'Large attendance at the Texas-Okla. Turf Conference in November attests to the fine progressmade in short time by the two state groups since joining forces for the comparative. study ofcommon problems and the development of' maintenance practices of mutual interest to each.

The '49 meeting was unusual in interest shown and participation by officials present.

Texas-Okla. TurfSets NeVI High

Conference•I~nInterest

By JOHN R. HENRY

The annual joint Texas-Oklahoma TurfAssociations' meeting, Tulsa Hotel, Nov.28-S0 drew 150 greenkeepers, pros, clubofficials and turf supply men, many fromremote distances beyond the host states.Its interest, inforrpation and discussionsmarked it as the most progressive jointmeeting in years. Fred Grau, USGAGreens director, O. J. Noer and HowardSprague,. Tex. Research director, spear-headed the talks and handled the questionand answer sessions, with the active co-operation of other turf experts, includingagronomists from Tex. A&M College andOkla. A&M College.

Following the welcome by pres. C. I.Pontius of U. of Texas, Marion Askew, vp,Okla. PGA, served as chairman the firstday introducing Ralph Plummer, Ft.Worth golf architect, who spoke on theconstruction of bent grass greens. Plum-mer stressed the importance of ample'drainage and soil of good physical proper-ties that would not puddle or become sod-bound. Prof. R. C. Potts, Tex. A&M, toldof 100 different strains, collected by A. W.Crain of their agronomy department, nowgrowing in turf plots at College Station,Tex. From greens and fairways through-out the state samples of fine-textured Ber-muda were planted in two plots of each

64

strain. One plot was mowed at fairwayheight, the other at green height. Fromthese plots they hope to develop a fine-texture Bermuda that will not becomegrainy or coarse in the fall. It is difficultto distinguish some of the more promisingstrains from bent. Tifton 57 Bermuda and

S Zoysia japonica also are under extensiveexperiment.

Dr. H. F. Murphy, agronomy dept., Okla.A&M, reported considerable work at Stil-water on bent and blue-grass strains andthe study of physical properties of soilworking toward an ideal mixture for bentgrass greens. Biss Garman, Okla. A&Magronomist also collected about 100 grasssamples throughout Okla., which now areunder observation in field plots pointingtoward selection of most promising plantsfor use in producing seed for commercialuse.

Sterilizing Soil for Weed ControlProf. W. C. Elder, agronomist, Okla.

, A&M, discussed soil sterilization for weedcontrol, mentioning table salt, sodium ar-senite and borax as permanent sterlizingagents that keep soil void of plant growth.They put a high concentration of mineralsalts in the soil making it impossible forthe plant roots to absorb sufficient water

Snead told of starting cross-handed andbeing slapped out of that by an olderbrother. Sam said he didn't get much ofan early chance to fashion his style onthe stars but when he began to get aroundhe learned quick.

He said he'd had a lot of trouble earlygetting the ball up into the air. He hadto use a' spoon off the tee. He learnedthe right way by addressing the ball withthe clubface in position he wanted it atimpact, then lifting the club straight upin front of him, cocking his wrists so theshaft fell back over his' head, and thenmaking his body turn. By noting howhis wrists were then at the' top of thebackswing he discovered that faulty wristaction due to a bad grip had been the

he was playing which he defined as "themost simplest way" he knew.

Snead said that when fellows blow-upin tournaments it's because they becomevictims of experimental and interruptingmannerisms and lose their concentration.Sam's "concentration," he explained.. con;sists of not thinking. He advocated- a-finger and palm grip with fingers- of theleft hand in control. Too much grip-cinthe fingers, 'he warned, would dJrni-nish_power.

He credited Victor East with improv-ing his putting by changing him from-being a wrist putter to an arm and wristputter and said that Vic Ghezzi alsohad helped him acquire his present profit-able putting method. Ghezzi told him tothink about keeping the' putt on the linefor the first 3 inches. The Lord wouldtake care of the rest.

"Scotty" Fessenden presided at the an-nual President's dinner at which JoeNovak presented Snead with the PGA's"Golfer of the Year" placque.
