Enterprise golf writer Don Weed reviews Blair Park Golf Course in High Point. The piece traces Blair Park from its 1931 nine holes on land donated by the Blair family through 1947 expansion, later changes cutting sand traps, and the era of Hogan and Palmer shaping public interest.
Blair Park has modernized since 1931 with a new recreation building and redesigned holes. A single dogleg left on the front, a moved 15th tee, and an added alternate green on the eighth improve play. The pro shop has been refurbished into a thriving operation. The course, long for a public layout, features two halves with a variety of hazards including creeks and trees. Key tests lie on holes 14, 7, and 3, demanding accurate drives and strategic shot planning to navigate doglegs, out of bounds, and creek crossings.
Benny Phillips notes Buddy Baker, a fit, upbeat racer and possible psychiatry coach, as he preps for the Atlanta 500 at Atlanta International Raceway. A practice crash involving Baker and Lee Roy Yarbrough damaged both cars, then repairs allowed late practice. Baker had set a track record speed of 158.70 mph, extending his fluctuating Atlanta fortunes since last fall.
At Atlanta International Raceway the 1 pm start for the 10 Atlanta 500 features a soft compound tire setup flagged for poor durability. Four factory-backed drivers including David Pearson and Buddy Baker may switch to harder tires and start at rear. Firestone warns tires unsafe beyond 15 laps on 1.4 mile oval.
The starting field for Sunday’s Atlanta Slam shows Pearson from Spartanburg and Glatzbach from Georgetown among top qualifiers. Notable drivers include Petty, Yarborough, Yarbrough, and Johnson, with several entries from Georgia and nearby states.
Murphy, the incoming nine Saturday for, shot a four under par 68 to surge three strokes ahead in the National Airlines Open at Miami. The 26-year-old former ama champion from Bartow Fla. canned putts from 30 and 25 feet, never faltering as rivals cooled, and posted a five under total of 203, 13 under par.
Lionel Hebert, at 41, carded a 69 to share second place at 206 behind Murphy at the 6,927 yard Country Club of Miami. Dave Stockton and Butch Baird tied for third at 207. Bunky Henry fired a 66 eight under par to reach 206, while Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer yielded late bursts but could not threaten Murphy.
