A darkroom, while a handy addition to the photographic tool, is not essential to the successful employment of photog-raphy, provided that a local establishment will provide good and prompt developing and printing service. Indeed, in the com-plete absence of any photographic equip-ment, the need for photographs for any of the purposes outlined above can be great enough to justify employing a commercial photographer for the occasion. However, the greenkeeper should have clearly in mind just what pictures he wants, and how he wants them taken. He will find it ad-visable to discuss the whole project with the photographer before the latter gets to the course. Otherwise the photographer may go haywire on the pictorial possibili-ties of the layout and shoot off his weight in expensive 8 x 10's. Once properly briefed, he will produce valuable sugges-tions on angles and coverage.

One warning. Photography, a useful servant, has the insidious capacity to be-come a time- and money-wasting master. When the greenkeeper begins to spend more time on focuses than on fairways, more time on gadgets than on greens, then's the moment to drop the whole busi-ness. Don't give the bosses a chance to say, "Okay, Snaphappy, go peddle your pictures elsewhere!"

H E L E N M A C D O N A L D , well known Chi-cago woman golf instructor, formerly located at 406 S. State St., has opened her new golf school at 716 N. Wabash Ave., Chicago. The new loca-tion is in the center of the city's near north side golfing colony . . which adds up to a rushing business in lessons and golf equipment.

MARK-IT IS USEFUL GIMMICK —R. R McKenzie Co., 524 E. Lomita St., Glendale 5, Calif., has a new gimmick combining a device for marking a ball on a green, marking the ball for identification, a knurled section to rough up grips of clubs and a metal pick to clean mud out of grooves in club faces. It looks to be an item that should sell strong in pro shops. It retails for Si.50. The device isn't much larger than a scor-ing pencil. Touching the device to the green leaves a small spot of neutral white powder mark-ing ball location in a way that's a great improve-ment over the customary method of marking with a coin or the scratching with a wooden tee.

H O G A N FEARS STALENESS—In a feature sports article spread, Life magazine for March 24 gave a study of Ben Hogan. Life termed Hogan "The best over-all golfer since little Bobby Jones retired from competition 17 years ago". The magazine pointed out that Hogan like Jones stands 5 feet 8 inches. That Hogan's concentra-tion and judgment "pay off" is cited by Life which said that in 1946 he was the biggest money winner in golf with $42,000 and this year may hit $75,000. "But", Life added, "Hogan has one constant worry, the worry of every professional golfer. At any time, for no explainable reason, he may suddenly go stale".

SIEMS ON MIDWEST BOARD—H. B. Siems, director of research, plant food div., Swift & Co., was elected a new director to represent industry on the Midwest Region-al Turf Foundation at its annual meeting held during the Purdue short course at La-fayette, Ind.

DIEGEL AND DANTE WRITE BOOK ON "9 BAD SHOTS"

J im Dante, who's been pres., N e w Jersey P G A

5 times, and Leo Diegel, twice P G A national

champion and 4 times Canadian Open winner,

have written in collaboration w i th Len Elliott,

sports editor, Newark ( N . J . ) Evening News,

"The 9 Bad Shots of Go l f—and what to do about

them."

McGraw-Hi l l Book Co., Inc., N e w York , pub-

lish the book which sells for $2.50.

J im and Leo, conceded by pros to be 2 of the

best teachers of the game, have done a very effec-

tive job in this book. They mainta in that there

are only 9 bad shots in go l f ; slicing, hooking,

topping, smothering, pul l ing, pushing, skying,

sclaffing and shanking. Diagnosis and correction

of the causes of these 9 faults constitute the major

part of the book. The rest of the book is devoted

to the correct grip and stance, the swing, iron

play, putt ing, play in rough and traps and on un-

even lies.

Al though this book is concerned mainly with

"straightening out" the player w h o has chronic

faults it is an excellent treatise for helping play-

ers who shoot from 85 up have a clear understand-

ing of what they should do r igh t—and why—as

well as explaining the cause and cure of their

troubles. It is a book that can be tied up closely

with expert pro personal instruction as its sets

forth what almost every other pro has shared with

Diegel and Dante in the problems of getting

pupils to understand the causes of their troubles

so clearly they won't s lump into hopeless confu-

sion and discouragement.

JIMMY MILLAR DIES—James Millar, 54, for 24 years at Klinger Lake (Mich.) CC and veteran of the Scotch Black Watch in World War 1, died of a heart attack, March 24, at Sturgis (Mich.) Memorial hospital. He is survived by his widow, who was Janet Robinson Clark and came from Scotland in 1925 to be married to Jimmy, and their son, William, who was in the U. S.

He was the beloved friend and helper of thousands of golfers, amateur and pro, and one of the cheeriest, finest and most competent men in the game.

necessary than at the ordinary driving range. This illumination must be made to increase in intensity as the ball gets farther from the tee, a situation calling for a special lighting system.

Clusters of great floods totaling 90,000 watts and costing $12,000 were placed be-hind the lateral barriers at ground level. The lights are progressively more powerful as the distance increases from the tee until illumination on the ball is strongest at 200 yards. At that point the light begins to decrease.

The lateral barriers serve as protection for the lights behind them. They are con-structed of 20 gauge rabbit wire stretched on a wooden frame of two by fours, and covered with painted burlap.

The first three barriers will be lower on subsequent Hi-Ball Fairways to allow "grass cutters" to score. Fairway lights will be taken out of their bunches and spread evenly across the fairway. Two stories of concrete tee stalls and full set club-rentals are expected to double the "take" of the next Hi-Ball Fairways.

WESTERN SUMMARIZES CADDY WORK —Weste rn Go l f Assn., I l l W . Wash ing ton St.,

Chicago 2, 111., features extensive work done for

caddie encouragement, training and reward at golf

clubs by the W G A in a booklet recently issued.

The booklet also contains a record of the outstand-

ing performance of Evans scholarship caddies,

which unquestionably is among the great sub-

stantial contributions of golf to the nation. W G A

championship records also are contained in the

book. The Western again is enlisting member

clubs at annual dues of $35. Off icials of clubs are

invited to write, without obligation, to the West-

ern for the details of the organization's work for

clubs and the caddies.

LOEFFLER RESIGNS AS PRO — Emil (Du t ch ) Loeffler, for 45 years at Oakmon t CC

(Pittsburgh dist.) has resigned from pro job he's

held since 1929 but wi l l continue as gkpr. He

started with the club as a caddie and became recog-

nized as one of the top men in course condition-

ing. Loeffler and the Fownes, father and son,

have constituted one of the most successful

greenkeeper-official teams in establishing a great

reputation for a course. Dutch was wounded in

Wor l d W a r 1 and on Oakmont 's appeal the W a r

Dept. shipped h im home to mend wh i le he con-

dit ioned the course for the 1919 Nat ional Ama-

teur, which was won by the home club player

Davie Herron, who defeated Bob Jones, 5 and 4,

in the finals. Loeffler's job was such that the

U S G A issued its first commendation to a green-

keeper on condition of a course during a cham-

pionship. He is reputed to have been drawing

the highest salary of any pro in the country.

WILLIE MAGUIRE IMPROVING—Latest report on condition of W i l l i e Maguire, pro of

Houston (Tex. ) C C and treas., P G A of America,

is that the veteran is doing a grand job of fight-

ing the illness with which he was stricken sudden-

ly. He may soon be permitted to leave the

hospital.

DESIGNS NEW SCORESHEET — H. L. Davis, principal, Lafayette h igh school, Lexing-

ton, Ky., has designed a scoring sheet for com-

bined, single and 4-ball matches that is especially

convenient for league and interclub matches.

Sheets are made with plenty of room for legibility

but for easier filing and reference than the custom-

ary size. The sheets are put up in book form.

Details may be secured from Hurst Ptg. Co., Lex-

ington, Ky .
