JOHN GRANGER
...Has good round
John Granger Is
“Golf er Of The Week”
John Granger taught him
self to play golf nine years ago
and today he shoots in the mid
—W*-.-- --
“I decided to learn to play
golf because I thought it was a
good way to stay in good
physical condition,” Granger
said..__
Granger, 32, is the POST’s
first Golfer of the Week.
The POST will recognize a
local golfer each week.
Learning to play golf, a
game that experts say calls
for a great deal of concentra
tion, stamia and desire, began
with a trip to a local golf
course by Granger and seve
ral of his friends.
Dozens of hooks, slices, and
divots later, Granger shucked
his handicap because he was
good enough to play straight
up.
’ "Justlasi week," hooaid, "I—
shot a 84 over 18 holes at the
Tangetwood Course near Win
ston-Salem.”
Granger said he plays about
once a week, usually with
iiicnua ui ms sucn as jonn
Love, Bernard Thompson and
William Giles.

Hot Young
Kemper Open
Two of the hottest players of
the 1977 PGA Tour, Lanny
Wadkins and Larry Nelson,
will play in the 10th annual
(250,000 Kemper Open at Quail
Hollow Country Club in Char
lotte, May 30 - June 5.
Lanny, a favorite of Wake
Forest University golf fans,
is currently in 11th place for
"the season with two solo se
cond place finishes at Los
Angeles and Houston and a tie
for 4th at Doral.
The 1970 US, World and
Western Amateur Champion
has three tournament victo
ries to his credit and won over
(300 ,000 his first two years on
the tour. Lanny finished se
cond in the 1973 Kemper Open
behind winner, Tom Weiskopf.
Larry Nelson is currently
right behind Lanny in the
money standings. Although he

take him much longer. Ama
zingly, he’s only played golf
for eight years, including four
years on the tour.
This year Larry has had
four top ten finishes including
