Description

Seventeen golfers arrived from Miami, Florida, to take part in Glen Garden's $10,000 Fort Worth Open golf tournament. They were brought here in a former Army transport, "The Golfer" piloted by Golfer Johnny Bulla, former commercial and Army pilot. Jimmy Thomson, "golf's longest hitter," reads the program for the tournament. He is sitting at a table, wearing a sweater. In front of him, on the table, is a plate and fork.
