Betty Jameson is another fair sports
writer. having written q golf column
for San Antonio newspaper for two
years. Because she keeps abreast Of
the news and has a fair for writing,
Betty has made more than enough
to tide her through the golf season.
Another in the writing field is Dorothy
Kirby Of Atlanta. Ga. who has been
under the guidance Of that outstanding
golf writer, O. B. Keeler.
Pull for Mrs. Hill.
Mrs. Opal s. Hill, that grand old
trouper from Kansas City, whose golf
ing career has been q long and ex-
pensive one, has done little Of every
thing in order to meet her obligations,
but her most widely known work has
been as q reporter for the Kansas
City Star. For that newspaper she
has covered many tournaments, often
sending IN daily stories, although
playing in the tournament herself.
Barely able to afford golf during the
last five years, she still has won tour
naments and held her place among
the topnotchers, her determination
along this score being one of her ad-
mirable qualities. Opal now is selling
insurance and her success is the wish
Of every golfer, for she would be
missed sadly by both competitors and
gallery were she not in competition
this summer.
Three other well-known golfers find
outside interests in junior league work.
Marion McDougal spending many days
each week in hospital at Portland,
Greg; Deborah Very working in the
children's ward Of Worcester, Mass,
and Mrs. Charles Harbaugh being an
ardent league worker in Cleveland.
All these girls are typical OF the
kind who either work to play or are
not content just to play golf without
doing something creative outside. On
the whole, women golfers do worth
while things off the golf course, there
being very few lazy women who play
the game. They are just too wide
awake to live humdrum lives.
