AZ AURICE NEE, the 17-year-
M old Manor Club youngster
lVl who has been whacking
the ball around local golf
courses in low figures this year
and who has bright golfing fu-
ture ahead of him as he develops
in accuracy and distance, is just
about ripe for move into win
ming ways, according to none
other than Harry G.. Pitt, the Dis
trict amateur champion
Harry ought to know, for he has
played plenty Of golf with young Nee
and knows what the youngster can do.
Last year Nee considered 1t fine day
II he scored around 76 or n. This year
the lad, who has grown by an inch Of
two and is a lot heavier than last year,
is not at all satisfied if he doesn't score
below rs. He hasn't done anything
much in local golf tournaments this
year, but there have been few of them,
and the youngSter is serious about his
schooling. He attends Georgetown
Prep, where he was leader in golf
activities at school and the topliner on
the school golf team.
|'TAN he stand the pressure IN good
~ company" we asked Pitt. He
can," said Harry, "if you con-
slider my game good company. I played
q holes the other day with him at
tough match" Which would seem TO
kro rr,fF
can stand the gaff in competition. We
watched young Nee hit few shots in
practice at Chevy Chase and can tes-
ttfy that he Is plenty long from the tee.
Also, that he hits his shots very well,
indeed. He started out with birdie 8
on that first hole at Chevy Chase and
even though he wasn't trying particu-
larry hard to score, he knocked the ball
around that layout in rs. He has played
Manor in II several times, and If he
keeps on improving as he has over the
past year this youngster will be tough
| nut for any one Give him four or five
big tournaments and the experience
they bring and he'll be tough enough
for any man.
DOLAND r. MACKENZIE, young Co
n lumbia golf star, but a veteran OF
competitive golf, Is to enter local
AANSPASoA bNkAAOAAOW AO1 q OPCAa-
| ton. He expects to be out within q
