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.
