Show Big Links Future Looms for Vines (Continued from Preeedln Pace) when I needed one. That Is, a winning shot most of the time. I have carried that feeling into golf. When I need a par or a birdie to win or square a match. I step up to the ball feeling just the same as I do when I have to bring off a forehand placement or a service ace. In other words, I am accustomed accus-tomed to pressure. You don't play through Wimbledon, Davis cup matches and Forest Hills without with-out getting that." Vines gives George Lott, his former Davis cup partner, credit for starting him off in golf. "George used to beat the socks off me at golf," Vines laughed, "and one day I told him I was going to learn the game, just to be able to beat him. George made me three bets that day. He bet me S90 that I never would qualify for the national amateur, K0 that I never would qualify for the open and $50 that I never would shoot 300 or better in a 72-hole tournament." My guess is that Brother Lott is going to lose $130 before 1938 becomes 193. |
