Is brown patch control, for which
in the past they have used mercu-

facture them under the wartime re-
strictions, and the greenskeepers
searching for a substitute, have
found a new brown patch killer with

But this chemical with the queer

preventing spread of the big head

beetle out of putting green's, but
lead arsenate is hard to get.

lies, WIldUSVcI IlclllOu lllcy picACl' :
Most of them will tee the bah, since
it gives preferred lies even on those
Immediately manicured fairways
which Dick Watson grooms with all
the care fostered on an only child.
It's long step forward for one of
being taken, the Golf Committee
says, to save golf balls and the
course. On the theory that a teed
ball is easier to hit cleanly it will
save golf balls, and by the same
token will save the course, for the
divots won't fall so thickly from pre-
ferred lies. But it is long departure
from the accepted principle of golf,
which by time-honored custom pro-
hibits touching the ball from the
time it is played from the tee until
it is holed out.
Used in Chicago Area.
For months the clubs around
Chicago have played under what
they call war rules which simply
means the ball may be teed in the
fairway, both as a ball and course
saving measure. Most of the other
clubs around Washington have re-
tained the old winter" rules this
year, but for the reason that the
fairways have come along slowly
and even now are not yet in first
class shape for playing the ball as
it lies. But at Chevy Chase, where
bad lie through the fairway Is a
rarity, the war rules idea Is
radical move and good one.
1t will result in both ends sought
by the Golf Committee, and will aid
the golfers in scoring, even though
a lot of die-hards will be shocked
to find that Chevy Chase, bell
wether Of preservation of the ira
ditional rules Of golf, has taken
this long step. But those good folk
at Chevy Chase always have had
courage. They are showing it now,
and undoubtedly as soon as con-
ditions permit, they'll resume the
time honored idea of golf, playing
the ball as it lies.
Bounce Test Needed, Mcleod Says.
Freddie Mcleod, Columbia pro,
hasn't played those reprocessed
golf balls yet, but he predicts
golfers will go back to the practice
of 80 years ago and give them the
bounce test to pick out the good
ones from those which won't re-
spond so well. Fred has some of
those new spheres, marked re
processed," but he hasn't gotten
around to whacking them.
Il think we'll have to go back to
selecting our balls by the bounce
and click test" said Freddie. Be
cause the insides of those re-
processed balls aren't going to be
uniform. I mean they will be good
balls, but since they are not built
from the core out Of new rubber
some will be better than others.

Red Banagan Creates

Columbia Country Club, you have to

exercise, and many take 1t on the
golf course.
It's getting so that I've had to
make many Of my friends admirals
or generals to get 'em off the first
tee" grinned Banagan. "Priorities

Columbia is in the same boat with
ell the other golf clubs around town.
1t is overrun with golfers, with
weekday play a little less than

Banagan. Buddha of the first tee,
keeps 'em rolling with a kidding
word here, quip there and a sage
observation tossed in for good
measure.
Leave 1t Up to Red.
Unlike other clubs Columbia
doesn't 60 in for the starting time
system in busy week ends, when the
first tee and the practice green are
overrun with golfers waiting their
turn to play. Starting priorities
all are placed in the willing hands
Of the benevolent 265-pound despot
who sits in the shade of tree near
the golf shop and benevolently
w1elds the power that starts an ad-
myal or mere businessman on his
round of golf. Banagan, of course,
Is an institution at Columbia. He
happens to be known from coast
to coast, a big, good-natured Irish
man whose impartial habit Of deal
ing out handicaps. and starting
priorities has endeared him to the
men and women who play at
Columbia.
They're proud of their Red" at
Columbia, so proud that every once
in while they toss a party for the
genial Hibernian. When the men of
Columbia throw party they do it
up brown. At the last one they gave
Red" Buddha Banagan big auto
mobile. That car, right now, is his
biggest headache. He lives about a
dozen miles from the club, and al
though he picks up Freddie Mcleod
every morning and totes Freddie to
work he doesn't see how he can get
enough gasoline for his buzz-buggy
when permanent rationing comes
along. The car is big one 1t has
to be for Red is quite a chunk of
man himself and it burns a lot of
gas.
Form Notable TwoSome.
AS a golf team Banagan and Nc
Leod make up a notable duo of

dlcaps EN-, Mcleod teaches em,
Red starts 'em, and every one is
happy. Columbia is a club where
all surrounding golf moves along
smoothly and serene. And much
OF this smoothness and serenity
stems back to the savvy of the pow
ers that be. They have laid the golf
administration in the hands of Ban
agan and Mcleod. They know how,
and If they don't they can work out
q way to overcome any obstacle.
Nowadays if you hear John Nc

know that Banagan has elevated
him so he can get him off the
