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 Golf Course 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.” PGA Seniors to Try for 15 Gs Gaberdine (Rayon) Colors: Turq., Na­ tural, Royal, Black, Charcoal, Navy, DUNEDIN, Fla.—The PGA Seniors Championship Red, Gold, Rust.

    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

Wheeler, Howard “Butch.” (8 April 1911, Atlanta, Georgia–25 April 1968, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Having completed just elementary school, Wheeler entered the world of golf as a caddie in Atlanta. He carried clubs for Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones at Brookhaven Country Club and eventually rose to caddie master at the East Lake Golf Club before joining the black professional circuit as a touring professional. Wheeler possessed a tall, lean frame and skillfully used it to become one of the longest hitters of the golf ball ever. He claimed his first tournament victory in the 1931 Atlanta Open. Two years later, Wheeler won his first United Golf Association national championship. Throughout his long career, Wheeler added five more UGA national titles; he won for the second time in 1938, then captured three in a row from 1946-1948, and finally won again in 1958. In the midst of those national title victories, Wheeler also collected his share of minor events, such as the 1951 Joe Louis Invitational.

  • Ron Artest, Meet Charlie Sifford by Debbie Waitkus, Golf for Cause
    Ron Artest, Meet Charlie Sifford By Debbie Waitkus, Golf for Cause There’s been lots of talk over the past several days on the airwaves and around the water coolers about the mêlée at the Indiana Pacers-Detroit Pistons basketball game. We’ve seen replay after replay on television of the foul on the court and the ensuing altercation on the court and the fight in the stands with the fans. As many of you know, David Stern, the NBA Commissioner, administered some hefty fines and suspensions to the players. I’m reminded of those times my parents wanted to make an example out of me, dishing out a punishment that put the fear of death into my younger siblings’ minds. Now, I’m not suggesting that the penalties the NBA handed down to the players are unreasonable. What I do find troubling is that the players chose to cross the line – the boundary separating them from the fans. But the fans struck first, you say. A fan tossed beer onto Ron Artest. The issue is professionalism. As an athlete, you can get caught up in the moment. The adrenaline is flowing; you become invincible. Yet, professional athletes, along with a paycheck, accept a level of responsibility, a code of ethics and a rulebook. These ethics and rules apply to all professionals, athlete or not. Even a comedian being heckled doesn’t run out into the crowd and beat up the heckler(s). Unfortunately, Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O’Neal, Ben Wallace, Anthony Johnson, Reggie Miller, Chauncey Billups, Elden Campbell and Derrick Coleman all violated the rules of professional basketball.
