I made three sketches, o f d i f ferent v iews, and indicated the exact specif lcat ions. Then I wro te a letter to my fr iend, V ic tor East, at Spalding's, and asked him if his company would make this club f o r me . " Jones paused for a moment and then, w i th a f a r a w a y look tn his eyes, added: " I could ge t wonder fu l distance w i th that wood but 1 found it a l i t t l e l oo treacherous when I was not exac t l y 'on the stick'. However , it taught me something about club design. La te r I began to work on my irons and got Spald ing t o make them f o r me. I haven't any idea how many they made f o r me but I do know that I had a number of their clubs fn my hag while I was p lay ing In tournaments.

" A f t e r 1 had def ini te ly retired f r om tournament p lay in the f a l l of 193(1," Bobby recounted. "1 agreed to make the gol f movie showing how I p layed certain strokes. I t was around that t ime Spalding asked me if I 'd become associated w i th them. We l l , it was sort of a 'natural ' I 'd been p lay ing their equipment, and m y relat ions w i th the company and Its people had been most pleasant f o r years.

" U s i n g my 1S30 set as a basis we worked out and developed the 'Bobby Jones' line which Spald ing is manufactur-ing and sel l ing today, a l though of course we have improved the design cont inual ly . "

As ide f r om p lay ing in formal ly e v e r y year in the Masters Tournament at Au-gusta, Ga,. where he is the president of the Augusta Nat iona l GC. Jones has stuck by his ret irement of 1830. Since 1948. when he had to undergo an operat ion f o r an old back in jury , he has been v e r y l imited In all his gol f act iv i t ies. In dis-cussing this handicap he speaks vet y f r ank l y and wi thout self consciousness.

" E v e n though I 'm not p lay ing go l f t i ght now, I 'm lucky to be act ive in several things which preserve my association w i th the game, ' ' said Bobby. "Besides the Au-gusta Club and the new Peachtree Golf Club w e have organized here in A t l an ta , as Vice President of the Spa ld ing Sales Corporat ion and a consultant on their designing. I am deeply Interested in see-ing that go l f e rs ge t clubs and balls of the finest possible design and construct ion."

self T o accomplish this f ea t , a skilled c ra f t sman employs concentrated heating, f r om a power circuit opera t ing on the same basic principle as a radio transmit-ter and yet, he does not heat any part of the head except the portion touching the Steel shaf t . Furthermore , this heat come3

" f r o m the inside ou t " and the operat ion is so quick that the heat ing e f f ec t is localized to the bonding area between the shaft and the wood head.

T o teat this wood head and steel sha f t assembly, the Spalding Research Labora-tory at Chicopee, Mass. has taken a wood club and 'shot' go l f balls a t i t w i th a f a r g reater Impact than that of the club head str ik ing the ball under any p lay ing condi-tions, A l s o they have placed a wood club In the 'whack ing machine ' and let It smack balls with terri f ic force.

separation IL was necessary to use about 2.000 pounds, or nearly one ton, of direct pulling force. To visualize what this weight would mean, seven girls, f rom the Spalding organization, stood on a plat form and were hoisted in the air, their plat-form held only by the wood head of a club, as can be seen in the photograph.

The identical wood club, used in l i f t ing the seven girls, had been tested in the Universal Testing machine shown to the le f t to see what pressure would crack the persimmon wood head. When this pres-sure had reached 10.000 pounds, or the equivalent of the head being run over by a fre ight car, a photograph was taken. When the club was removed f rom the machine and examined it was found to be in playable condition and was then used to lift the girls.

Zaun Conducts Tests On Southern Turf

Chas, W. Zaun, who has f o r the past 25 years been in the golf course and lawn equipment business in the south, is now conducting experiments with rare Ber-muda and bent grasses.

These experiments are similar to those conducted by the Tl f ton (Ga. ) Agr icul -

tural Experiment Station, as well as the Florida Experiment Station, t ry ing to de-velop better golf course greens in the south.

Zaun is also experimenting with Illahee Fescue and other grasses tn hope of find-ing a grass more suitable f o r winter golf greens than rye grass has heen in the past

These experimental plots are located next to the Zaun Equipment Co. display room. 1090 Edgewood Avenue, Jackson-ville, Fla. In the accompanying Illustra-tion Zaun is explaining some of the fine points of these grasses to A. Ft. Jackson. Supt, of the San Jose CC, The grasses in various plots are in plots 1 and 2, Zaun Bermuda, a discovery of his own which is the finest texture of Bermuda he says he has seen; in plot 1 is Zaun Bermuda and Astoria Bent seeded in f o r winter greens,

In plot 2 Is Zaun Bermuda seeded in Illa-hee Fescue for winter putting.

Plot 3, a discovery of D, A Hall of Savannah, Ga.. shows the Hall Bermuda which has been in use on the Savannah course for years. It is a very One strand of Bermuda deep rooted dense turf and practically frost resistant. This plot is seeded in Highland Bent for winter greens.

Plot 4 contains the Ti f ton Agricultural Experiment station East Lake Bermuda grass, an exceptionally fine texture of Ber-muda. This plot is seeded In Seaside Bent grass for winter putting greens.

Plot 5 is a complete seeding of Illahee Fescue with no Bermuda base Zaun says you will hear a great deal about Illahee Fescue for greens and fa i rways in the south and he is expecting some very fine results f rom this experiment.

Plot 6 contains T i f ton 57 Bermuda, also developed by the Ti f ton Station. I t is a very dense deep-rooted strand of Bermuda showing great possibilities. This plot Is seeded in rye for winter putting green surface.

Plot 7 also is T i f ton 57 Bermuda. It is seeded in Kentucky Blue Grass and Red Top for winter putting green surface.

These experimental plots have received much attention f rom golf course people. Zaun extends an invitation to all who are Interested In fine turf to visit these plots at any time. He g ives all inquirers full details of how these grasses have been eared for when and how planted, soil con-dition, ferti l ization, watering, etc..
