WHY TWO PUTTS PER GREEN ?

A New Standard.

The other day I met a golfer who had ruined his game by thinking in terms of moral victories.

My point is that he thought that he might.

Hagen has been accused of being "A moral four," he would say, the greatest showman in golf. It having falled to sink a two-foot putt is a pity, then, that some other ; for it. Or, morally, I lost that players are not better showmen. hole with my spoon shot," he would comment, having made a splendid recovery with a mashie and halved ite

Several of his winning fours were "moral fives." while his losing sixes were just as often "moral fours."

Apparently he worked on a rigid two-putts-per-green standard. If his approach shots brought him to the green in two, that hole was a moral four, even if he sent his first putt yards beyond and failed with the re- turn. If two approach shots took him into a bunker guarding the green, that was a moral five, even though the ball trickled into the hole following his explosion shot out and gave him a three.

Two Puits Per Green.. Nothing seems more certain to me J. B. Chapman, T. Grimes, N. than that golf cannot be played by Drummond and J. Ferguson taking putta for granted in this (Skip).

The "moral-victory" mentality must be fatal, because you cannot make golf a mechanical game.

"Mental Putting".

A player who finds himself with a twenty-yard chip shot to win the hole ought to be optimistic about sinking it. Few golfers in a play ing career of any length have not brought off these triumphs. The more a player, believes he has a real chance of achieving them, the less accidental does the achievement be- come.

One thing is certain — that the two-putts-per-green standard is not good enough to-day.

SWIMMING SEASON.

"Orange" Buses for Repulse Bay.

Facilities are being provided for. prompt and comfortable transport to the beach at Repulse Bay during the bathing season. In past years one has had to wait some time be- fore getting to the beach and back owing to the small number of buses then running on the route, but the spacious vehicles of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels will supply the much-needed cheap transport to visitors at the popular bathing resort. The time-table is quite at- tractive as it provides for a stay until late in the evening.

As from to-morrow, the Hong Kong Hotel Garage will place special buses on the run daily, the Arst leaving the Hotel at 2.30 p.m., and thereafter about every half an hour. The first return journey is .at 5 o'clock and the last at 8.80 p.m. The fare for adults Is 40 cents for the single journey and 75 conta return, while children are allowed a specially reduced rate.
