...surefire teaser: atomic golf balls. At nearby Oak Ridge he persuaded scientists to inject three golf balls with pellets of radioactive cobalt 60, happily headed home to Gatlinburg with the fixings. On opening day last week, as Miss Gatlinburg of 1955 posed prettily on the first tee, a blindfolded caddy, toting a borrowed Geiger counter, demonstrated that a radioactive golf ball could be found no matter how deep the grass or how dense the bushes off the fairway.

Minutes after he reached the Augusta National Golf Club, Ike was out on the practice tee. In spite of intermittent rain he got in plenty of golf, including rounds with Ben Hogan and new Masters Champion Dr. Gary Middlecoff. Besides relaxing, the President last week...
