Gonella took an assistant golf
pro job with Jimmy Thomson
(not the long hitter) at Ormond
Beach, and then went with him
TO Schenectady, N. Y. There he
met an American Army major he
knew in New Delhi and through
him took a part-time job as news
analyst with Station WPTR in
Albany. He worked both jobs at
the same time, inasmuch as the
cities were just Is miles apart.
He was golf pro by day and news

Through a pupil, Gonella had
an opportunity to become pro at
Havana Country Club, but he
turned that down.
Through other contacts, he be-
came attached to the Embassy of
Pakistan. He had served five years
in that territory before the sepa-
ration from India.
Gonella, who became pro
golfer more or less as a stopgap
prefers the amateur side of the
game. Most of his golf last sum-

He played respectable golf in
the National Oper qualifying, al
though he never had seen the

at home as his playing partner

particularly well in the District

modestly said. Il believe Otto was
a bit worried"
Gonella played in the British
Amateur twice and went as far
as the third round. He has played
in the British Open.
In playing golf in Florida, New
York and the District, Gonella
has acquired respect for American
amateur golfers. You people send

was saying, but don't you know
I've seen a golfer or two at almost

good enough to make the team.
I think this Bobby Brownell is as
good as any American amateur
