GOLF MEMORABILIA FINDS A HOME IN PINEHURST

Back in the 1935 Masters ’Tournament, Gene Sarazen varte his name in the sports history books when he cracked a four wood shot straight at the flag on Augusta's 15th hole and watched the shot drop for a double-eagle. The shot sent the tournament into a playoff v hich Sarazen won. During the 1950 s and early 19605. the United Slates saw the game of golf blossom into an epidemic among leisuretime fanatics. Arnold Palmer was instrumental in the ‘ disease" but it was none other than the President of the United States. Dwight I). * '3 t EisenlpW^r. who captured the imagination of the people with his need to relax and think while .playing golf. Ike had a fex^^e pair of shoes and 3 five star putter hot one of his most cherished pieces of golfing equipment was a specially outfitted golf cart, complete with headlights. These and many other pieces of memorabilia have played an important role in America’s history, especially its golfing history. "Wouldn’t it be nice,” you say, "if all this memorabilia were rounded up and put somewhere so every body could sea it?" No more need be said. 1 The wish is now a reality at the $2.5 million World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, N.C. where it v. ill open in September during North Carolina'^ "Grand Week of Golf”’and the $300,000 World ; Open Golf Championship, the professional tour's richest exent, ‘ • V

The culmination of a vision of William H. Maurer, President of Diamondhead Corp., the Golf Hall of Fame traces the history of one of the world’s most ardent pastimes. Included in the exhibits at the World Golf Hall off Fame will be such unique items as an unstruck feather ball made by Alian Robertson in 1835. a "rut" iron used in the 1700 s, a wicker arrow basket used in lieu of a golf bag in the late 1800 s, and a club maker's bench used in Pinehurst in the early 1900 s. The most recent addition to the Hall is the club collection of Laurence Auchterlonie. the Honorary Professional to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews, Scotland, the home of golf. Included in this group of artifacts are six clubs made by six generations of the famous McEwan family and six clubs made by the only six club-makers in the world in 1850 — Jackson, *)unn. Davidson, Philip, Patrick and McEwan. Perhaps the oldest pieces of memorabilia in the Hall of Fame will be a play club and putter made by H. Milne in 1690, The unusual and unique will also be featured. For example, on disnlay will be a club with a hole in the head a little smaller than the size of a golf b ill for cutting down on resistance in water hazards. And then there's the rake-head club fur getting out of sandtraps. These clubs are obviously illegal today, but that will nqt diminish their magnetism as curiosity items. Twelve of the greatest players of the game of golf also will be inducted into the , World Golf Hal! of Fame in September and their identities will become known after votes are cast by members cf th? Golf Writers Association of America. More information regarding the World Golf Hall of Fame may be obtained by writing the World Golf Hall of Fame, Pinehurst, N.C. 28374.
