Speaking Of Golf
By JOE MAPLK8
Heavy rains during the pact
week did some damage to several
greens we were nuking repairs
on. Some of
the new top
toil we were
filling old
washes with
washed out.
These places
will have to be
re-worked and
MAPLES of course this
is going to delay the healing pro
cess somewhat, but we are in
hopes that it won't cause any de
lay in the opening of the course.
While waiting for opening day,
local golfers are carrying on with
their games at Linville and Blow
ing Rock. These two course* are
rapidly becoming in excellent con
dition and they are looking for
ward to their best seasons yet.
Gene Staut, pro at Linville, is
cxpceted around the first week in
June. Roy Tinsley at Blowing Rock
has been in town since early April
working hard to get his course in
good shape. It's possibly in the
best condition it's been in, thanks
to Roy's tireless efforts.
Glenn Wilcox, one of Boone's
more active golfers is playing the
best golf of his life at the present
time. He's had several rounds in
the 70's recently, and got most of
the local players on the run.
Horace Dowling, one of Boone's
better golfers, has been in some
what of a slump lately, but it won't
last long. We all have these
things and Horace is working hard
at getting out of his. He is prob
ably the best putter in town and
when his other shots are going well
he is hard to beat.
Jerry Coe has been fighting an
awful "duck hook" recently, but
Sunday he seemed to have gotten
the best of that monster.
Rapid progress is being made -on
the Golf Shop and locker rooms at
the Boom Qotf Club. The r?of wiH
be completed this week with th?
finishing touches following close
behind. We expect to have the
shop open several days before the
course.
A complete line of golf equip
ment will be carried, featuring a
wide variety, from good economy
clubs to the best you can taqr.
Unknown to most people is the
fact that a set of golf clubs should
fit him or her her just like a suit
of clothes or a pair of shoes. Diff
erent people are different sizes,
therefore requiring different size
suits. A man buys a coat with a
certain length sleeve. Likewise, a
lady buys a shoe with a certain
width.
The same applies to golf clubs.
There are a wide variety of lertgths, i
weights, shaft flexibilities, grip
sizes and balances available in golf
clubs. These varieties are avail
able to fit short people, tall peo
ple, strong people, heavyweights
and lightweights. I
A club suitable for a small light
weight person naturally is not suit
ed for a large person.
To get the most out of the
game, a person should have clubs
fitted to him or her by their golf
professional. He is the only man
selling golf equipment who is qual
ified through training and exper
ience to fit a person with a set of
golf clubs.
Buying through a pro is no mere
expensive than any other outlet
selling clubs, and in most cases you
get service not otherwise furnish
ed, in addition to having dubs yon
can have the uppermost confidence
in.
In closing, let me say it la a
pleasure being in Boone and being
associated wtth the new golf dub.
I am looking forward to being of
service to every person who plays
golf in Boone.

Sports Comments
By PETE FRITCHIE
Washington, D. C.? Recent de
velopment! in the Major League
should not convince any baseball
fan that the racea in either Major
League are ever. Indeed, the Major
League season includes some 180
games, approximately, and this
means thai the races are seldom
decided More the last month or
six weeks of the season.
A classic example of the tempta
tion to write off teams occurred in
the American Leigue In the first
two weeks of the season. Bath the
New York Yankees and tht Detroit
Tigers seemed mired in the win
less column, especially Detroit.
Ironically, New York had been
picked to be a contender, some
even thinking they would finish
second.
'in the weeks following the open
ing two weeks of the season, De
troit has indicated it might fleid
I decent team, after all, uflder a
new manager, and in recent days
the New York Yankees have in
dicated they might not lie down
and play dead ? aa some had con
cluded. To be true, most wise base
ball men did not count the Yankees
out at any tiaae, but some tana
were inclined to write the Yankees
off as hiving -had it."
On tht contrary, we believe the
I A.
Yankees will be the team to beat
in the American League, and that
by July, or at the la teat, early
August, they will be either at the
top of tin League, or threatening,
if Ml sooner. We mak* thU pre
dict MM keeping in mini the (act
thrt baseball Is a game which is
playtd ever a six month season. A
lot en happen in such ? long
period of time.
?V In fact. It is not Inconceivable
that Detroit, which won only two
ganW out if its first sixteen, or
something like that, could wind up
lb the AM division, or Ml as ?
dutltnger. tinder their Mew tnan
ager, JimMy Dykes, the Tigers
have improved their record con
sistently, percentagewise, and ter
rible as the Tigers' start was, it
is not inconceivable that they
should wind up in the first division,
or among the leading teams.
In the Nstional League, the Cin
cinnati Reds have emerged with
enough pitching to defeat the Mil
waukee Braves occasionally, and
this is a new development. The
race in the National League, which
is traditionally close, could be high
ly interesting this year.
It might involve Milwaukee, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Cincinnati
and Pittsburg. If this is the case,
it will make far as interesting Ma
