In losing yesterday. 5-4. to Cleve

iy Hugh Fullerton
PITTSBURQH, July It (VWhen
Bobby Lock won the British Open
Oolt title and derided to stay in
England. It was Just another head
ache for Oeorge Bchnelter, although
some other golf proa may have
been relieved gchnelter la a round
faced, bespectacled, serious guy
from Utah who specialises in hand
ling headaches. He'a tournament di
rector for the PGA before he went
to England. Locke had agreed to
appear In the Inverness four-ball
matches at Toledo next week, the
Western Open and tome exhibitions
now the sponsors are complain
ing and the POA may have to take
action.
Schneiter'a theory It that the
people who put up $15,000 or to
a week for golf prises should get
their money's worth. And on pro
vision In the standard player con
tract Is that when a golfer puts
his nam on the list 30 days In
advance saying he'll definitely ap
pear In a tournament, he must live
up to that agreement "one nice
thing about golf these days." says
Oeorge. "Is that most golfers' word
la absolutely good."
The workings of the POA tour
nament bureau arent very well un
derstood, but the basic theory It
to run golf like a big business
and to protect the sponsors, ac
cording to Schnelter for Instance.
a few years ago, the big stars .
were demsndlng and getting huge !
sums as "appearance" money the i
POA decided that was unfair, so I
