...Association championships will tell you they're used to the stares. But keep looking, and you'll find some of the most inspiring play on the planet. Golf is frustrating enough with two arms. "Having one arm is difficult for balance, hard for timing and hard for getting the clubhead in the right spot at impact," says Mike Altman, head pro at Stallion Mountain Country Club in Las Vegas, which hosted the one-armed players' tournament. "And these guys do it for 18 holes. It's mind-blowing...
...McPhee's case, the problem was in his torso. After studying the results of his physical evaluation and a computer-generated chart showing how he transferred energy from his hips to his torso and then to his arms and eventually the clubhead, TPI found that because of his tight upper back, all the power he was generating in his lower body was being frittered away when it reached his torso. The solution? A shorter backswing that would allow him to compensate for his torso stiffness and maintain the power generated by his hips. "It was like a lightbulb turned...
...record. The tricky course seemed made to order for her careful game. But Patty figured to have trouble with Georgia's own Louise Suggs, 32, current president of the L.P.G.A. and a trim perfectionist on the fairways.

Northmore snapped a series of Golfer Al Watrous getting out of a sand trap, the prints plainly showing the clubhead traveling ahead of the ball after the impact. Last fortnight at University of Detroit Stadium his "Magic Eye" followed Pole-Vaulter Walter Simmons over the bar (see cut). Last week the Times played up his shots of Socialite Mary Mitchell playing tennis, lions brawling in the Detroit...
...pebble into a crevice with his crook, golfers have been eager to improve their implements. They had reason to feel pleased last week when the U. S. Golf Association, meeting in Manhattan, sanctioned two-piece golf clubs with readily mountable shafts which can be screwed out of one clubhead and into another at a moment's notice.* Brought out by Donaldson Manufacturing Co. of Glasgow, such clubs make it possible to play without a caddy, by carrying one shaft and a small container of clubheads. Practically, they are less for thrift than for convenience. If he breaks a favorite...
