WEDNESDAY. augU8T1TI "W Exhibitioner For all those golfers who crave jthe golf ball as hard as can off the tee, but have with the short game, Gary Hambright is your kind of golfef. \ • Hambright can hit the golf ball a ton off the tee. In fact, he shows &f his golf ball slugging skills far a living. He is a long ball hitting exhibitioner and travels around the nation. He is employed by Taylor Made Golf Company for this purpose. He was in McHenry last week Thursday in a brief visit at the Taylor World headquarters. . "I just tryrto show people how far a golf ball can'; go," said Hambright. "I talk about power and how to create it. How to hit it a long ways. I show them how to create club head speed by using a retaining angle on the golf swing." Hambright had just come from several clinics in the Chicago area. Besides putting on clinics, the 25-year-old Hambright (days on a golf tour. Not a regular golf tour. This golf tour involves hitting the golf ball the farthest on some of the longest fairways in the country. The last contest he was in­ volved in was at Lake Tahoe in the Ceasars 400. 6e took a sixth with a 338-yard drive. His longest drive of his career is a 462-yard drive at Lake Tahoe in 1962. This kind of golf ball hitting skill isn't bad when you consider Hambright has been only playing the game of golf for 5% years. He was a baseball and football player during his first year at Santa Anna Junior College in Southern California. A football injury forced him out of both baseball and football, He went out golfing for the first time that summer with a couple buddies. Although he didn't even break 100, he was so intrigued with the game, he spent a whole month just hitting golf balls. He went back on the goB come, and a shot a 61. He tried out for the golf team and was all-conference his sophomore year with a 78.5 scoring average. He got involved in the long ball hitting aspect of the game when the big break came his way. "I just happen to be in the right place at the right time," Ham­ bright explained on how Taylor Made discovered him. He had tried out a Taylor Blade metal< wood and came back to the clubhouse to purchase one: A Taylor Made salesman happened to be there and he reported back to the office about Hambright. It wasn't lone after that Hambriffht was for than. i contacted by Taylor to th*»m 0 Gary Hambright "I was afraid," said Ham­ bright on his first job out of college. "I never took a speech class. I never could talk in front of a group of people. I have come a long ways from day one." Hambright says he now does about 16 to 20 clinics a year. "The biggest thing a person has to -do when hitting the golf ball hard, is swinging within them­ selves. Most people hit with a casting motion. They throw the arms out. They have lost 85 percent of the power." In the national long driving event, Hambright said throe of the six top golfers were touring professionals. "They know how to swing within themselves. The tour players are so solid. Lon Hinkle, a touring professional, won it. Other touring professionals who have success in long ball hitting mentioned by Hambright are Fuzzy Zoeller, Tom Purtzer and Fred Couples. >, Besides just showing people how to hit long drives, Hambright says he also "emphasises the safety of golf. I hit a drive through a quarter-inch of plywood to show how dangerous a golf ball can be. Hambright does play in several golf tournaments through the year, so he doe* play the regular game of golf. "I'm about * three han- dicapper off the tee, but a is handicapper from. 150 yards and "There is a difference between hitting ̂ l̂ub'hwrd^[ruf long ball hitting tournament, you hit five golf ball and just try tofiî as hard as you can. You are. not penalized for hitting out-of- bounds. You are in a round of golf." • . . To improve his distances, Hambright works on different strength exercises. "I work on strength hand strength and muscles in the thumb and first finger. Also grippressure. I work very hard on forearm strength. So much for the regular game of golf. Now there is the home run version. • .•* * Recreational 12 Inch (ContiniMKl from pag* 6) while pitcher Charlie Todd not only added three strike outs to his record, but aided his own cause by batting two-for-three with two RBI's.

In the 1952 sport pages, one headline ro&d, Tigers blast Shamrocks 22-3 at John- sburg," another read in the 1954 pages, "Johnsburg takes fall classic with 7-2 win over Shamrocks. The McHenry Shamrocks also won their share. One headline read in 1952, "Shamrocks beat Johnsburg 8-5; Morenz homers." Johnsburg also enjoyed a fierce rivalry with Richmond. The Tigers swept honors when they won the 1952 Illinois Championship. Besides the huge first place trophy, Johnsburg's Joe Jackson was the Most Valuable Player and George Jackson won the sportsman award. The Tigers defeated Elgin 2-1, the defending champions at . the Elgin ball diamond for the state title. Chuck Hiller played on that team. "In those years we had so many good ballplayers," said Hiller. "Given the chance, so many ballplayers could have played professional ball. A lot of soouts came to the bigger games towards the aid of the season. "We were lucky our age. There were so many good ballplayers to help us become good ballplayers. "A lot of the old timers played until they couldn't. Another highlight for Hiller were the trips to Stateville Prison. Hiller and Freund remember many tough games with the inmates. "First they would give you, a big meal, then put you on thefleld right away," said Freund. "They didn't have real good pitching, but had strong hitting." Baseball in the early days was the big entertainment for people, according to both Freund and Hiller. "Baseball back then was so great, you wouldn't believe it," Freund said. "Cars would be parked all around the fence. By game time you couldn't find an open spot. Just passing the hat for a collection produced a couple $100. "There was no television and not everyone goes golfing like today. Everybody waited all week long for the ballgame."
