(United Frei Sixwta Writer)
Richmond, Va May 25 tm Led
by the irate Sammy Snead, the
pro golfing stars complained to
day as they teed off in the annual
P. G. A. tournament that the host
Hermitage country club was "an
other miniature course" which
subjugated the championship for
profits.
'This Is just a pitch and putt
layout," snapped Snead, the West
Virginia hill-billy established as
the man to beat. "It is not a true
comoetitlve test because you hit
good shots and get nothing, ine
scramblers have .all .kinds of
chances."
It has been a constant com
plaint of the tournament-hardened
veterans for years tnat tne f. u,
A. fathers are interested only in
getting a $30,000 guarantee for
the cnampionsnip. ine course,
which should be the prime factor,
is secondary.
Can Cut Corners
"If they could get the money
they'd play it on a driving range.
ranted Vic Ghezzi of Englewood,
N. J., the 1941 king.
The Hermitage course has been
lengthened 500 yards to an ex
treme distance of 6,777 yards. It
isn t necessarily false yardage but
because of its physical features
Hermitage doesn't play anywhere
near that long. By cutting corners
most of the long-driving pros can
save as much as 100 yards on sev
eral of the holes.
Ed Dudley. P. G. A. tournament
committee chairman, was asked
by Hermitage members how he
liked the course.
"Best since Plum Hollow at De
troit," Dudley replied diplomat
Irallv. i .- .
He didn't add tnat ne was eiv-
ine them a one-year compliment.
At Norwood mils in St. uouis
last year the pros also complain
ed about the miniature course.
Lou Worsham, who had the low
practice round, estimated that the
low 64 who survive two medal
nlav rounds for the match play
starling fnaay wouia nave iu
shoot "146 or better." That
means a pair of 73's while even
at lightly-regarded Norwood Hills
it took 149.
But the real suffers on this
type of course are the long hit
ters, tne Dattie-naraenea tourna
ment veterans who can play all
the shots.
