Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated August 8, 1958 reads, "Jack Roper, who fought Joe Louis for world's heavyweight title in 1939, is first in line to get starting time at Sepulveda Municipal Golf Course. Popularity of sport has led to city opening two 18-hole courses in Sepulveda dam basin. Long range planners says they will put two more 18-hole courses in area. Demand for playing on course is so great, golfers phone ahead days in advance to make reservations." Sepulveda Municipal Golf Course is also known as Balboa Golf Course and is located at Sepulveda Golf in Encino, CA.; See images #00121101 through #00121108 for all photos in this series.
