusiasm of the players, and the resultant net proceeds which will be used to underwrite future classes of junior golfers, one must say the first benefit tournament for junior golf was a smashing success. The tournament was sponsored by the Los Angeles Community Junior Golf Association in January at Fox Hills Country Club to help raise funds for its junior golf program. Over 90 players competed in the first local amateur tournament of the year. Net pro­ ceeds were $245.00.

. . . it takes strict supervision and top-grade instructions to get young boys and girls off in the right way playing golf. It takes strict supervision because they should be taught a little more than the game of golf, itself. How to conduct their own meetings, , good sportsmanship, and honesty are some of the things.

THE LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY JUNIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION is made up of interested individuals of the community, people who care, giving their time and services free.

. . . RAISING MONEY FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTIONS, TROPHIES, GOLF CLUBS, and TOURNAMENTS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE THROUGH COMMUNITY DONATIONS.

... YOUR DONATIONS TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN PLAY. IT TELLS THEM, TOO, THAT THEY ARE LIVING IN A COMMUNITY THAT CARES.
