USGA Warns Auction Pools Could Bring Gambling to Golf
New York July 6 The U S Golf Association warned that auction pools at championships could invite professional gamblers to take over the sport. The executive committee adopted a resolution disapproving organized gambling in play. James W Walker said such pools would drive commercializing the game and possibly influence hands like other sports. Auction pools and sweepstakes have long appeared at tournaments despite officials' disapproval. The Calcutta-tyne pool remains the common large money format. Contestants usually do not participate.
