Newscopy: "WHERE THEY'LL PLAY--This is the Lake Merced Golf and Country Club as seen from the air. The nation's leading professionals and our top amateurs will get a closer look at it when the $10,000 San Francisco Open starts there tomorrow and runs through Sunday. The course is long and narrow with tricky greens and the emphasis throughout the tournament will be on accuracy. The course has been turned around to better accommodate the gallery, with the players starting off what normally is the 10th tee. Thus, the first tee becomes the 10th during the 54-hole play. Although the course has been lengthened, par remains the same - 36-36--72.".
