Blue Devils Nip Clippers To Win Southeastern Title Lorry' Fovtngtr Let's use our Imagination for minute. We're standing around Ihe 18th green of a golf course awaiting the arrival of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer who are tsvo of the leaders in a $100,000 tournament. As we wait we check the large scoreboard behind (be green and gallery noticing that Gary Player, playing Just behind Arnle and Jack, haj taken a one-stroke lead. What a finish we're, about to witness here on this final green. It's only a mailer of lime, We look btck down Ihe fairway and notice the threesome approaching their shots.

The third member of the group hils the ball well but it CaiU well short of the We all look st each other with impatience covering our faces. Someone behind us says that member of the threesome wearing a EJtirl. He must have a flask in his pocket. This Is I'GA golf. What is he anyway? Some klnda nut? Now Palmer Is hitching up his trousers as only he docs.

He picks his club and booms the shot about 20 feet from Hie pin. Arnie's Army explodes with cheers. Nicklaus selects his club, a wedge as he Is only slightly under 200 yards away, and his shot 15.feel from the pin. flicklaus 1 fans explode much the way Palmer's did. Now Ihe third member hils again and Ibe shot, apparently hil with 3 wood, lands on the front edge and rolls io witliin 17 feet of Ihe cup.

The knowledge crowd applauds. By now we see our friend with the flask Is correct. This golfer is wearing a skirl or, pardon our Ignorance of ladies' fashions, No lime lo think about that. Player has lost a coupla strokes lo par and these two birdie putts could mean the tourijey and and good deal of money, The excitement Is building. The showdown is at hand.

I'amier looks over his shot. The putt ro)ls Jusl by Ihe pin as the Army groans. A possible par for Palmer and Nicklaus can win it all with his putt. The crowd awaits the fateful shot. Doris Day then slroUs unto the green to Sine up her 17- foot putt for a seven.

She misses it going by the hole about 20 feet and lines up another, and another and finaHy sinks it. She gives Jack a kiss, smiles into the television cameras and high kicks off into the scoring tent, Nicklaus misses his birdie putt. Palmer, obviously angry because he didn't get kissed, misses his par putt as does Jact and Player, playing vdlh Bill Casper and Phjilis Oilier, wins the tournament. Unbclievcable? I hope so tut Sunday's final round of lhc $90,000 Sealy championship for the LPGA makes one wonder. The fnremat of two professionals righting for eating money teamed with an amateur who happens to be a celebrity teems to me, and some other golf fant, to be out line.

If a tournament wants a pro-am fine. But not on the final' round of a nationally televised event. doetn't seem to the golfers, viewers or fans. I would assume this trick Is tried in hopes of getting a larger gallery. If people won't turn out to tee men or women play golf they won't come running to Me Glen Campbell or Dean Martin or Joey Bltbop play the game.

That was proven Sunday by the of gallery for the LPGA event, Come on people. Let the women play golf, They're good players and. if enough people watch ibem often enough, the gaueriet will fill up without the UM of gimmicks. P.S. I hope Doris, Jack, Amie, Billy, Gary and Phyfils will forgive us for using them to illustrate thit obviously ludicrous tltuation.
