Every golfar has his idea of the usually up a hill. The protruding most difficult course to be found corner may be guarded by trees or and few hesitate to go into details by difcult country. There are two of their own rounds over it when ways of approaching such a hole; the subject is opened in the club the first way is to play well out into house.

to cut the corner by playing over the intervening hazards..
"A difficult course?" he said, as I was playing with him. "This is ro' a difficult course. It traps only the bad shots,"
A golfer who makes his first round of the classic courses finds that there is real truth in the words of my friend the veteran. The courses that are reputed to be dif- ficult "prove to be the easiest im- aginable when you are on good terms with the ball. It is only when you are not connecting that you find those bunkers as tali as the sides of houses, the wrong approaches to terribly-guarded greens, and clumps of "tiger country" in which every sliced ball counts as a lost ball without even the trouble of a search.
"Course Fright."
It is the bad courses that nobody ever speaks about that prove really difficult.
They give the man who drives up to 200 yards a perfect le, while the player who drives twenty yards fur-
ther probably finds himself in a ditch. They have short holes where it is fatal to play for the pin, be cause a foot of error sends the ball rolling away, while to play cou- tiously for a three gives you the
chance of a fluky two.
"Course fright" is a complaint from which no golfer should allow himself to suffer.
The way to deal with hazards is to ignore them sound advice, know, but easier to give than to take. A huge bunker with shifting sand traps more balls than a bunker that most players could escape from with a putter, though the approach shut necessary to avoid the more | terrifying bunker of the two la perhaps altogether easier than the other.
Power of Recovery. Power of recovery makes the great player, and this is what many 12.30 p.m. golfers lack.
Finding themselves in trouble,
they seem to forget their normal game.

In any case, the green cannot be reached in one, and a good second shot with spoon or iron to an open green is likely to be as easy as a mashle shot from the neighbourhood of the lie around the corner that has been cut off-always assuming that you do succeed in cutting off the
corner.
The Shot Ahead.
Ability to see a shot ahead is always of value when playing over a difficult course.
愈
Take a ball that has been sliced from the tee, and is in the rough two hundred yards from
the pin. There is a chance that the ball can be got out with an Iron, but the real club for the shot is a mashie. Since the chances of the average player of reaching the green with an Iron are nil, he will be well advised to play a well-placed mashie shot on to the fairway into a position that will open-up the green to the best advantage for the third shot.
Shots out of most hazards-sand, rough grass, and water — are very much alike in technique.
The club must be brought directly down on the ball. The club makes a sharp descent and a sharp ascent, and the arms are firm. There should be no attempt to scoop at the ball. This applies to water as well as to sand or to grass. The great point is to make sure you hit the ball; it does not matter what dis- tance you get when recovering from trouble. If you get it out to
a better lle for the next shot, you
bring yourself into the fight again..
To Know When.
"Heroics" in golf should be left to the player who has nothing to lose whose only remaining chance is in desperate measures.
