Pinehurst Gun Club Managers Are In
Heaven Here,’ And New Lodge Looks It
(Pilot photo)
“We think we’re in heaven
now,” said Mrs. Norman A. Am-
stutz, wife of the new lessee and
manager of the Pinehurst Gun
Club, in speaking of their move
here from city life in Lima, Ohio.

perched on a hiil, over miles and
miles of autumn-splashed valleys,
golden, bronze and emerald, it’s
easy to believe she’s right.
Both big, blond Norman
“Jiggs” Amstutz and his dark
haired, dark-eyed wife, are hand
some, vigorous and outgoing, and
seem to suit perfectly the sport
which is now their business.
They operated a small, private
gun club in Ohio for some years,
as a “hobby,” said Mrs. Amstutz.
They are familiar with the area,
having come to the Mid Pines
Club as guests for about 15 years.
One of their Sandhills friends
who entertained for them late
in the summer to “introduce
them to some of the people they
will be having as neighbors,” ad
mitted laughingly that the Am
stutzes already had met and
were on first-name terms with
just about everybody there.
The couple has five children,
two sons in northern schools and
three who are at the Pinehurst
School. They expect to move
soon from a Southern Pines
apartment into the Robert W.
White house which they have
bought, on Linden Road.
Prior to the Sunday opening
of the Gun Club at full season
schedule (Sunday through Sat
urday 1:30-6 pm; Wednesday,
1:30-10 pm) the Amstutzes host
ed an open house at the Lodge
for area management executives

minutes off traveling time and fitting in well

“I think people liked the
place,” commented Mrs. Amstutz,
in probably the largest under
statement of the week, "rhe just-
completed lodge was built on the
site of the old Gun Club, where
Annie Oakley and her husband,
Frank Butler, taught Pinehurst
residents how to shoot while liv
ing fit the Carolina Hotel in the
early ’20’s.
Taste and comfort keynote the
new club, which replaces the one
burned down in July. The whole
interior is carpeted in warm
brown and orange pile that is
both decorative and practical and
is, further, a North Carolina pro
duct—from Burlington.
The spacious lounge has a
built-in wall speaker for record
ed music; tables at one end
which look out over the modern
ized skeet and trap fields, and is
lighted by wheel-type “chande
liers” hanging from dark wood
beams. The walls are white.
At the room’s other end is a
huge fireplace with chairs placed
around it. The furniture, said
Mrs. Amstutz, was made by a
man in Akron, Ohio, who began
experimenting in the construc
tion of chairs and tables from
used whiskey casks, and has hit
the jackpot with his “better
mousetrap.” Down the hall are a
small, office and the locker room
fitted with a long, curved coun
ter.
Mr. Amstutz hopes to add in
terest to the decor by having
framed some of his growing col
lection of photographs of Annie
Oakley, to hang on the walls.
The possibility of leasing the
clubhouse for evening parties is
considered for the future, said
the new managers, who are 10-
year lessees of the facilities from
Pinehurst, Inc.
First tournament scheduled
following Sunday’s opening, is
also a premiere here—the first
Annie Oakley Trapshooting
Championship for Women, No
vember 6, 7 and 8. Seven hun
dred targets will be shot in the
event which is Registered ATA,
USA. The prizes are all silver,
and the Annie Oakley Trophy is
a silver five-pronged candelabra.
A good one to watch in this
tournament is Ann Ewing who
has been “practicing her head
off.” Ann, wife of newspaper
man, businessman and GOP can
didate for the State House Bob
Ewing, is a two-time N. C. State
trapshooting champ, and was
champion in New Jersey also be
fore coming to Southern Pines to
live.
