PUTT-PERFECTOR NEW PRACTICE DEVICE

The Putt-Perfector is a golf ball with two conical projections and a horizontal steel center rod invented by a prominent golfer who has become a remarkably good putter. The ball has to be stroked square-ly to roll with the conical projections in

horizontal balance. Failure to make pre-cise contact is made very obvious by the cones getting out of line and emphasizes the error in stroking.

Pros who have received early produc-tion of the Putt-Perfector have found it a popular, effective instruction and prac-tice device, with players buying it for indoor use at home as well as on prac-tice greens. It comes in packages of 3

with each ball's cones in colors. It should be a good Christmas gift item. It is made by Putt-Perfector, 31 N. First St., Phoe-nix, Ariz.

NEW THATCH 5POON FOR AERIFIER A special Thatch Spoon has been de-

signed by the West Point Products Corp., West Point, Pa., for use on the F - G Aerifier, G-L model, Junior G-L and G-T models for use where thatch is a greater problem than compaction. The special

spoon cuts a full circle of thatched ma-terial, has the same curve as the stand-ard Aerifier spoon and movement of the spoon beneath the surface provides "cul-tivating action" although not as thorough as with the open spoon. Reported ad-vantage in the design of the Thatch Spoon is the circle of metal at the tip of the spoon which does not clog as readily as conventional hollow tine.

The same shoe will also be available in a waterproof neolite sole out of a brown softy upper leather with an unlined back quarter to be available to retail at $15.95. These are two new shoes Stroke-Master believes "have a wonderful place in the pro shop for the coming season." Styles are in the men's line.

Baker adds: "We also are featuring a blue and white women's spiked golf ox-ford in our hand fashioned, unlined women's shoe. This shoe seems to be much in demand and its comfort giving features are unquestioned as we have sold many thousands of pairs of this type shoe in plain brown and brown and white."

Control plots are to be marked ofif where studies will be made of treatments with PMAS for crabgrass and fungus in

various stages. Other test plots will show results of use of the soil conditioner, Soiloam, and a newly formulated liquid fertilizer, Nitro-Gro.

Superintendents and club officials are invited to visit the Cleary plant and see the sod in various strains of grass and make first hand observation of tests be-ing conducted.

NEW ITEMS FEATURED IN MACGREGOR 7953 LINE

New and original items designed to give impetus to the increased market golf pro-fessionals have created in recent years will be featured in the 1953 line of the MacGregor Golf Co.

satisfactory results on the tournament tour through the past year. It will also be offered in an attractive Lizagator Util-ity Kit for Christmas sales.

The "Blended Weight" principal has been developed in MacGregor's laboratory to satisfy the professional's demand for a simple and clear way to supply balanced sets of clubs to their members.

Additional factory facilities have been added in an effort to meet the demand for MT "Eye-O-Matic" woods, which will again be featured in 1953. The companion MT irons have been refined to please golf-ers of every description, size and shape.

Both Byron Nelson and Louise Suggs lines of woods and irons have been com-pletely redesigned and will offer real values to the golf market. The Tommy

Armour Tourney irons have been also refined to meet today's trend, as have the Armour left hand irons and the J a c k Burke, J r . model for younger players.

Sales success enjoyed with the MT com-bination sets of nine irons and four woods has resulted in the Armour and Suggs Tourney models being offered in this novel merchandising unit. The boxes have been redesigned for additional strength and can be used as built-in display cases.

A Saran pattern of the authentic Mac-Gregor Plaid will be featured in the com-prehensive series of pro-only golf bags in a choice of round, keystone and P a x styles. Available also in attractive green and blue color combinations. The serv-iceable Saran will be offered for the first time in lower price brackets and in com-pletely restyled and original designs. There are also companion head covers, carryalls and shag bags to match.

MacGregor is also introducing an uniquely constructed number, the "Buggy Bag", specifically designed to be used on carts, regardless whether it is a collapsi-ble or rental type, affording protection to the bag a t points where the brackets on most car ts will cut a conventional bag.

ATCO GREENS MOWER SAYS SALES "PHENOMENAL"

A. M. Bruce, U. S. Resident representa-tive of Atco Motor Mowers, 67 Broad st., New York 4, says that the British-made Atco which was introduced to the Ameri-

can market in 1951 has had "phenomenal" sales and acceptance by supts. Bruce adds "many distributors report that they have sold more greens mowers this year than during any other year since the war ."

The Atco is made by a company with more than a century of engineering ex-perience. It was put on world markets other than U. S. in 1921 and came into the American market when the pound was devalued and its price became com-petitive.

The 20 in. Atco weighs 106 lbs., has a 9-blade Sheffield steel reel and simplified, sturdy construction for operating econo-my and uniformity.

MICHIGAN PEAT COVERING COUNTRY ON GOLF CLUBS

Michigan Peat , Inc., 267 5th ave., New York 16, has a new folder describing use of its high nitrogen peat from bogs at Capac, Mich., on golf courses from Wash-ington, D. C. to Los Angeles, and from northern U. S. to the deep south. Prom-inent supts. are quoted as having used the material in constructing new greens and reconditioning old greens. The ma-terial is being extensively used in 1 / 3 sand, 1 / 3 soil and 1 / 3 Michigan peat for top-dressing after greens are aerified and soil plugs brought up during aerification are removed. Supts. have reported very satisfactory results.
