Abstract/Contents:Discusses golf course playing conditions and describes a hickory shaft tournament held at the Sakonnet Golf Club to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Rhode Island Golf Course Superintendents Association. States that "all of the emphasis on length and power in modern golf misses the point of the game's simple virture. A lovely day on the course is about hitting quality shots and making intelligent use of what contours the ground offers." Concludes that it "takes much more skill to play hickory golf well than it does with ...high-tech clubs. For all the vaunted game-improvement technology available, golf is much more fun when you work the ball and work the land."
