...Last June, as an unheralded amateur, Fleckman led the U.S. Open after 54 holes-only to collapse with a last-round 80. A health-food enthusiast (honey, brewers' yeast, wheat germ), Fleckman borrowed $6,500 to finance his fling at the tour and won the first pro tournament he entered: last year's Cajun Classic. Some pros insist that Fleckman does not follow through properly, and flips the club during his downswing. But he is making that flawed swing...
...started playing golf only seven years ago, and his record is almost as flashy as Fleckman's. In 1965, he became the first player in 54 years to win the U.S. Amateur on his first try. Bob plans to get married next month because "the tour is no place for a bachelor." Last week, outfitted with a new set of irons, Murphy won $2,100 in the Doral Open and announced: "I'm playing with more ease every week...
...TREVINO, 28, 5 ft. 10 in., 180 Ibs., entered the U.S. Marines as a fairway hacker and emerged as a polished player-after a tour of duty on Okinawa, where "we had 'greens' covered with sand an inch or two deep."

Committed now to the tour ("You don't have to put up with the little old ladies here"), Lee skips rope and does situps, is often...
...experience, as a neophyte to competitive golf. But Beman only turned pro last year, after a distinguished simon-pure career during which he won the U.S. Amateur (twice) and the British Amateur, played five times on the U.S. Walker Cup teams. Unlike the other newcomers to the tour, Beman is a short hitter, but he makes up for it with the uncanny accuracy of his approaches and putts, and last month he tied Arnold Palmer for first place at the $100,000 Bob Hope Desert Classic in California-only to finish second after a sudden-death playoff. "Deane will...
...snaggle-horned reindeer to groceries for Catholic missions at Eskimo villages on the Chuckchee Sea. Among their touchdown locations: Goodnews Bay, site of a platinum mine, and Katmai, where N.C.A. owns a world-famous trout camp. In 1967, Wien hauled some 5,000 passengers on its packaged Arctic tour, winding up at the line's Kotzebue Hotel location...
