Five strokes ahead of the nearest pro, Lighthorse Harry Cooper, Jones wavered after lunch, barely stayed safe. He frightened his followers by starting the last nine 4 5 5 5?two over par. On the seventeenth he lost his ball in the water hazard. Then he finished as a champion should?holed a 40-ft. uphill putt on the last green for a birdie it seemed sure he would need...
Lighter-than-air craft have frequently been downed by lightning-memorably in the National Balloon Races of 1928 when three bags were fired by bolts. Dirigibles with metal framework are less subject to the hazard, although one Zeppelin was wrecked by lightning over the North Sea during...
...build others in their home cities. The U. S. asked him to design one for a District of Columbia park. At this point a great idea came to the Master of Fairyland Inn. He patented his special greens, the name "Tom Thumb Golf." Patents for his hollow log hazard and other features are pending. Tom Thumb Golf courses became his private property, to use as he would. And he used them shrewdly. A Mr. J. P. Young of Florida, land of many real estate schemes, joined with him and they started to organize. Regional districts were created in which were...
Last week at Farnborough Aerodrome, the British Air Ministry tested a simple device to overcome the fog hazard in flying. A tethered balloon was floated 100 yds. above a 90-ft. layer of fog and one-half mile from the field. A plane was fitted with a trailing weight suspended by a few feet of wire. Approaching the hidden field, the pilot oriented himself by the known position of the balloon, put his ship into a glide of prescribed angle, leveled off when a red light on his instrument board told him the suspended weight had touched ground...

Yet many an accident has occurred because the airport was obscured by fog. This problem-to land an airplane where the pilot cannot see-has been the subject of extensive experiment with highly sensitized altimeters (TIME, Oct. 7) and with auditory radio signals. Last week in Gloucester, Mass., a new line of attack, by which the pilot "sees" the hidden field, was announced by John Hays Hammond Jr., inventor famed...
