Formerly powerful in America brings to mind Getty..but I can't tie that to a golf ball or anything to do with golf !!

30a. Butte ?

Shaney I was thinking along similar lines with John Gotti- the Mob boss. As you say it is difficult to tie to the clue but being an advanced cryptic it's not supposed to be easy.
Thanks for your input. K

kayakamina: If it's advanced cryptic then ignore my Butte. I based it on the Chambers definition of Butte plus there being an Isle of Butte in Scotland. But hardly qualifies as cryptic.

I have now got 30a Ettle... a Scottish word meaning purpose. (S) ettle.

That means that 25d is ?ett?. Must be Shaney's Paul Getty but why?

gutty = another name for gutta, a golf ball & u.s. informal term for powerful. both found in chambers!!

Thank you MLN

kayakamina - Sorry for jumping in with that GENRE explanation, but I really wanted to bring to the attention of the "poster" that he asked for a 6-lettered word, when the answer had only 5 letters!

That was a silly error on his part that was unnecessary.
