A. _ _ -. F Acen sponsor been quoted in a re ing that he might Dallas Amateur by the name of Arnold Salinas on Shenro tour next year. The reason according to Lee Arnold is the greatest Putter in the world. He s better than i am Ard i m the ignoring Trevino s typical double talk there s one thing that an of us who attended the Usa eur Golf tournament at Heidelberg last fall will agree with him on Arnie Salinas is a real Tiger witha Putter in his hands. Salinas placed second in the Usa eur meet last year when he blew a five stroke Lead on the last nine holes and lost to Barr Terjesen y one stroke on the final Hole of play. But second though he might have been Arnie was certainly the biggest Money Winner during the four Days of play. The winnings came on the practice putting Green of the Heidel Berg course that was Salinas Domain each Day after the comple Tion of his competitive round until dark. Anyone with a Putter Anda Golf Ball was Welcome. Match play stroke play you name the game and the amount. There was always a group of five or six golfers playing around the nine Hole putting course. The supporting cast might change from round to round but the Central character Arnie Salinas was the focal Point of the play. Tou Guys think i m too Good for you Arnie would ask Ashe reaped his Harvest after a round. Okay Well play the next round with one hand. That ought to make things More  or you play left handed Okay i  putt left handed to give you a  i heard various estimates of his take for the four Days. I won to into any of them because there May be still some golfers in the area who Are even yet trying to explain to their wives Why it costs much to live for four Days in Heidelberg during the tournament. Take it from me or from a Bunch of Guys who Learned the Hardway through their hip pockets Lee Trevino is absolutely Correct when he says Arnold Salinas is a great Putter. I talked to Salinas after he had turned in a two under Par 70 on the Heidelberg course for a five stroke Lead on the first Day of the Usa eur tourney. I asked him the usual questions about his background Golf experience etc., and then i asked him about his aspirations in the world of Golf. Well he said i m getting out of the army in a few month Sand going Back to Dallas. I be got a Good buddy playing on the tour this year and i want to join him As soon As i can qualify. We replayed Golf together most of our lives and we re going to play the tour and Pool our winnings. His name Lee Trevino. Ever hear of him i had to confess that i had t heard of Lee Trevino but a subsequent search through Back issues of the stars and stripes did bring the name to Light in the Small print of the Golf scores in several tournaments on the tour. No. He has t won much Money this year. But keep your eyes on him. He s Good and i m just As Good Iso Between us we should be cleaning up on the tour in a year or  nothing modest about Arnie. Trevino refreshing9 so now it appears that Arnie will be Able to join his buddy on the tournament circuit next year. What a pair that should make Ever since Trevino won the . Open this year the stateside sportswriters have been referring to his cocky Plain spoken style As re rT8" and a change of Pace among Golf s celebrities. Wait until they get Salinas along with Lee. Arnie s always got time for Wisecrack. Even while he was blowing that five stroke Lead last septem Berie maintained his Jaunty attitude right Down to the wire. After pushing a shot off into the deep rough on the 14th Hole Arni turned around to the gallery with his Normal Grin and said boy 0101 mess that one up and after Terjesen Sank a three footer on number 17 to pull into a tie with his fourth straight one putt thatcns\llil1as just Rohed his eyes up to the sky and told anybody a might have been within earshot that Guy is just about As Good with a Putter As 1  after he had missed a 30-Inch putt on the final Green for a Gey Arnie came Over to the Side of the Green to watch Terjesen 1 "1 is putt of about the same distance.

Hell Man Herino t new was a loser on the first Hole this morning refer to a double bogey six he look in starting. The Dew was still when he took off with the first group at 8 .
