i Play Golf for Juniors by Mike Adams
and TJ. Tomasi (Firefly Books, 144
pages, $19.95)

GOLF is onc of the fastest growing
sports in North America and junior
golf has probably seen the largest
increase.

Tiger Woods’ phenomenal
success has inspired both
young and old golfers to take
to the links. In Play Golf for
Juniors, authors Adams and
Tomasi have taken a
straightforward approach
to introducing the game to
the new golfer. The con-
cepts and explanations
they give will prove valid
for both adults and chil-

dren.

Filled with coloured
- photographs, — which
clearly lustrate the
techniques described, |
the eight chapters
cover the basics of the

c.

In the first chapter, the authors emphasize
the importance of choosing the right equip-
ment.

In the case of children, this means getting
youth sized clubs and not a set of dad’s old
clubs cut down,

“Your dad’s shoes probably don’t fit you
and neither do his clubs.”

Rules of play, the swing, the short game

and much more are covered in easy to
understand terms.
Diagrams are used to
show proper approaches
to various shots, ball
placement, hazards, etc.
A variety of simple drills
are introduced which will
help the golfer improve
steadily.
This is a book that may be
used by any golfer secking
improvement in their game.
Mom and Dad can reap the
benefits as easily as their chil-
dren. Good photographs and
clear writing combine for. a
valuable learning aid.

LOOKING to provide a
service to golf by host-
ing a tournament, Bob
Jones and Clifford
Roberts decided to hold
an annual event begin-
ning in 1934.

The final decision was made
at a meeting in New York at
the office of member W. Alton
Jones. . dth

Reberts proposed the event
be called =the Masters
Tournament, but Bob Jones
objected. thinking it too pre-

Augusta

Invitation

Tournament was adopted and

the title was used for five years

until 1939 when Jones relent-

ed and the name was officially
changed.

An early decision was
whether Jones would play or
serve as an official.

Jones preferred not to com-
pete but was persuaded by the
Club’s members to join the
field.

ments when Jones Played, 12 12

A complimentary pairing
sheet and a spectator bookler
were provided, and commer-
cialization in any form of the
tournament was limited.

The first tournament was
held March 22, 1934, and
beginning in 1940, the
Masters was scheduled each
year during the first full week

Bae first tournament was
won by Horton Smith, and in
the fall of 1934 the nines were
reversed. °

In 1935 Gene Sarazen hit
“the shot heard ‘round the
world” scoring a double eagie
on the par 5 158th hole, tying
Craig Wood and forcing a
playoff.

Sarazen won the 36-hole

playoff the following day by |

five strokes.

In 1942. Byron Nelson
defeated Ben Hogan 69-70 in
an 18-hole piayoff but then the
Masters was not played the fol-
lowing three years, 1943,
1944 and 1945, during the
war,

To assist the war effort, cat-
dle and turkeys were raised on

the Augusta National grounds.

The °50s included two vic-
tories by Ben Hogan, and the
first of four for Arnold Palmer.
Palmer’s 1958 win began the
tradition of Amen Corner.

In 1960, the Par 3 Contest
was begun, "and in 1965-1966
Jack Nicklaus became the first
Masters champion to defend
his title successfully.

During the decade of the
°70s the two founders of the
Masters Tournament passed

way.
Both Jones and Roberts left

indelible impressions on the

Masters and on the world of

golf.

The following decade: the
tournament’s youngest winner
to date was crownec when
Seve Ballesteros won in 1980,
just four days after his 23rd
birthday.

donned his sixth Green Jacket.
And in 1997, Tiger Woods
