It's like U.S. in 1940. I love Stockholm, beauti ful, clean, modern. It was in Stockholm that Winzenried picked up another victory, de spite a bout with a cold. "Sweden and Norway very beautiful, but the weather is killing me," he wrote.

"I go caught in a cloud burst and got back to the hotel soaking wet Since then I've had one of the worst colds ever. "I didn't know if I would run in Stockholm," he added. "But as you probably I ran quite well despite illness. "All my colds run the course and I think I'm in the final stage (I hope) which is the most miserable--coughing and running nose," he wrote. In that state, Winzenried readied for the Oslo meet Aug.

THE DAILY TRIBUNE, Wisconsin Rapids Wednesday, August 12, 1970 Today's golf pros better-Sarazen CHASKA, Minn. (AP) Gene Sarazen, one of four men who have won the Big Four titles in golf, finds it difficult to compare today's game with that of 30 and 40 years ago. "They're overusing water on today's golf courses," Sarazen said in an interview. "They keep watering the courses just to make them green. "They're not aware that nature can come in and knock them out.

That's why so many of our courses turn into swamps when it rains. "It's almost impossible to compare golf today with that of yesteryear," Sarazan said in a break during his visit' to the Twin Cities and HazeUine National Golf Club, site of the 1970 U.S. Open in June. "When they say they have a course 7,000 yards long, they're lying. It's more like 8,500 yards.

Because when you overwater a course, you're losing 30 to 40 yards a shot." Sarazen, 68, figures that today's professionals are better players. "No doubt about it," he said. "They are great players. Terrif- ic power players. Jack Nicklaus is the most powerful hitter in the history of golf.

He's the first guy I've seen win the British Open without putting well. He didn't need to worry about his two putts. "If I had a game, though, between Nicklaus and Ben Hogan," Sarazen said, "I probably would take Hogan. He couldn't hit it as far as Nicklaus, but he always kept the ball in play." "I wouldn't stand a chance." Sarazen said he has played HazeUine three times and doesn't score well because of its length. Tony Jacklin won the Open June 21 by seven strokes over Dave who the many doglegs on the course and said all it needed was 80 acres of corn and some cows.

The comments resulted in a $150 fine. "He might have gone a little too far with what he said," Sarazen observed, "but you can see why some of these fellows got off on the track. There's no cuse for a sharp dogleg on that first hole. That put a bad taste I in their mouths." Sarazen himself serves as a consultant, to an English course designer. "I've been playing golf for 50 year and I am the most critical man in the world when it comes to architecture of a golf course," Sarazen said.

"I'm not capable of designing a golf course. But I can sure put the lipstick on it. "Hazeltine is one of the great courses of our time," Sarazen said. "It has some great holes. There are some holes I don't approve of but I've yet to see any golf course in the world with 18 perfect holes.

Even St. Andrews in Scotland doesn't have 18 perfect holes." FUN for Youngsters and it the GRAND RAPIDS FIREMAN'S PICNIC Sunday, Aug. 16th CALL John Huser or John Huser 424-1050 2910 W.
