Skeet shooting offers year 'round ex-tra income for your club. A new sport which has drawn phenomenal inter-est. A new source of revenue, already proved at many golf clubs.

Skeet is a natural as an alternate out-door sport for golfers, r ight through the golf season and on through Fall and W i n t e r w i thou t le t -up. Called "Shotgun Golf" it requires perfect co-ordination of hand, eye and brain — close study of stance, form, balance, pivoting, weight shifting, swing and follow-through. Like golf it can be enjoyed as a serious tournament or

as a kidding match, as the shooters choose.

Let us send complete details, tell you how little a Skeet field can cost, and explain why best results are obtained with the new Western MASTER Skeet Traps. Equipped with hand-cocking levers and wire release. Also furnish-ed for A.C. current or storage battery release. The Western Skeet Booklet, shown below, will be sent FREEITells all about the sport.

Starting at Station N o . 1 y o u s h o o t from the 7 stations around the semi-circle —then at that score-wrecking N o . 8, midway b e t w e e n the t w o traps. O u t g o i n g b i rds—incoming—quarter ing birds and crossing shots . Skeet has them al l !

quick to seize upon th is possibili ty of revenue in making the i r f inancial ar range-ments with the Board of Directors . Or frequent ly, it has been found, individuals or the en t i re commit tee sponsor a loan for the purpose of instal l ing the equip-ment, the club t r easu re r automat ica l ly re-tiring the no te or notes as revenue ac-crues.

Those who have tried t h e pay-as-you-shoot plan describe it as effective under almost all conditions. Even if a club has only twen ty shooters , the individual bur-den of r e t i r ing the inves tmen t in equip-ment is sl ight. Usually the number of new shooters a t t rac ted to skee t in la te fall, winter and early spr ing so swells the list of pa t rons of the ins ta l la t ion tha t one shooter seldom contr ibutes more than $10 through the t a rge t tax.

Summing it all up, this skee t bus iness is so s imple to install and easy to maintain, especially unde r the pay-as-you-shoot plan, tha t i t 's a wonder the t r a p m a n u f a c t u r e r s a ren ' t swamped with orders .

Records of the phenomenal growth of skeet indicate tha t every man who ever fired a gun has at least a potent ia l skeet complex. All he needs is a method of ex-pression—in short , a place to shoot skeet .

THE WOMAN SPEAKS Greenlceeper's W i fe Says Club

Let's Husband Slave —and Starve

" Is there a code covering golf course workers?" asks this wife of a much overworked and under-paid greenkeeper-caretaker-manager-carpenter-jack-of-all-trades at an Iowa course. It's a tip-off to the advantage some unthinking clubs are tak-ing of the present employment situation in the greenkeeping field.

I W A N T T O S A Y a word in de fense of the • " forgo t ten m a n " of the golf industry, the greenkeeper -care taker . Anyway I'll call it a defense—maybe I 'm jus t le t t ing off a l i t t le s team. If I told you about a man who worked twelve, f ou r t een and somet imes s ix teen hours a day for seven months and received only $420 a year for his work, you'd tell me the man must be crazy wouldn' t you? Yet, being the wife

of one of these crazy men, I can tell you still more.

W e are in charge of a beaut i ful l i t t le roll ing 9-hole course here, on a lake shore. The course is suppor ted by two nea rby towns and the re a r e a lot of fine people f rom both towns who play here. W h e n we came here some years ago, f r iend hus-band was one of two men who drew a f a i r wage for six mon ths of the year. Then came the depress ion and the o ther m a n was laid off. Fr iend husband took a cut in wages and assumed the work of two men , and anyone who has ever worked on a golf course must have some idea of how much must be done.

For five years he has a t tempted to clean sand t raps , mow greens three t imes week-ly, se t up tables for dinner par t ies , t end fu rnace fires, keep rough mowed, mow fair-ways, keep caddies somewhere wi thin bounds, care for tees, wash dishes a f t e r par t ies , clean up the clubhouse, repai r ma-chinery, do ca rpen t ry work and plumbing. In fact , somet imes I wonder how m a n y men I 've marr ied and then again, I won-der if I have a man a t all, I see him so se ldom!

I t ' s a grea t l i fe! But somehow the joy of work well done t u r n s sour when we a r e only provided with a 3-room house, have only a h a m m e r and screw driver provided to work with and a re not given a l iving wage. But we have four children, two in high school, and we m u s t t ry to give them an adequate educat ion.

I wonder, does our club apprec ia te the use of some $150 wor th of this crazy man's own tools, all his e f for ts to keep expenses down, his long hours of work, his runn ing to tu rn on spr ink le rs some thought less p layer has turned off?

W e wish our job was included in some NRA code so we could at least make ex-penses . He mus t t ake a job cornpicking, or wha t have you, to keep us through t h e winter . Do the d i rec tors try to find us a job for the balance of the year? They do no t !

In fact , when we asked for wallboard to finish a four th room we managed to get , they told us they couldn ' t afford it. I won-der, can we afford to heat a room ent i re ly unf inished? Our wages? Out of $1300 spen t dur ing the year a year ago, $350 was spen t for wages. Yes, I guess they appre-ciate what my greenkeeper , ca re taker , jack of all t rades husband has done—not.' So w h a t ?

1935 N E W CLUB I D E A S Makers Present Design Changes

to Increase 1935 Club Sales

£*HANGES in club design a l r eady an-nounced for 1935 lines are of a char-

ac ter tha t ought to st ir up buying interest . Instead of the meaningless changes in sole plates and face insets s imply to make the clubs look different, the m a k e r s have come through with some decided innova-tions for nex t year.

Some of the new equipment a l ready has had enough tes t ing during the la te par t of this season to prove its mer i t as a sales maker when the curtain goes up for 1935. Wilson's Turf-Rider woods, designed by J im Gallagher, c lubmaking exper t former ly with the PGA are examples of clubs tha t got a good selling and pe r fo rmance tes t late this season. Burke's Punchi rons , put on the m a r k e t in late July a f t e r a two-year test , also regis tered very well. These clubs are made in 9 and 10 iron sets . There is no put t ing and no driving iron in these sets. The re is a 45 iron (about ha l fway between a 4 and a 5) which is prac-tically a j igger, and a No. 8 p i tcher in the fea tured 9 club set. No radical changes a re in Burke 's 1935 woods. There are a lot of changes in Burke 's bag line and pros have clicked to these improve-ments by mak ing heavy fall bookings for Burke bags. The Long Burke ball con-struct ion has been changed and it will be the company 's leader as a top grade tough cover ball.

Hagen has a new and in te res t ing Honey Boy iron set among other new irons. There are new models in this line, some of which a re about as rich looking woods as the eye will res t upon. There ' s a new metal baffy a l ready in product ion which has received an early O. K. f rom the pros.

Spalding's Jones "Form Grip," described elsewhere in th is issue, has t ipped off big 1935 sales possibilit ies by a l ready s t i r r ing up sales at a t ime when the year ' s business is practically over .

Hillerich and Bradsby a re br inging out woods and irons that have an in te res t ing

background. Bill Mehlhorn s tar ted wi th the original models of these clubs a t t he beginning of the s u m m e r tournament sea-son and visited hundreds of profess ionals in the i r shops and at t he tou rnament s get-t ing cr i t ical comments on the clubs. A f t e r the boys' had thei r say and the many sug-gest ions considered and sif ted, p a t t e r n s for the final designs we re made. Bill m a i n t a i n s tha t the clubs as finally ap-proved have drawn on the fine ideas of more pro c lubmaking and playing expe r t s t h a n any other clubs tu rned out of a shop and ci tes names as long as one wan t s to l is ten to prove his point .

H e r b e r t Lagerblade of the Horton-Bris-tol Sales Corp. namds as a headl iner of the Bristol clubs, bags and balls for 1935 the new Bristol woods which are of a s t r ik ingly dist inct ive design, sl ightly stream-lined to help the player get t h e ball up. These clubs a r e finished wi th a liand-rubbed stain which gives t h e m a handsome stand-out look in any pro shop display. The Pyramid iron design has gone over in such good shape tha t it again is the Bristol iron leader in the 1935 line-up. T h e r e are some changes in m a r k i n g but t he basic principle of the heads is the same.

Vulcan ' s men are a l ready out with a fine new line of "red ho t " woods and irons, which add to but do not replace the com-pany 's 1934 models, which went over so well th i s past season t h a t they will be con-t inued for 1935.

True Temper Has New Shaft The Amer ican Fork and Hoe labora tor ies

have several sha f t developments coming out in 1935 a f t e r s t r enuous sessions in playing and laboratory tes t s . One of the AF&H new True T e m p e r products about which the re has been much advance chat-t e r is a laminated sha f t which is produced by spi ra l ly winding ex t remely thin alloy s teel r ibbon. In a sense, design may be compared with tha t commonly used paper wrapped pencil.

P r o s who have tes ted these s h a f t s com-ment on an unusual ly swee t "feel" a t im-pact . It has the abil i ty to part ial ly absorb and diss ipate sha f t s t ra ins , says Bob Cow-drey of the True Temper outfit.

opened. Natural ly th is does not apply where a large bottle is opened and recork-ed unti l the next o rder for champagne cocktai ls is received, a s the wine in t h a t even t loses its life. In addit ion to th is t he spl i ts make it possible for the cus tomer to order a champagne cocktail by b rand and see tha t the actual bot t le is opened in his presence so tha t t he r e can be no sub-s t i tu t ion.

"As regards the cost, this amoun t s to $57 in the case of E x t r a Dry champagne for t he loose bot t les and $58.50 for t he baske ts . The Cordon Rouge 1926 costs $64 for the loose bot t les and $65.50 for the baskets . Both pr ices quoted a re sub-jec t to the usual r e b a t e allowed whole-sa lers ."

One of the first places where the gift box deal will click good and s t rong is with the corporat ion executives.

The tons of c igars sold for Chr i s tmas pres-entat ion a re smoked quickly unless—as often happens—the jani tor fal ls heir to ropes tha t a re not to the rec ip ient ' s taste . The fac tors of quick consumpt ion and differences in t a s t e have mil i ta ted against the cigar purchases ; so when the pro with the golf ball suggestion comes to the man who buys company gi f t s , he should be given a warm welcome and some subs tan t ia l business.

Ed Conlin, golf ball sales manage r of U. S. Rubber , figures tha t with t h e pro entree to big business men it should be possible for many professionals to dispose of enough g i f t box US Royals to make themselves at least a couple of hundred dollars apiece dur ing the usually dead pe-riod r ight before Chris tmas. One angle to the deal, pointed out by Conlin, is tha t pro sales effort on this should be applied early as corporat ion gift plans a re made well in advance of Chris tmas. T h e pro who will make door-to-door or te lephone calls on his members during November and early in December, and keep follow-ing up, s t ands a good chance of get t ing enough golf goods Chris tmas bus iness to relieve his win ter worries w h e t h e r he s tays in the nor th or goes south a f t e r the nor thern season has ended. A strong, helpful push-off to the gif t box U. S. Three Star plan is given by a s t r ik ing poster the US company supplies to pro shops.

A specially developed process casehardens the balata wi thout a t the same t ime des t roying its res i l ient proper-ties.

Says C h a p m a n : "The Honey Boy will resis t the hack ing and chopping of the most inexper t duffer and will give him more than full value for his money. This baby is tough and how! It will p lease the low handicap golfer too, for it will give him all the d is tance he can get, and at the

Tes ts prove tha t the distribution is a lmost 100% perfect , according to Lyndon, with a wide range of pressures, and the coverage is all t ha t can be secured with the size of nozzle in use. Both are mounted on new improved disc bases tha t have already become popular.

Lyndon reports an excellent volume of business the past season and prospects for still greater volume for 1935. A re-cent survey by him shows that the aver-age golf club is in almost flattering con-dition compared with the past two years.

He fur ther s ta tes tha t their company is a t present cooperating with several golf courses, helping them to work out a fair-way low cost water ing system for 1935, and tha t the tendency is toward the lower pressure and hose system because of the importance of being able to place sprin-klers where they should be to offset wind conditions and to water the par ts tha t need watering.

New York City—Spalding 's are offering a new fea ture in their 1935 line of Bobby Jones clubs, in the way of a "Jones Form Grip." It is said to be a decided s tep in clubmaking and a help to both the tourna-ment and average golfer. The special fea-tures claimed for the Jones Form Grip a r e :

It will improve iron play because with it a player is able to relax his wris ts a bit more at the top of the swing thereby mak-ing sure of proper cocking without losing the sense of club head location.

The grip adapts itself to a natural posi-tion of the hands and promotes a hand consciousness of the club face.

It is a form tha t permits choking; flexi-bility in the longitudinal position of the hands being desirable.

The section is made partially flat on the r ight side—the specific purpose of this is to set up to the sense of feel a positive location of the s tr iking side or face of the club. This somewhat flat section is established parallel to the center of the s t r ik ing face and perpendicular to the in-tended direction for the ball.

It assists in obtaining the correct grip and provides for the f ree r and more effec-tive use of the le f t hand (right hand play-er) as well as encouraging a unified action of both hands.
