WALTER HAGEN
GLIMPSES OF OLD FORM Although now 4G years of age, the well-known golfer Walter Hagen still continues 'to produce glimpses of his old form, states an American writer. In a professional tournament recently he returned a card of 31 for nine holes. He played every hole in par or better, gaining birdies on four of them, and had seven- one-putt greens, six in a row. He slumped to a 39 coming home, but his 31 was the highlight of the day.. Hagen is still the most popular golfer in America, and always has time to chat with the spectators no matter how difficult the game.
