larry to juniors or the beginner
golfers. They're getting results.

faster play noticeable on week
ends. The members enjoy hav-

When you're all even with one
hole to 60 for that dollar nassau
today. and your knees begin to
shake a little. it might help to
think that George S. May again
has announced his Tam
O'Shanter golf tournaments will
be played for $4,000 in prizes.
AS Dutch Harrison said when
the Chicago golf promoter and
business executive announced
his fabulous prize list for last
years tournament, May has
reached the choking price of
just about every golf pro.
First prize in the mems pro-
fessional section of the world
championship this year will be
100000. That's $4,000 in CASH
$1,000 caddy fee. and contract
for a minimum of SIS exhibitions
at $1,000 each, plus transporta-
ton and expenses. There's also
an option of SO additional ex-
hibitions at $1,000 each.
Bob Toski. last years winner,
pocketed $4,000 in cash with
that sreat finish that nosed out
Earl Stewart. He signed for IS
exhibitions at $1,000 each. and
at the Masters last month had
played 80 of them. with 80 to 60
It appears the pressure of the
exhibitions and the absence from
tournament golf has affected
Toski's game. He finished far
back in the Masters, out of the
money at Virginia Beach. But
it Is consoling to know he can
play seven of those exhibitions
and make as much as he would
by winning both the Masters
and the Virginia Beach Opens.
Manor Country Club has
come up with something brand
new in Scorecards, a three fold
card on heavy, glossy paper that
features a color picture on the
front cover of a huge tree, the
manor pine" that guards the
18th green.
There are four sketches by
Cartoonist Glib Crockett, plus a
photograph of the old clubhouse
and a history of the club, plus
all the standard information a
scorecard should contain. All
this on a card that fits the
pocket.
It was Lee Ritter's idea and
was carried out under his di-
rection. It met with tremendous
response at the annual meet
ing the other night, and is a
cinch to be copied nationally.

There was improvement in last
weeks predictions on the Mary
land State Golf Associations
team championship - six right
and two wrong, and one of those
just missed was the Bethesda
Prince Georges tie in which Be-
thesda. our choice. lost the play
off. The other selection that
backflred was Rolling Roads de-
feat at the hands of Hillendale.
In today's quarter finals, Con-
gressional is the choice over
VFW Club of Frederick. We'd
like to pick Woodmont over Hill
endale, but believe the Baltimore
club will take this one. Hillen-
dale has a 7,000-plus yard course,
less than a year old. and will
stretch it to the utmost for the
Woodmont members. who arc
not used to playing a layout that
long. Woodmont should have a
slight edge at home but its losses
in Baltimore figure to be too
much to overcome.
There is a temptation to pick
Chevy Chase in a whopping up
set over the Country Club of
Maryland. but the temptation is
put aside. Chevy Chase will have
a couple of regulars absent and
will be meeting IL good golfers.
It's the Country Club of Mary
land in this one. and Prince
Georges over Fort Meade.
