District Golf Courses
Now Nearing Finest
Condition Of Year
And, Oddly Enough, Mems
Journeys Lapse, but
Women Keep Busy

Local golf courses are awakening
from the summer of their discon-
tent. Unlike the classic phrase
which proclaims winter as the time
of travail the golf courses around
the Capital suffer during the sum-
mer from a plague of brown patch,
sparse grass and conditions that are
a constant headache for the men in
charge of them. But their troubles
are about over now, and for the next
two months (perhaps longer the
links layouts around the Capital
will round into their best condition
of the year. They'll stay that way
until frost and snow temporarily
kill the grass,
Greens Poor in Summer.
1t isn't any fun for the golfer who
hits a good shot 10 feet from the
pin, with a birdie putt in sight, to
have to stroke the ball over a green
dotted with alternate patches of
grass and bare spots. Yet that
condition does come in the summer
in this territory, despite the ad-
vances that have been made in
greenkeeping science The alter
native is to let heavy crop of grass
grow up, keeping a deep mat on
the putting greens. But this isn't
satisfactory either. Most golfers
don't care much about punching a
putt so hard they lose the touch"
In the spring the golf courses
around town are very good. But
they aren't as good as they become
in october, when cool nights and
warm days invite the growing of
grass. October, the best month of
the year for golf around Washing
ton, has been given the go-by by
the tournament-playing amateurs.
The reason is mystery.
Women Keep Busy.
But the women don't overlook the
fall months. They will have their
usual steady succession of Journeys
through October.
But if it isn't fun for the club
golfer to putt over bumpy green,
likewise it's no cinch for the green's
keeper to get out at dawn for
months in a row to keep those pre-
cious putting greens in shape. Yes,
he has to do that from late May to
mid-September. Brown patch can
ruin a green overnight, and the
worst time is from dawn to mid
morning, when the sun begins to
bear down. That's the reason for
the early rising. You have to lick
brown patch quickly, if you lick it
at all. But the greenskeepers' head
aches are about over for this year.
They can sit back and watch nature
work.

How would you like to be one Of

II wouldn't like it at all" he said,
mot with those four 18-hole rounds
ahead I still can feel the night
mares they used to bring me. They
still come back to haunt me-like
old ghosts. You figure almost every
putt may be the one that will beat
you. I was lucky. I happened to
hole my share. But I still remember
the day 10 years ago when Johnny
Goodman holed more than I did
and was out of the tournament at
Pebble Beach almost before it had
started.
Johnny was 3 up before I knew
what had hit me. I caught him
later but he had too much left in
the stretch"
Johnny still is on hand. He proved
the Jones match was no one-day
fluke by winning both amateur and
