JulT 1971 Golf Pro Arrives Old Pros never die and here to enjoy the summer In Hoppncr is Goorce Duncan, a golf pro who people in Hcppner will enjoy knowing as well as tak ing lessons from. He eyed the Willow Creek Rolf course as he came Into town. He not only has made his living with golf but he con tinues eating, sleeping and playing polf. It wasn't long af ter he arrived In town that he played his first round on the local golf course. He says It Is the smallest one he's ever play i.n not the easiest by any means. He played with Mike Sweeney who torn mm neu finrf h mursp record. He's been a pro for almost 45 years. He started praying when he whs 12 years old and his first job was caddy ing at Silver City, New Mexico. In 1933 lie laid claim to hav ing the lowest score for 18 holes In the State of Idaho. He had a 57 at St. Maries. He's played golf on the lowest course, Dead's Golf Course In Death Valley and the highest course Cloudcroft in New Mex ico which is more than 10,000 feet in altitude. It was traditional that John D. Rockefeller always gave a shiny new dime to those with whom he played golf. George Diii.can received one of these dimes after playing with Mr.. Rcckefd'er at St. Augustine, Fla. He's given golf lessons to Jean Harlow and Marian Da vies at McCloud Course in Cal ifornia. ? He's played with other-name players like Dennis Morgan, Guy Klbbee, Allen Hale, Ruby Keeler and Bob Hope. . , He treasures a steel shafted golf club. It was about 1927 28 that the manufacturers ex perimented with steel shafts In stead of wood. It didn't work out and they went back to wooden shafts. The leaded weight of this favorite club compensates for a needed swing balance that George needs to overcome a childhood ax! accident It seems that his Drotner wanted him to steady a piece of wood he was splitting. When the ax, came down George was minus several toes. He is free-lancing this sum mer and will be In Heppner all summer to teach and talk golf with anyone Interested. Anyone Interested Is asked to sign the list at Central Market. He recommends eight years as a good age to start golf. A little later in the summer he hopes to give free golf sess ions to the small fry. He is so enthusiastic about his chosen sport that he would like every one to get in on the fun.
