round a few days before the play. "Steve," in white pants and all, is being awarded something or other as a gag because, he says, if he had been elected standard bearer to the .southern California lumber industry he would have brought little glory to thg homeland. Gol{er Freeman says that to find Jim King (his pro) and him in the standings, you'd have had to look "far down" the Crosby list. Steve also says the first day's weather was even worse than the conditions you may have seen on TV on the final day. The rain came early and heavy, the wind augmented the downpour and, when they reached the 5th hole, a SO-mile gale was storming. Those golfers who know Pebble Beach and the short 7th hole (a drop hole of some 120 yards bearing seaward) will understand when it's reported that the longhitting pro, Chick Harbert, playing a few foursomes behind the Freeman four, hit a 3 iron and barely made the front edge. He advised his partner, an amateur celebrity, "Hit a 3 wood; if you hit it well it should leave you a short chip to the green." But the Crosby is the greatest tournament in the world, "a real ball," reports Freeman. To the amateurs, the weather is almost incidental: if hurricane. snow and a visitation of locusts were predicted, every amateur would still garrote his best friend if necessary to attend-"There's nothing like it !" swears Steve Freeman,
