The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-02

With the well-known Sarazen flair for the unique, the toughest golfer of them all, is acquiring ad- ditional flint and steel through the medium of a 20.000-mile barn. storming tour of the eastern half of the United States upon which and Joe Kirllwood, the Australian trick shot artist, embarked from Atlanta, Ga, on April 29. No or dinary motorists, either, the boys are making the jaunt in the deep Luxury of an aerocar or deluxe au- tomobile trailer which, together with the chauffer, they borrowed from Col. Henry l.. Doherty. the New York financier and engineer, and who as president of the Flor ida Year Round Clubs. proved to be golf's greatest angel during the last year.
 Right Idea
 You can hardly blame Sarazen If he feels need for a rigid train ing schedule. With two great golf crowns to defend the first part of the summer, the year 1933 Is scheduled to be the most difficult of his entire career. That's why he's mapped out 10000 mile iunket which will keep him play ing every day, and each day on q different course under different circumstances.
 From the deep south, from At lanta, Birmingham, NashV1lle, Knoxville, Charlotte, White Sul- phur Springs, Richmond, points in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and New England, Sarazen will head westward for Chicago where he faces his first real battle. the L., s. Open at the North Shore Country Club. June S-10. From Chicago he will start for England where he will play in the Ryder Cup matches. June 26-27. and m the British open, July 3-S. He plans to return from abroad about the middle of July and to continue his tour until about october l when he will again head south ward for the winter at the Miami Biltmore Countrt Club where he is chief of the pro staff. Kirkwood who recently won the North and South Open at Pinehurst with PTS will accompany Sarazen to England. On the tour here Joe will give exhibitions of his trick work and engage in competition also.
 Figured Out
 According to Genes present plans he hopes to get 5000 miles of the hardening and toughening process under his belt before the big open tournaments. By the time of the Chicago competition he expects to have played Bobby Jones. Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford, former national amateur champions, and a long list of other worthy foemen.
 The aerocar in which Sarazen and Kirkwood-who are teamed together for the first time in thelr careers-are making the trip is yeritable hotel on wheels and they arc using it as such. A huge. ma room colored parlor car, almost te size of transcontinental bus, the aerocar offers four pullman berths, radio. an electric stove, shower bath. refrigerator. observation COCK pits fore and aft, desks, type writers, a dictaphone and all the comforts of home. The car, or a type designed by the late Glenn Curtiss of airplane fame, IS drawn by a regulation automobile ana derives its name from the ease with which it rides due to pa tented coupling device. Col. Do- herty who had a fleet of aerocars built for use of the Year-Round Club members personally super, yised the design of the palatial private car he has loaned Sarazen - loan made in recognition or Gene's work at the Miami Blltmore Country Club last winter.
