Spectacular Dale Smith Among Top Golf Pros in Local Am Event
Three qualifiers pursue the National Public Links championship with Dale Smith touted as a strong contender for 1947. The six foot three inch, 225 pound slugger combines a powerful tee and driving game with a sharp short iron and putting stroke. His infantry injuries in Germany have left him walking with effort but he continues to excel in tours and the state amateur in Davenport where Johnny Jacobs dominates and Earl Wilde looms as Davenport Country Club’s top threat. Donald Bispinghoff, at twelve, wins the Florida Pee Wee title with a 45-55-89 score in the event’s first year.

In 1941 at Hyperion Des Moines he faced a semifinal exit to Johnny Kraft who’s long dominated Colorado and Iowa challengers.
