Spiro T. Agnew, golfer, announced yesterday that he will once again enter the Bob Hope Desert Classic in Palm Springs, although his achievements have, in the past, been somewhat less than illustrious there. Agnew has played twice, maiming four people with tee shots. Pro golfer Doug Sanders, bloodied in 1970 by an Agnew drive, bemoaned "I was standing in the fairway--I thought I'd be safe there."

LARRY HINSON, 26, a string-bean-lean blond from Douglas, Ga., won the 1966 N.C.A.A. golf title while a senior at East Tennessee State. Though his left arm is slightly withered from a boyhood bout with polio, he is solidly accurate from tee to green. In 1969, his first full year on the tour, he won $54,267. Last season he pocketed $120,897 and was the eighth-highest scorer on the tour. "I want to win the big four -our Open, the British Open, the P.G.A. and the Masters-then I'll retire. I know what that sounds...
