BY O. B. KEELER IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL
MIAMI BILTMORE CLUB, Coral Gables, Fla.—Louise Suggs,
16-year-old schoolgirl from Lithia Springs, Ga., made such an im
pression on the golfing populace of this sector, in the Miami Biltmore
Women’s Invitation, and so many persons have asked me so many
questions about the kid, that I think I’ll just get some of the answers
out of my system right now. Because, for another reason, I think
there will be a lot said and written about Louise in golf before she is
much older.
