JOHN BULLA IS PICKING UP ON POKY GULDAHL
Johnny Bulla's picking up be- cause Halph Gulduhl played to slowly too suit him in the Land of the Sky Open in Asheville was as inexcusable as it was discour- teous.
There is no place in golf for anything like that.
Bulla seeing to specialise in do- ing the wrong thing at the right time.
It was Bulla who urged Ed. Oliver to start early to beat a storm, a stunt which brought about the Porky One's heart- breaking disqualification in the United States Open last June, though he lied Lawson Little and Gene Sarazen for the right to play off.
Bulla has become so unpopular that the auctioneer practically "had to beg to get bidding started on him in the Calcutta pool pre- ceding the Augusta Masters!
Though he is one of the cracks of the game, Bulla went for some- thing like $200, as compared to the $1,125 brought by Samuel Jackson Snead and the $1,000 paid for little Ben Hogan's chance."
No one wanted any part of Bulla.
Maybe that will but Johnny. Bulla next himself.
