Cv Dec. 10, (JP The Carolina District of the Pre, feftslonal Golfers Association has a new president who has some Idess that should put Hfe Into the organisation, which lart held its chumpionshlp tournament in 1930. George Corcoran, chosen president at the annual meeting of professionals from North and South Carolina and South Central Virginia held at Pinehurat last month.

Is a pro of 18 years His brother, Fred, is P. 0. A. tournament manager. But about bis new Ideas: "Look for women pros to come into prominence when the war's he says, while directing his own class of 60 woman's college girls here this afternoon.

"There was Just a break Into the now field recently. Patty Berg. Betty Hicks and Helen Ditwller turned pro. When the war's over, others will There'll bf. a Woman's G.

A. unless we men, make arrangements to take them In." He also is looking after the dor mant Carolinas P. O. A. unit in his post-war plana.

Feur-Polnt i'regrani There's a four-point program Corcoran-haa la 1. Educational for profession als. Today many vacancies exist among the golfing, clubs in the Carolinas, and for the duration most of them are biding their time. But tbe war's over they'll he needing pros, and that's where the old P. G.

members come in. They will tearh the youngsters. Just out dY the Army or otherwise, ail the tricks or the trade, that Is. handling a golf shop, conducting tournaments, giving lessons, etc. The Carolinas P.

G. A. now bss only 28 members from the 100-odd clubs In the and that doesn't suit Corcoran. 2. Teaching beginners.

group lessons will be urged for club members, public links golfers and all other, groups. 3. Develop young golfers. Thru high schools and colleges the new leader hopes to get' many new names for the golf headlines of tomorrow. Corcoraq's classes at Woman's College here are an ex ample.

Too, he hopes a wideawake statewide high school event can be arranged. Teantasaeat Programs 4. Tournament programs. Corcoran is tournament-minded In his golring, saying that "the best medium of stimulating interest In golf Is a tournament which should be on a 12 months program." He's reviving that p. O.

A. champion ship last held In 1930. Nobody knows who won that one. Then, too, the Carolinas Open. last held f.t Burlington Country Club in 19c9, will be revived next spring.

When the war's over, there be pro-ams every month in the year, he says. He's planning in terms of the three-state district, but as for North Carolina he says: "We have one of the best golf states in the country. Statistics prove more golf rounds per capita than any other state. We have (our cham pionship tournament courses at Pinehurst, Sedgefleld, Starmojint and Blltmore. We have bad Jhe players Clayton Heather, Johnny Bulla.

Mrs, Lawson Page, Buddy Dunkelberger, Skip Alexander. Johnny Palmer, and That Palmer would have been" the rookie, of the year if the war hadn't come along. Right now he wants golfers to turn In all their old golf balls because they are badly needed In manufacturing the recaps. It's the only way golf can. be kept a-live, he thinks.

His eyes for the future are on his. four points and the women pros.
