The only question is-will we

Will'we go back to our I'M

Great Neck Club Profession
ais Play Twice Around
in l38 and l4O

The second thirty-six hole match be-
tween George Mclean, the present pro-
fessional of the Great Neck Country
Club, and Gilbert Nichols, the former
professional Of the club, was played
yesterday and resulted in victory for
Mclean by A up and to play.
Their match week ago resulted in
tic at the end Of thirty-six holes,
so tho club members were worked up
to fever heat over this match. The
play greatly resembled that Of last
week, only reversed, as Mclean did all
the great playing in the morning, while
Nichols was practically the star in the
afternoon.
Mclean went around in the morning
eighteen holes. Nichols did the after
noon round in 68 to 73, and at the com
pletlon of the eighteen holes was only
| down. That is. he won two of the
bye holes, after the match was over,
and halved the other, after missing a
putt for win. These three holes
amounted to nothing further than the
betting on the afternoon round.
Nichols did not win a single hole
IN the morning, but in the afternoon
ne won eight, of which six were before
the match ended. Mclean won six in
the morning and but four in the after
noon.
The morning round began in dash
ing style, each man putting forth his
pest. efforts, and the course was played
IN about par figures. They were both
on the first green in 2 and the hole
was halvcd in 4. The same thing oc-
CURED at the second hole The third
hole over the pond was halvcd in the
par Of 3. Mclean had the best drive
on the fourth hole. but Nichols played
a. fine iron shot out Of the rough to
the green and the hole was halved in 4.
Two beautiful long drives were made
On the fifth hole of 5l2 yards. Both
players were Just short of the green
on their second shots and the hole was
halyed in 4, one stroke under par.
Nlchol Is had the best drive playing the
sixth hole, but Mclean made a beauti-
ful recovery from the rough and the
hole was halved in 4.
The seventh is a dog-lcg hole, but the
professionals played straight for the
green over the trees, and, while neither
reached the green, they halved the hole
IN 4. The eighth is a short hole, and
!hcy were both on the green with an
iron and halved The hole in 3.
Playing the ninth Mclean had q
long, straight drive, and was over the
green on his second. Nichols drove
deep into the rough to the right, but
while he made fine approach over the
trees to the edge of the green, Mclean
proved to be the master at the short
game and Won the hole in to S, having
gone out in 90 to 35.
Mclean, however. had all the best
OF it on the last nine holes He won
the tenth in 9, one stroke under par
