PAL Publishing Paul A. Luscombe Author of Play the Game Right, Give Dad a Mulligan and Howard Powerless--The Rise & Fall of the Howard Savings Bank. "Play the Game Right" is the biography of Coach Butch van Breda Kolff from the arrival of "Wilt the Stilt" Chamberlain on Los Angeles Lakers to the Leopards finishing 19-10, winning the regular season East Coast Conference title, with a major upset of nationally ranked Notre Dame. "Give Dad a Mulligan" is a true story about how a husband and wife team playing in a mixed double tournament at Baltlusrol Golf Club argued over whether or not to award a Mulligan on the first hole. "Howard Powerless"--The Rise & Fall of the Howard Savings Bank, tells the story of the years leading up to the McCormick administration. The Howard was the envy of the other NJ banks as the ideal place to work. But this laid back manner plus some awkward attempts at transferring power may have set the bank up to be used by the abuse of power.

Chatham author pens a book on golf

CHATHAM - Baltusrol Golf Club, Pin Valeey, Esxxex County Country Club and the Apple Mountain Golf Club are among the courses described in the book, "Give Dad a Mulligan," written by Paul A. Luscombe, a Carmine Street resident.

The book includes an interoductory section on the role of Mulligans as well as a glossary depicting the most common types of Mulligans used in

today's golf circles.

The 60-page book, pulbished by PAL Publishing Co. of Chatham, retails for $12 per-copy and is available in local bookstores and at golf course pro shops in the area.

This is Luscombe's second book. In November 2001, he broke into the published book market with "Play the Game Right," the biography of basketball coach Butch van Breda Kollff, whose volatile career included

leading Princetion University to the Final Four in 1965 and the Lakeers to the National Basketball Association finals in 1968 and 1969.

Twelve years later, van Breda Kolff was coaching boys high school basketball in Picayune, Miss.
Luscombe's thrid book, "The Rise and Fall of the Howard Savings Bank (N.J.)" is being readied for late fall 2002 publication.

As mention in the Mulligan Book (Chapter 8) the best golfer in Paul Luscombe's family is John Baldwin, his wife's brother. John Baldwin won the Senior Open Amateur Championship. A copy of this article is found below from The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews

American claims Senior title

The United States have again produced the winner of the Senior Open Amateur Championship. New Yorker John Baldwin closed with a round of 70 to come from four shots off the pace to claim victory, one shot ahead of overnight leader, fellow American Earl Stewart, with England's Roy Smethhurst in third place. Baldwin had rounds of 76-70-70 for an aggregate of 216.

The 57-year-old from New York has won his state Amateur, Mid-Amateur and Seniors Championships and was runner-up in the French Amateur in 1983. "I didn't expect to win having been four shots behind, but I'm delighted," he said after his victory at Woodhall Spa.

Smethurst, from Crewe, was runner-up in 2000 and joint third in 1999 and again finished just two shots behind the champion.

Joel Hirsch, double winner of the title in 1996 and 2000, finished in fourth place on 221, with Anthony Smith of Hill Valley on 223 claiming a second place for home-based players in the top five.

Last year's champion Kemp Richardson of America shared sixth place with David Lane of Goring and Streatley, who won the title in 1998.
