OCAL golf professionals who are
planning to play in the Pinehurst
North and South tournament next
month are getting worried about their
golf games. 1t isn't because they don't
think they will be able to pick up where
they left off last December but because
they are afraid they won't be able to
get in any extensive practice before
the Pinehurst tournament starts.
George Diffenbaugh of Indian Spring
and Al Treder of Manor are planning
to play at Pinehurst and Witty Cox Of
kenwood is sure starter. But Witty
will have the edge on the other lads,
for he has been campaigning in warm
climates through a Winter of tourna.

the big bogie man at Washington, has

out of that one? And did Dickey's
face get crimson!
