Tommy Armour, former United
States and British open champion, is
red-hot down in Florida. An infre-
quent winter tournament player, the
pro at the swanky Boca Ration Club
recently set a new record for the

Playing in foursome with Gen.
Critchley. British promoter; P. W.
Lucas, British Walker Cup player, and

the par II course in 80 and 80. He
never went over par and bagged seven
brides. Quite round Of golf when
you consider that Boca Ration is one
OF the most heavily trapped layouts

Sounds like that dream round of

That, beyond question, was the fin

Tommy had a 7 on the Fourteenth

Nearing the age when the competi-

Tommy Armour still can stroke that
