...exactly noted for their sense of humor. But last week Tiffany thought it was time for a gentle chuckle and a quiet spoof on those for-the-man-who-has-everything presents. Into the Wall Street Journal went a straight-faced Tiffany ad illustrating a golf putter with a head of 14-karat gold. Price: $1,475. At the bottom of the ad, in the best Wall Street tradition, Tiffany added a line similar to those that appear on security-offering notices: "This advertisement appears for the record only, as the entire stock has been sold...

Even though his cold hung on, the President got out on the Augusta course for a few more rounds of golf before returning to Washington. He showed that neither cold nor rain nor flu nor bronchitis could stay his hand, sank a 20-ft. putt with the custom putter (a duplicate of Bobby Jones's celebrated "Calamity Jane") that White House correspondents had given him early last month.

In Avery's time the projections all went down; now all the lines go sharply...

Waiting for the President's plane at Palm Springs were red-faced official greeters: as Ike came down the ramp, windblown sand-not brassy sun-tingled his face, forcing him to bend almost double to avoid the sting. Spirits lifted as the President received a brass putter, welcoming gift from the city fathers of the "Winter Golf Capital of the World" (pop. 15,000). Grinning, Ike brandished the putter, climbed aboard a helicopter to fly 14 air miles to the hastily spruced-up Allen home. The housekeeper, Mrs. Emmet Reed, had opened the three-bedroom stucco bungalow...

...grassed bunker. Normally, the ball would have rolled in, but in the dampening grass it stopped inches away. Nicklaus conferred briefly with 16-year-old Caddy Bob Valdes ("Best greens reader we've got," said Club Pro Ed Dudley). Then Nicklaus took his new putter and sank his eight-footer for a birdie three and the U.S. Amateur. New Champion Nicklaus was the youngest player to win the title in half a century...
