we could do no wrong,”
commented Coach Bert

victory. Conrad Newton
answered nine toss-ups cor
rectly, while Steve Olson
contributed four correct toss-

'Hie color and the liveli
ness of Spring brought with
them one of Greensboro’s
most popular annual events,
the Greater Greensboro
Open golf tournament.
This year during the week
of March 31 - April 6,
approximately 144 golfers
teed off in the 1980 GGO
held at Forest Oaks Country
Club. As in the past, the
favorite attraction for most
students is the beginning
pro-am day. Wednesday, af
ter the &st two practice
rounds were completed, a
few pros and celebrities alike
played for fun and a little
money before the real work
began on Thursday. GGO
officials count on the pro-am
day for a large part of the
tournament profit, and so far
they have not been disap
pointed by the crowds.
Among the fifty-two celebri
ties participating Wednes
day were Evil Knievel, Er
nest Borgnine, Archie
Campbell, Fred MacMurray,
Jimmy Dean, George “Goo
ber” Lindsay, and many
more.
However, there is more
work involved than just the
golfers’ tensions. For the
caddies, this tournament
holds more work than fun.
That is, unless the golfer you
caddy for happens to be your
^husband! Jane and Bob Bet-
ley are the PGA’s only
husband/wife team at the
present. Golfing does not
usually rely on team work,
but in this case it is a must.
As Mrs. Betley said, nor
mally a caddy gets five
percent and the golfer gets
the rest of the profit, but
they avoid that split by
keeping it all in the fanuly.
Such pros as George
Bums, Andy Bean, Miller
Barber, Danny Edwards, Bill
Kratzert, Sandy Lyle, Tom
Purtzer, Curtis Strange,
Craig Stadler, and Fuzzy
Zoeller competed in final
rounds for the overall win
nings of $250,000. For these
golfers, work it was; but with
the beautiful weather this
year’s GGO may have been
the most successful ever.
Moreover, for the winner
Craig Stadler, the 1980 GGO
tournament proved to be a
success.
