Abstract/Contents:Profiles Merle Russill, superintendent of Fort Ord Base, a military golf course in Monterey County, California. Mentions that Russill was "born originally in Oregon, but received most of his education [here] in California, almost all of it around the Watsonville area," and that Russill decided to enter the field as an assistant professional in Montibello in 1946." Describes the Fort Ord as "unique in the sense that it is built entirely on sand as most courses are on the Monterey Peninsula." States that the course is a regulation 18, which plays around 6,300 yards but this can be stretched to 7,200 yards." Notes that "even though it is a military base, the entire crew is civilian with an equivalent status as that of Civil Service." Details the courses on Fort Ord, which "having been built during various periods, do not have the same sprinkler systems on all."
