Maybe senior and junior circuits. Someplace where the youngsters of the game can get paid enough to cut their golfing teeth on a few of the tasty morsels that the sport sponsors. But no one has really picked the ice on that one, except when there have been conflicts such as the Tournament of Champions for the champions only and another tournament for those who failed to qualify as champions. 8 A couple of weeks ago we had our first major split. It was a mistake. The Canadian Open ($125,000) had seceeded from the PGA union at jthe time when the golfers and PGA officials were having their fanciful fits. When the two of them got together again jthey approved, at the same time as the Canadian UOpen, the American Classic at Akron (another ' ' $125,000). . That meant that there was one quarter of a million dollars pursed for the two places. And with the $250,000 Westchester Classic following it the next week there was one half million dollars paid to winning golfers in the two weekends. WOW! By BOB GREEN Press Golf Writer . Brophy.

Top-ranke- d made Certainly there was money made on the Westchester Classic where ticket sales were limited to 20,000 and they might have sold twice that. In two years, even at the prices paid the golfers at a quarter of a million dollars, the Westchester Classic has made $662,000 for its charity, the Westchester County Hospital. Big numbers, these, $500,000 for the golfers in two years. Soon and $662,000 for the hospital it can be disclosed how high the 1969 heap was for the hospital. Take Two Simutaneous Trails the basis of these figures it would seem that golfs now gigantic enough to take two simultaneous trails. Maybe one in the East and one in the West., On Certainly, golf would be wise enough to see that each tournament had its stars that there would be a taste of the talent on both tables. Certainly golfers would be smart enough to play the odds so as to try for the best arrangements In pay. The pay scale would keep the sheet balanced when it came to talent, for sure. Moreover, this would force each of the two competing tournaments to be in front with the finances. It would likely be scheduled so that each tournament would have the same price tag for that week, but a big one. Of course, there would be no split for the .major events. Only about half of the schedule would be split. Balance The TV Books As for the television take, there would be room for both. There is a time difference. Also there js a way to spread the finals of the one tournament to Sunday and finish the other on Saturday.
