WINTER GOLF WAITS ).D. ROCKEFELLER Qi1 King Soon to Tnaugurate His Ninth Season at Ormond Beach. By Consolidatad Pre: ORMOND BEACH, Fla., December 20.~With the expected arrival here next week of John D. Rockefeller, the Winter golf season at this resort will be declared officlally open. This will be the ofl king's ninth season here. For the past eight seasons Mr. Rockefeller has played the Ormond Beach course every day, rain or shine It {5 his custom to appear at the first tee every day promptly at 10:30 o'clock. It is said that you can set your watch by the time of his arrival. Mr. Rockefeller usually is accom- by Gen. Adelbert Ames. Gen. Ames was a major general in the Union Armies during the Civil War, @nd is now in _his 90th year.. Gen. Ames and Mr. Rockefeller are evenly mmatched and form an ideal golfing combinatton. Plays Mainly for Exercise. Although Mr. Rockefeller plays golf malnly for exerclse, he also strives hard to play as well as possible, al- way keeping within his physical lim- itations. Ie never plays more than oight holes each day. The eighth hole on the Ormond course is close to the each road. When he reaches this ®reen, Mr. Roekefeller's automobile is waiting for him. He does not play €01t on Sundays. Mr. Rockefeller is in the S85th year of his life, yet he is quite Tobust, and he pummels the golf ball with & right vigorous swing. He has four clubs in his bag—combination driver and brassie, midiron, mashie #nd putter. In gripping the club, his right hand predominates. He ad- dresses the ball with a square stance and without any flurries or practice awings. Thers Is a note of decisive- nees about Mr. Rockefeller's game which 18 quite impressive. Once John D. was asked why he never took a practice swing before addressing the ball “In business,” replied Mr. feller, “I always made up my mind befors doing anything. And then I did That is the way I believe in play- ing golt.” Deéns Rubbers When Raim Comes. Usually the great philanthropist appears on the course attired in a £rey golf cap with heavy earlaps, ponges coat, wool sweater, long trousers and heavy tan shoes. When- over {t rains he dons rubbers. If the day is cloudy or cold, Mr. Rockefeller pulls the earlaps down over the bac of Bis head and ears. When the da is warm he wears & linen Quster. Mr. Rockefeller's average score for tbe eight holes is about 50 shots. | which {s unusually good for a mar of his age Hole No. 6 on the ¢ nd course | is Mr. Rockefeller's favorite: this is| # dog leg. If vou hook your drive| t requires a full shot to get home If you keep close to the right vou| an reach the green with an iron. | The elbow on this hole is formed by | a clump of pines and palmettoes and to be able to get to the green on vour second shot you must drive| clear of this obstacle. Mr. Rocke- feller enjoys this shot and whenever he gets off a good drive on this hole he is quite jubilant. His round for that day has been a success Regards Gen. Amew “Fine Opponent.” ! Mr. Rockefeller and Gen. Ames are | earnsst opponents. John D., in h quizzical manner, and sly wink, say: ¥ “The general makes a fine opponent His only trouble is he can't count above 4. John D. {s very jovial and pleasant on the golf links. He keeps up an &nimated conversation with his com- panions and with the little colored caddie of some 13 years, who has car- ried his bag for the past several Years.
