The pros split the classes into three groups: beginners, those "pretty fair," and youngsters above the average in play-ing ability and experience.

To further promote golf in St. Louis many of the district's foremost pros con-tributed to a series of instruction articles that have been much better in practical and close-up instruction value than much of the dope run in newspaper golf instruc-tion series. The St. Louis pros used the words they use in actual instruction and cited instances to illustrate their points instead of talking the too-general rehash of the instruction literature already print-ed in books or magazines.

The Post-Dispatch Junior Golf clinic had the enthusiastic endorsement of parents and high school athletic authorities. It's a great stunt for local organizations of pros to suggest to newspapers that are looking for a golf promotion sports section feature.

Says P r o T r e n d Is Toward Broader Status

7\ VETERAN member and official of a noted Eastern country club expresses

his view of pro prospects. Says he: "Among the revisions of the managing

and operating plan that may be adopted to help the private clubs through the next several years is a distinct change in the usual status of the pro.

"The pro will be a golf manager in-stead of having his duties generally lim-ited to the sale of whatever lessons and merchandise he can dispose of.

"One of his jobs in that capacity will be studying the attendance of members at the club and discovering, and correct-ing, if possible, reasons for failure of members to come out and play. He will check up on playing performances of the members, and like any other successful salesman, see that the customer is making good use of the product.

"I imagine that 90% of the golf club members in this country would be pleas-antly surprised if the pro at their clubs said to them, 'I've been looking over your handicap card and your scores aren't what they should be. I wish you'd let me look you over hitting some balls. There may be some little thing that's wrong and that we can straighten out quickly. No charge. I just want to make sure you're getting your money's worth out of the club. '"

ventilated installation and prolong the life of the machine?

The four principal parts of a centrifugal pump are the housing, impeller, shafting and footvalve. Often the trouble is very simple, but the greatest trouble is caused by airlock, or leak. I remember a Chinese saying: No suckee, no pumpee—which is very true. If we check the suction side of this pump, there is often where the trouble lies. Secondly, the throat, where the impeller travels. Often this is worn, and unless it is closely inspected it will

(pass unnoticed. This can be easily repaired by drilling some small holes and tapping for cap screws, then insert a piece of Monel of fairly heavy gauge. This will increase the gallons per min. 10 to 25%.

Another place of trouble is the impeller. If it is worn excessively look for sand near the foot valve, as this should be above the sand drawing point. Now for the shafting and packing. It is a wise

stunt to pull the packing from your pump the first thing in the fall, af ter the irrigat-ing season is over. This practice elimin-ates any corrosion. Then install or over-haul the pumps last in your routine as this preserves the lubricant in the shaf t packing, thus preventing excessive heat-ing when first starting. Another point is this: repacking this type pump twice in a season adds greatly to the life of the shaf t as any sand particles lodging in the pack-ing causes an emery paper effect on the shaft .

I must not forget to mention the golf clubs' model repair shop. This is at the Denver CC. It is a pleasure to work in a well-lighted and well groomed shop. It takes time to complete the proper arrange-ment of tools, but there is a lot of satis-faction in knowing they will be where they belong when you want them. This shop, to my knowledge, is the only one in golf-dom equipped with both electric and acetylene welding, wood working machines, and engine lathe and mower conditioning equipment. And it is well lighted.

Paying Bets in Balls

Will Boost Shop Sales V l f A L L I E ROBB of Wilson Sporting ** Goods Co. is energetically pushing a

campaign to have golf bets made and paid "in balls instead of bucks."

Robb points out that this custom al-ready is highly popular in the South and should be spread for the great increase it will mean in pro-shop ball business. He urges pros to push the idea by shop dis-play signs and slips of the "gif t certifi-cate" kind, which, if signed by the losing member entitle the winner to get the ball or balls involved in the wagering, a t the pro-shop, charged to the loser's account.

Considering the amount of money that changes hands in golf bets over a week end, the "pay in balls instead of bucks" idea Robb is pushing should help pros a lot in competing with other retail and with "buy it wholesale" ball dealers.

Peter Dawson, Ltd., Glasgow, Scotland, producers

of Peter Dawson blended scotch whiskey, this year

is conducting the Peter Dawson National Ringer

Golf Tournament—an extension of the basic idea

of a regular "selected score" tournament which

makes it possible for hundreds of U. S. golf clubs

to compete, one with another (each club playing

its own course) for a handsome trophy to be

known as the Peter Dawson Trophy.

The idea of the competition, which will run for

two months, starting July 1 and extending through

August 31, is to compile a composite score of the

best 18 holes shot during that period by a given

club's entire membership, which includes, naturally,

women players. The Peter Dawson company sup-

plies each entering club with a scoreboard, size

approximately 2' x 3', to be hung in the club

foyer, pro-shop or locker-room.

Best scores as they are made for each hole are

posted on the scoreboard, so that on August 31,

the score posted represents the best individual 18

holes scored throughout the two-month period. It's

quite possible that 18 members will each contribute

a hole in compiling this composite score.

Any club with a private, permanent membership

and an 18-hoIe course of over 5,850 yards may com-

pete. Scores made by women playing from ladies'

tees shall be eligible for posting provided the ladies'

tee is not more than 60 yards ahead of the regular

tee.

Besides the special Dawson trophy, which will

be in perpetual competition, a large replica will

annually be awarded for permanent possession to

the members of the winning club who helped to

This picture of George L. Clatty was taken in 1932 at his driving range in Mt. Lebanon, (Pitts-burgh, Pa., suburb) which was one of the earlier successful ranges. George wasn't too proud to re-trieve balls. He's now running a well-patronized range on Bower Hill Road at Pittsburgh.

John Sproul, US golf ball sales mgr., who relays this picture of a pioneer driving range, says that Clatty's still buying US Driving Range balls, same as he did in 1932. Sproul also coyly mentions that US Driving Range balls are the biggest selling practice range brand in the world.
