...golf to new heights last month, he claimed one of his private moon shots-unhindered by any air or much gravity-went "miles and miles." Ha! says Dr. Gordon Swann of the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied the photographs and sees a ball about 20 yards from the tee-off point. "Around the moon-plus 20 yards," cracks Shepard. But the ball in the photo was not the "miles-and-miles" shot anyway, he adds; that one, he re-estimates, went about 400 yards-"not bad for a six-iron...
Spiro T. Agnew is a tough man to upstage-even on a golf course. True to form, the Vice President stole Act I at the $140,000 Bob Hope Desert Classic in Palm Springs with a dramatic pair of tee shots, both of which sliced into the gallery, causing something of a stir. But the closing curtain and encore went to an equally renowned performer: Arnold Palmer. In the kind of cliffhanging finish for which he is famous, Palmer coolly rammed home an 18-ft. putt on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off last week to defeat...

As Scammon puts it: "Workers now aren't concerned about Taft-Hartley; they're concerned about crabgrass." Along with crabgrass, ironically, come many of the problems...
...native of Scunthorpe, England, who spent his youth hacking through heather and gorse, Jacklin felt right at home with the winds and wiles of Hazeltine. He was in trouble only twice, both times on the wicked 17th hole-a crooked par four that called for an iron off the tee and swim fins to reach a green surrounded by two ponds. Twice Tony drove wildly into the deep rough; twice he boldly punched out of the trees and hit the green. Jacklin's 281 total bested Runner-Up Hill by seven strokes -the widest winning margin in 49 years...
