...over Maysville. Verl Stinchcomb, Maysville Country Club professional, started out to play nine holes of nocturnal golf, with two club members tagging along. The flight of a golf ball cannot be followed even in full moonlight so Golfer Stinch comb had to keep his shots straight down the fairway in order to find his ball. He made a birdie and an eagle, lost no balls, finished with a nine-hole score of 35, one under...
...each of four dusky projection rooms at 1600 Broadway last week, a small group of schoolteachers, pencils poised over marking blanks in their laps, sat watching the antics of Mickey Mouse, an erupting volcano, travelogs, Bobby Jones measuring a fairway. Part of an ambitious project that has been going on since May and will continue until September, they had seen and judged by last week some 1,500 motion pictures and expect to see several hundred more.

His professional integrity, fidelity to the game of golf, and a sense of his great responsibility to employers and employes, manufacturers and clients...
Longest recorded drive in golf history is 445 yd., down hill and down wind, made by one R. C. Bliss at Herne Bay, England in 1913. At Pittsburgh last week, rules were that each contestant got three chances, only drives that stopped on the fairway counted. Contestants' only advantage was a tee elevated 150 ft. above the fairway. There was no wind, the ground was soft. Always the favorite in driving contests, bulky Jimmy Thomson of Shawnee, Pa., who can throw himself into his shot like a hockey player, was overanxious last week to substantiate his reputation...
