DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW
The Greenkeeping Supertintendents Association of America is
in favor of elimination of sand traps and other hazards on golf
courses, thus making the game easier to play.
President Frank W. Ermer, Cleveland, President of the As
sociation, thinks that the number of players can be doubled if courses
are designed which will enable the average golfer to play 18 holes
in two and one-half hours.
Greensmen point out that the sand bunker is a British inven
tion and was introduced as an artificial hazard on golf links close
by the ocean where trees and other natural hazards did not exist.

Johnny Bulla, High Point clergyman’s son, playing with Loren
La Prade, Phoenix High school athlete, won the amateur-pro event
played at the Phoepix Country Club. Bulla had a 65, six under par.
His amateur partner had a 72 and their best ball was 60. Bulla
