...Wheaties & Rolls. The ace of aces was Norman Manley, a long-hitting four-handicapper from Inglewood, Calif., who scored three in a month-all on par-four holes, of 330, 330 and 290 yds. Then there was Harry Poli, 56, who plays with a putter exclusively and holed out his 150-yd. tee shot last June at the Salem, Mass., Municipal Golf Course. At Mission Hills Golf Club in Northbrook, Ill., members are still shaking their heads over the golfer who topped his drive on the 15th tee and rolled it into the cup, 175 yds. away...
...take the match. Ara stuck one on the green, about 40 ft. from the pin. He stepped up to putt, paused and asked: 'What state are we in?' 'We're in Pennsylvania,' I said. 'All right,' said Ara. Then I'm the greatest putter in the state of Pennsylvania.' He swung and, sure enough, the ball went over four or five breaks plunk into...
...time the players reached the 18th green. Huddled under an umbrella, Lema watched Souchak line up a 25-ft. birdie putt-and push it 4 ft. past the hole. Tony's approach was 8 ft. from the pin.

"I stood there, looking at that thing, thinking, My God, this is a $20,000 putt-and I just couldn't hit it." Finally, Tony addressed the ball again. And this time he punched...
During his freshman year, Croasdale was hailed as a potential 60' shot-putter, but those hopes were dashed when Art suffered a crippling sprained tendon in his throwing hand. Still unable to give the shot that extra oomph, Art set a University record this spring with a 57' 4" put in the Greater Boston Championships...
...also had to duck, just to stay alive. Midway in the last round, Mari-lynn's playing partner, Judy Kimball, missed a 3-ft. putt. Swinging her putter in teeth-grinding disgust, Judy sent it zinging right past Marilynn's ear (see cut). At least she had the sense to hold onto the handle. The penalty for throwing a club is $50, and at ladies' prices, that's no bargain. For winning the Titleholders for the second year in a row, Marilynn Smith collected $ 1,300. Mickey got $1,000, and Judy, who finished fourth...
