Acushnet Announces BigNew Ad Campaign
Beginning with the 1958r'; March issues of national and
golf magazines, Acushnetlaunched the greatest con-sumer advertising campaignin its history. To carry thetorch for Acushnet, the wellremembered and well be-loved Fussy Foursome, ab-sent from Acushnet's adver-
~ tising for several years, hasbeen recalled to duty.
The return of these zanycharacters to Acushnet ad-vertising is, in a sense, bypopular request. Ever since
~ their retirement some yearsago, Acushnet has bee nbombarded with requests forreprints for framing. Acush-
""'" net and its ad agency reason-ed that as the popularity ofthese effective salesmen hadsurvived several years of absence, theybrought back. Every month during the spring
"1 and summer Acushnet ads will be going intoover 10,500,000 homes.

Design at MacGregorToney Penna, one ofthe world's foremost
golf club designers, is stepping into new re-sponsibilities with The MacGregor Co., Cin-cinnati, O. He will head all research, develop-ment and design of the firm's line of golf equip-
l ment. A MacGregor man for 25 years as sales-man, tournament rep and club designer, Toneynow will devote all of his time to his new du-ties By relinquishing his former promotional ac-tivities to concentrate full time on productwork, his contributions to the improvmentof golf equipment should be even greater in
~ the future. Most prominent of the clubs he hasdesigned are "MT" irons and "Super Eye-O-
-'t Matic" woods. He also is known for design ofutility irons, notably the "Double Duty" and"Double Service." In 1955 he introduced the"Colokrom" iron - two-tone copper and chromeface - which was an immediate success.

Washington Physicist InventsStrobe Golf Trainer
Prof. Luis W. Alvarez, Washington, D.C. physicist, has patented a stroboscopic r-:
golf training device. A stroboscope is aninstrument for studying interrupted light.In Alvarez' device, bright flashes illumin-ate the clubhead at four or five points asit approaches and strikes the ball. Inlooking down at the ball the player sees aseries of "positionally arrested images" atthese points. The images tell the player .,.'whether he has the club face at the properangle. By repeating his swing, he may beable to correct tendencies to slice, hook ortop the ball. A ball mayor may not beused with the strobe trainer.
Also attached to thetrainer is a"timingdevice that measures speed of the swingand indicates the distance an imaginary r,ball would travel.-------------------
