For skilled North Americans, coming from a highly technological society, have a special mission to Latin America, which is beginning to go through the same urbanization that...
...ability to play in pressure-packed tournaments week after week, ten months of the year. With the 1958 tour two-thirds complete, three of golf's Young Turks hold a long lead in the earnings list: Arnold Palmer, 28, of Latrobe, Pa. ($40,478), Bill Casper, 27, of Chula Vista, Calif. ($38,332), and Venturi, 27, of San Francisco ($37,044). Palmer has finished in the top ten in 13 of 24 tournaments, Casper in twelve of 23, Venturi in 14 of 24. Palmer and Casper have won three tournaments each, Venturi four...
