Frank Emmet's junior golf re-
port to the District Golf Associa-
ton included a request for support
| for a rules change. Emmett, whose
Junior golf program has been
touted by the United States Golf
Association, believes the USGA
suppresses junior golf with the
ruling that physical education in
structors lose their amateur stand
ing if they conduct golf classes.
In his opinion it is deterrent to
the spread of golf in high schools
and colleges.
He sees no reason why teachers
in public or private schools should
be declared golf professionals just
because they add golf to the ntra-
mural program. The latest exam
pie was that of Sally Carroll. an
attractive addition to the District
women's golf picture last year.
Sally resigned her Job with an
airline and wanted to teach school,
but she was advised by the USGA
THAT If she gave golf instruction
in any manner in physical educa-
ton classes, she would not be ELI
gib1e for amateur competition.
The rule doubtless was placed
| in the book to protect the pro-
tfessionals, but it appears to be a
rather ort-sighted one. Physical
educational teachers would make
pupils for the pros. instead of TAX
ing lessons from them. Emmett
wants the DGA to place the rules
change in motion, fully realizing
