"Holp Us Revive Golf VISITORS FROM THAILAND V. R.C. JUST
In Spain"
London, July 31.
A letter appealing for help
to revive the game of golf in Spain has been received by an English firm of golf-ball manufacturers.
It is signed by Emilio Cayor- ga, who describes himself as the oldest golf professional In Spain, and six others, who say that they are the only seven golf "pros" left alive in Spain after the war. They appeal to British amateurs and profes- sionals for help, saying that "oven used clubs, bags or practising balls" would be useful.
The letter describes how the two Madrid golf courses be- came part of a battlefield and were totally destroyed, but say that they are being recon- structed and a few holes are ореп,
Mr. Henry Gullen, Secretary of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, said that he would bring the appeal to the notice of his club, "Already we help various organisations in Britain by arranging supplies of used clubs and balts," he said, "and I do not know how far we can -assist.
"I have no doubt, however, that the Professional Golfers' Association will be in a posi- tion to extend help of some "kind."—United Press,
