...strokes over 1966. In the Phoenix Open, it was twelve under, as compared with six under last year; in the Tucson Open, it was 15 under, as compared with ten. Doug Sanders needed a nine-under 275 to eke out a one-stroke victory in last month's Doral Open, and when the Greater Greensboro Open reached the halfway point last week, no less than 29 golfers had sub-par scores...
...worst thing about self-indulgence is that it is so expensive. Going into the $100,000 Doral Open in Miami, Doug had not won a tournament in almost a year, and his 1967 winnings amounted to only $4,544. So he made a vow: he would not take a drink until he won a tournament or until his birth day on July 24-whichever came first. "It was," he says, "in the nature of a sacrifice." Then he went out with his spraddle-legged, short-backswing "telephone booth" stroke, and won the Doral Open itself, with a nine-under...
While CBS was moving from the ballpark to meet rival NBC at the bookshelf, NBC itself was getting more involved with sports. Last week NBC President Julian Goodman in Manhattan and Golfer Arnold Palmer in Miami (he was there for the $100,000 Doral Open) let it be known that the network would buy five of Arnie's eight companies, including the multifarious Arnold Palmer Enterprises, Inc., of which he now owns 60%.

Drive out to the Bonfire Restaurant and have a piece of their chocolate cake. It's about a foot high. Sure, nobody needs...
...plenty last week: two victories in eight days. At Pensacola, he sank a 35-ft. birdie putt on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff to beat Jack Nicklaus for the $10,000 winner's check. At the Doral Open in Miami, he fired a five-under-par 67 in the final round and picked up $11,000 more. That boosted his official 1965 winnings to $27,332, tops on the tour by $11,000 over Billy Casper. Now there was an excuse for a party. "I climbed out of the Mr. Clean bottle on Sunday," says Doug...
