It was erroneously stated in Golfdom in February (page 73) that $5,000 was spent by the GCSA in entertaining supts' wives who accompanied their husbands to the national convention. This should have read, "$5,000 was spent by the Midwest GCSA," as the host organization always handles this part of the convention bill. Also, exhibitors were not charged 10 per cent extra to finance the cocktail hour that preceded the annual banquet, but to pay for entertainment at the banquet.

at S.C. V e t s H o s p i t a l

A six-hole Par 3 course with 30 ft. cir-cular greens has been completed on the grounds of the Columbia, S. C. VA Hos-pital, the result of a suggestion made by a former golf professional patient, Johnny Spence, who also planned and helped lay it out.

During his hospitalization, Spence, who

Walter Carnes, therapist, Mrs. W. M. Daniel, UVS volunteer worker, John L. Wilson, a patient, and Pro Johnny Spence enjoy a round at Columbia

VA Hospital course.

is now promoting the Southern Hills club in Columbia, worked on a design for the Par 3 and then "sold" it to the hospital management. Although he didn't sacrifice true Par 3 quality, Spence's main interest in the project was prompted by a desire to contribute specifically to the therapeutic program.

Emphasize Safety Special emphasis was placed on safety

factors. The compact course is arranged so that 24 to 28 patients can play without danger of being struck by a ball. Distance between holes varies from 60 to 75 yards and distance from a green to the next tee is approximately 7 5 yards. These factors provide more walking exercise as well as safety.

The hospital's golf therapy program has been of great value in the treatment of NP patients. They thoroughly enjoy the game and the outside activity and par-ticipate enthusiastically. Most of them have never played before but many say they expect to continue playing after they return home.

The golf program also has proved valu-able in treatment of newly-blind patients since it promotes their self-confidence, group activity and morale.
