Speaking
Of Golf
By JOE KAPLER
The climax to the 1963 Caro
linas Section PGA champion
ship was written Sunday e* Fur
man Hayes of Gastonia shot a
steady round of TO to edge
Avery Beck of Whispering
Pines fey one shot 'for the title
o+*t the short but demanding
New Bern Golf 4 Country Club
course.
Par four days, professionals
from all ever North and South
Carolina were busy trying to
win their share of the prize
money under almost perfect
conditions weather wise. The
only complaint may have been
on the wind which was rather
gusty most of the time but the
pros were so glad to see some
warm sunshine they overlooked
the wind.
Charlie Farlow and myself
teamed up in the Pro-Pro
championship for a best ball of
67 good for seventh place
money. We had an excellent
chance of winning and though
we putted good, the ball just
wouldn't fall for us. Joe Cheves
was to have been my partner
but illness prevented him from
making the trip.
My play during the champion
ship proper wasn't too bad con
sidering and my putting was
exrellent. At the end of twenty
six holes I was only one shot
behind the leader but five
double bogeys during the re
gaining holes really finished
me off. Three of these came as
a result of almost perfectly hit
shots that turned sour fur one
reason or another.
Our fine championship was
climaxed by a hole In one con
test put on by the sponsoring
E-Z-GO Car Company, with the
prize being an electric cart.
Bob Becknell was the skillful
winner as his last of three shots
at the 140 yard hole was in all
the' way, ? truly perfect golf
shot. A couple hundred specta
tor! including myself were
lucky enough to be watching as
Becknell holed out. My closest
shot was aix feet and until Bob
came along, N. C. Riddle who
was the first maa to have a try
at it, waa close with a shot of
23 and 34 inches.
Local golfers are starting to
get restless as the first of April
gets closer and closer. This
means of course, that we can
hope to be playing in Boone in
just a few more short weeks.
At present, the groudd is very
soft when it thaws but with
some good rain and drying
winds to settle and dry it out,
we should be able to depend on
playing our course no later
than the middle of April.
Meantime some of our play
ers continue to make the jour
ney down the mountain to play.
Guy Hunt, Richard Kelley and
Jack Cobb from Boone and An
drew Yasinaac of Sparta made
a three day tour last week,
playing at Fort Bragg and Tan
glewood. They stopped at Pine
hurst but were unable to get a
suitable starting time so didn't
play there. Estel Wagner and
J. D. Cook played the new
Cedarwood course outside of
Charlotte the other day with
Estel shooting an 82 and J. D.
an 89.
Playing permits for the 1963
season are now being sold and
anyone interested should con
tact either myself or Major Tho
mas. The rates are unchanged
and as follows: For family, first
member $90, second $48, all the
rest $30 each. The present per
mits will expire on April 30th.
Anyone buying one for the first
ti*ie will have the use of the
course from the date of pur
chase, or as soon as we open.
