OFFER TO GOLFER TERMS FOR AMERICAN VISIT Henry Cotton has just entered intc a new four-years’ contract with the Ashridge Golf Club, England, one of the conditions giving him the right to travel abroad. He is, therefore, free to accept the American offer to visit the United States to play Sam Snead for the “world championship.” But it will depend on the financial guarantees whether he goes. Now he has announced his terms. He is requesting a payment of £2005 for a five-weeks tour, commencing in March. Moreover, he wants his expenses paid. Cotton, although not British open champion, makes more money than probably any three other British professionals. His income from personal exertion is well over £5OOO a year. He is financially independent, and he is only 31.
