IF John r. Mccormack made a mis-
take In not opening up the putting
greens al the Indian Spring Golf
Club until last week end Ii isn't
visible TO the naked eye. And If
every effort Of Dick Watson on the golf
course IS as good as that he has ex-
pended on the Indian Spring layout
over the last two ucnths, John AfcCor-
nlack's tactics with regard 10 the OPEN
tng of the green's have not been IN vain.
We had the pleasure Of playing yes
tsr6sy with the mighty man Of Indian
Spring. J. Monro Hunter. the new
club professional. who sInacks a golf
ball where no golf ball has a right TO
b. srnacke6 and Perry 3. Hoover. the
energetic chairman Of the golf COM
r1ittee and George Aiulroy. one Of the
leading golfers al 'tne Springs
We had two objects first 70 see the
tee shots Of the lengthy Scot who now
holds down the professional berth at In
dian Spring, and 70 take a look at the
golf course which Mccormack few
days ago declared was in the best shape
It has ever been in az this time Of year.
Really in Fine Shape.
McCormack's statement is absolutely
true. Sometimes We have found John
Mccormack q bit enthusiastic, an en-
thuslasrn We found tempered by a spe~
eies Of nlodesty regarding his own
accomplishments But when he said
Indian Spring was In great shape We
We determined 70 find out for our
selves Everything he said Is true
ray. mere than true-for Indian Spring
s. II Midsummer condition right nov
and We believe it is IL better condition
than any course We nave played re-
ceutly.
About fhe other half .! our dual
oo3ect IN moving out Four Corners way
We cannot yet speak except IN ufis-
perB We are stu TOO much IN awe Of
the booming tee shots 81 the Indian
Eprlng giant And a. the end Il
seemed that he really hadn't gotten
hold o. the ball from any Of the tees
However. when any man carries over
the bunker ~ The left Of the fa3rw7g a.
the twelfth and plays his second 70 the
green v1th q spade ulaShie We don
really thing ne missed his tee shot
Nor could Z Tee shot be missed that
left nin only spade shot ~ the flftn
hole. He only half nlt MS ball a. the
dog-leg fifteenth and When he arrived
e. the spot where il buried II had car
RED far past rhe 225-yaTo stake.
On. yes. the yarns about MonrC
Hunter being long hitter are not
exaggerated And bear IN mind he has
pizyed b1t one game since last Pail when
fe and Francis Gsllett of Wisconsin auc
