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.
