Pros Face
Golf Ball
Shortage
JACKSONVILLE, Flu., March
7 i,f) The Scot asked tho caddie
If ho was good at finding lost
balls and the cuddle wild yes.
So the Scot replied; "Well, go
find one and we'll start playing. "
That ancient quip illustrates
the problem facing tho nation's
golfers proa and dubs alike,
says PGA tournament Manager
Fred Corcoran.
Most of tho golf Hint's being
played nowadays is with old
balls, dug from tho bottom of
water hazards, the deep rough
and clubhouse lockers and rc-
Srocesscd. No new balls are
elng manufactured.
Golfdom's "Mr. Bigs" like
Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and
Harold (Jug) McSpudcn are hav
ing their troubles the same us the
duffer, Corcoran said.
PGA President Ed Dudley is
also concerned over tho situa
tion, explaining:
"Before the war, golf balls
retailed at .$10.20 a dozen. To
day you can't buy that kind and
the ones you do get cost you $50
a dozen and up, the prico de
pending on who you get, them
from and' how much you are
willing to pay."
Some reprocessed balls are
less lively than others, but it
doesn't make much differenco
in scoring to 300-yard hitters
like Snead, who recently an
nexed the Pcnsacola Open cham
pionship with one ball.

ish and led at half time, 31 to 19.
Nick Buzolich, towering Pen
