A golfer's dream is to have Ben Hogan or Sam Snead as a tournament partner. In the Latham R. Reed Amateur-Professional Tournament at the Seminole Golf Club, Palm Beach, Fla. the dream comes true. Seizing the opportunity this year were such figures as Henry Ford II, Robert R. Young, Woolworth Donahue and Dan Topping. Envious golfers unable to make it had a consolation: amateurs playing with the renowned Hogan and Snead finished behind team headed by powerful newcomer Mike Souchak.
