From the Archives: Walter P. Fuller on the Jungle Country Club Golf Course


Here is the young visionary and Jungle developer Walter P. Fuller on the Jungle Golf Course prior to the 1926-27 winter season. Fuller is among the many luminaries who played on the legendary course that meandered through the current day Azalea neighborhood.

The caption reads: 

"Walter P. Fuller, left, and George Dantzler, Jungle amateur golf champion, study Fuller's new driver at the Jungle Country Club course as they discuss the coming winter season in golf.

Both Dantzler and Fuller predict the coming winter will be St. Petersburg's best golf year and already many rumors of coming tournaments to officially launch the season at the Jungle, are in the air.

Fuller, who has already broken 80 in recent play, is looked upon as a dangerous competitor in the forthcoming season."
