For years Mel has been one Of
the better putters anywhere, a
gent who was likely to dump in a 40
footer any time, and a deadly man on
the shorter puts. But his long game
had been a little sour and his chipping
not up to standard So Mel went to
work on these angles Of the game,
smoothed 'em out, and today he rates
right around the top in any profess
sional links imbroglio
He shot a subpar 10 to win at In
dian Spring last week, and a couple
days ago he was the mainstay Of the
Cox-Shorey team against Roland Mac
Kenzie and Cliff Spencer. Witty was
off his mallet-worse than we've seen
him in years-and Shorey kept his
team in the battle with an amazingly
fine exhibition of shotmaking.
Shorey also has heightened out his
tee shots, even though the guy never
was puff ball hitter. He's product
