...Your report on Franco's golf game [April 22] was incorrect. For a busy man of 73 who took up the game just four years ago, he has a fine swing. His tee shots, though not long, are straight. As far as three-putting, this happens to almost all Europeans who play the Sotogrande course for the first time because the fast bent-grass greens that Trent Jones built are new and unknown in Spain. I can vouch for the accuracy of these statements because it was I who played with General Franco that...
William Sellers runs a heating-equipment company near Philadelphia, and he plays golf for business rather than pleasure. One June day in 1964, Sellers' game was running true to format the Manufacturers Golf and Country Club in Oreland, Pa. At the third tee, his mind on a potential deal, Sellers hit the ball so awkwardly that it flew to the rear and struck one of his partners, James Walsh, sales manager of the tank division of Bethlehem Steel in Dunellen, N.J.

It took a few minutes of intense practice to adjust his stance-a matter of about one-half inch. Beaming broadly, he strode onto the first tee for next day's play-off and slammed his opening drive...
...tight match all around. Harvard's Bob Kidder and Jim Torhorst stood the 13th tee knowing that if they won, Crimson would beat both teams. Williams led in one match, 3-2, and B.C. by same score in the other...
