...that he might get a hole-in-one. Nevertheless, after a swing a little smoother and a click a little firmer than usual, the ball soared straight to the apron of the green, rolled between two hummocks true to the pin and, with a little plop inaudible from the tee, went in. If the Prince was surprised, he was also justly proud. It was his second hole-in-one this season. The other went in on the Sao Vicente course in Brazil during his Empire Trade Tour. The Prince plays an 85-10-90 game. He uses Walter Hagen clubs...
...more than 250 came for the unprecedented second 36-hole play-off the next day. Burke played an erratic round, his first, in the morning, but Von Elm was shaky too. They had 77 and 76. In the afternoon, both played beautifully. When they came to the 36th tee, Burke was two strokes ahead. He hit his ap proach too hard and it scampered across the low platform of the green 15 feet beyond the hole. Von Elm's ball went a foot further.

...safe way to play the 17th was to use an iron from the tee and play between two bends of the brook that crossed the fairway.

On the long 18th he still had a chance to tie, if his second was on the green, or if he played his second short, got a good chip shot and sank his first putt. Jurado was cautious again...
Cinema contracts prevented Golfer Robert Tyre Jones Jr. from going to England to defend his British Amateur championship last week. But there was a curiously neat compensation. Ready on the first tee of the Westward Ho! course at starting time was another U. S. celebrity even more famed & popular than Golfer Jones. A brownish, stocky little man, he attracted an unprecedented swarm of autograph hunters. A dozen ladies were so anxious to have their children see him play that they pushed perambulators after him over five miles of gently undulating Devonshire. British golf critics agreed that his swing was good...
