1. Wes Ellis Jr., dominated golf in New Jersey for many years and won three professional tour events. He died at 52 years old from kidney disease.

Ellis won the New Jersey Open, the New Jersey P.G.A. and the Metropolitan Open in 1963. He took the New Jersey P.G.A. four consecutive years, begining in 1961.

On the tour, he won the 1958 Canadian Open, the 1959 Texas Open and the 1965 San Diego Open. He served as head pro at the Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell until 1967, then went to the Westchester Country Club in Harrison, N.Y.

3. Very good O.B. and if memory serves, Paul Runyan (aka Little Poison) a short hitter, but an exceptional putter won both events that the hole was enlarged. He simply made even more putts than before.

BTW, Runyan attend a few seminars with Mr. Kelley. Kelley thought Runyan was a marvelous student of the game.
