HINTS FOR A BEGINNER AT THE GAME

A KINDLY GAME

Major A. J. Evans, Amateur Champion of Kent writes:-

Golf to the absolute beginner. is a kindly game, which can be played with a clear conscience and a mind unclouded by a swarm of precepts and slogans. Slow back, turn on the hips, and the rest have little or no meaning, and, consequently, no

terrors,

A beginner can concentrate on one thing only-to hit the ball. He will often miss it: What matter? An air shot" more or less la of small significance, but the joy of one it truly to the centre of the green is as the joy of Heaven over one sinner that repenteth.

The veriest tyro can hit a shot, or whole putt, that any champion would be glad to call his own; but as improvement comes, and when our beginner earns the dignity of a handicap however large, ao troubles, mental and physical, ar- rive,

I warn the beginner against that moment when he sels himself a standard, and owes it to his self- respect and sometimes to his poc- ket, to play up to it. As his know. ledge of the game increases so the thorny path to improvement is set about by a multitude of difficulties.

There will be back-slidings and cursings, and the advice he receives from numerous adepts to whom he tarus for help. will be frequently contradictory. To win through a stout heart and a strong will are essential, for progress, in ¦ spite of lessons and practice, will be slow and painful.

1931.

The Association hopes the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrew's will make a change simultaneously.

The measurements of the new ball are identical with that which the Rules of the Golf Committee of St. Andrew's announced on April 30, had been rejected, also after exhaustive experiments, this decision being cabled to the United States Goffing Association on April 16.

It is noteworthy that the Rules of the Golf Committee's announce ment said it was not proposed "at the present time" to ask the Club to authorise the change. Reuter.

At length a stage is reached when the disastrous shots in the round dwell in the memory, to be set against the super-shots which have snatched holes from the fire, when the handicap is down to single figures, when the player knows within a few how many shots he will take for the first round. Then the beginner has be- come a golfer, and is only then capable of appreciating to the full the glorious game of golf. Is it worth while going through so much to learn so little, as the small boy said when they had beaten him twice, through the alphabet? Be ginners must accept the assurance of those who have trodden the path that golf is worth all this effort.

For a business man not in his first youth neither cricket nor foot- ball are entirely satisfactory, and they are both seasonal gaines.

For the health walking is the best exercise, but during a quiet country walk business problems are spt to simmer in the mind. Golf, besides being good for the liver, provides a microcosmos' whose joys and sorrows outweigh the after- noon, the worries of the bigger world.
