BILL 'MELHORN
CLOUTS BALL

Bill Melhorn can and does slug
a golf ball. The Peck's Bad Boy
of the professional golfers demon
strated beyond a shadow of doubt
that he is one of the longest and
straightest drivers in the game
when he played in an 18-hole ex-
hibition best ball match with
Tommy Armour, Congressional pro,
Cy Newton, and Sandy Armour, as
sistant to Tommy.
In the first place, Melhorn was
three under par for the first nine
holes and but for a slip up on
the 18th hole, where he took a five
for the shortest hole on the course,
he would have cracked 70. AS 1t
was he had Il to take and his
partner, Newton, to victory 4 up
and 3.
MeIhOrn evidently didn't realize
that the course was slow because
of the rain. Certainly, his drives
and their r8llS didn't seem to
realize it. The chunky little pro-
fessiOnal swatted the ball to a
fare thee well on IS holes, and
then warmed up by driving a
hundred or so balls with some
new clubs that Tony sylvester
made for him.
Melhorn's short game is good.
1t is generally true that an ex-
tremely long driver is loose with
his irons. wild Bill" is good
enough with his irons as he showed.
The Congressional course is long
and that just suited Melhorn. He
loves to wade into drives. He likes
those long second shots where he
can hit a full shot. And what a
terrific ball he hits. Armour played
good golf. but Melhorn's driving
took the spot light away from the
home club pro.
