...player tees off and smacks the ball at an illuminated picture of a fairway, 17 feet away. Elapsed time between the sound of club on ball and the ball's impact on screen enables the computer to calculate length of drive and probable roll within five yards. One of a bank of 30 lights behind screen is activated by ball and shows on screen as ball actually landing on fairway. Player presses a button and another picture appears taken from approximate position of ball. Player squints at the flag, picks his club, and swings again. On reaching the green...
With the foursome on the first tee, Arnie's army got the drift and cheered itself hoarse as Palmer, gulping cortisone pills to ease the pain of a bursitis attack in his right shoulder, one-putted six of the first nine holes. For Nicklaus there was open hostility: he ignored it for 17 holes, and then his approach to the 18th green bounced through a sand trap. "Hold!

Detroit's American Electrical Heater Co. gave up appliances to concentrate on soldering equipment...

In the dry Dallas air, Nicklaus' drives almost soared out of sight; the day before the tournament started, he won a driving contest and set a P.G.A. record by booming a ball 341 yds. off the tee. He blasted boldly out of the dry, soft traps, handled the wiry Bermuda rough with ease. But in the end it was Nicklaus' putting that won for him. Trailing Australia's Crampton by three strokes with 18 holes to play, Nicklaus ran in an 18-ft. putt...
