Texas PGA Section Golf is in for another big year in

Texas during 1941. Tourneys already held here this year (Texas Open at San Antonio and the historic Houston GC invitation) give the tip'ofF. Glen Lakes CC's pro, Graham Ross, announces the club's invitation as April 24'27. This event has grown in popularity for the past five years because of the intense rivalry among such fine golfers as Harry Todd, Reynolds Smith, Jack Tinnin, Spec Goldman, Jimmy Goldman, Jack Munger, etc. Todd had a second visit from the stork March 4—it delivered an 8-lb. 15-oz. son.

National Open qualifying in this sec tion will probably be held on the Brook Hollow layout. It was originally set for Colonial, but so much work is being done there in preparation for the Open, Brook

The Evans Fairway Hoe model shown above will cover 30 to 40 acres a day with a tractor. Grass real ly gets the ful l benefit of fert i l izer and water when the heavy duty prongs of the Fairway Hoe penetrate the soil , aerating and cul t ivat ing the turf to make it produce a healthy growth that is a de l ight to play on.

Angle steel f rame adjusts i tse l f eas i ly; s trong enough to support any weight , with-out bending prongs, where additional weight is needed to properly penetrate heavi ly crusted soils. Adjustable to depth desired. For gett ing and keeping your f a i r w a y s in shape—quickly, surely, economically, use the E v a n s Fairway Hoe.
