Taylor (Red) Maulding, greens superintendent, and his staff have the Medford links in prime condition for the event as evi denced by the remarks of Crea son, participant whose home course is most distant, and Clark, the SWO champ. Creason, in Oregon to visit his mother at Brookings, termed the RV layout the most beautiful he has seen in a couple of years. He played over the old RVCC route in 1952. Clark, Grants Pass resident, said MEDFORDvwTRIBUNE SIPdDIRTrS that the soft,' lush greens hold the ball good and that the course is in the top of condition. Club officers and the manage ment both have praised the tour ney committees headed by Ray Mencke, general chairman, and Bill Thorndike, co-chairman, for their organization, cooperation and coordination to insure the success of the 28th annual play ing of the tourney. Clayton Lewis, RVCC presi dent, pointed out how committee planning has come up with an effective means whereby the Southern Oregon tourney may be recognized as the one in the northwest producing the com bination of the "best golf and the most fun. Getchell Not Playing This has been achieved in part by fact that some men players will rest on Thursday, others on Friday and the women on Sat urday, enabling participants to play good golf and not tire and at the same time relieving traffic on the' links. Also, no effort has been made to toughen the course. The course is "wide open," Lewis remarked. The staff has not let the rough grow. It is felt that the 6,688-foot length of the course and the tricky greens still will make a good test of golf. The management feels that the 1956 event may prove the best in overall operation and mechanics.
