A golfer in a club recently made object of relieving congested what seemed a foolish wager-that courses.

*. Actually the player returned a net 78, and came in on the stroke of his time.

He used five caddies posted down the fairways to avoid any searching for the ball, but apart from that he played a normal round of golf in unusual time, and returned what was, for him, an exceptional score.

The Secret of Golf.

|

The way to play golf is to move up to the ball without any waste of time, and without any anxiety. Having inspected the le, the club should be chosen. After that, until the ball is flying on its way, the game should become slow,

Slowness at the wrong time spoils many a round, because it leads to hostincas at the wrong time.

I have never known a good putter A Scot supplied a élue to the who was irritatingly slow in setti- (feat.

ing down to his ball. I have seen ome magnificent putters who moved the club 1s though In 2 dream, but that slowness at the right time. It is walking round the ball with à fixed frown, and looking at it from every angle, that is to be con- demued, because it leads to haste when the actual stroke is to be made.

"When I learned my game on an artisans course," he said, "there was nupe of this three-hours-a- round business. We waited in n queue to begin, and once we were off we wasted no time; each man earried his own clubs, and strode after the ball as though he were in a Marathon."

"But didn't that spoil your game?" we asked.

"Not a bit Move briskly be- tween your shots, and you are glad of a breather when you reach the ball, You swing slowly and with conscious steadiness and that is the secret of golf."

.

I think there is a lot to be said

for the theory."

The Golfer Today, The golfer to-day is apt to walk slowly Lubm shot to shot, fretting over the le he'will find, and invent- ing problems for himself. He won- ders whether he will be socketing his iron shots as he was last week, and whether it would be better to force with a mashie or play a spared shot with a spoon.

By the time he reaches the ball, he is in a state of mental exhaug tion but he has ample in fact, too much physical energy.

+

Many good putters, I have noticed, contrive to pass the hole as they walk up to the ball, so that they get a quick glance at the contour of the green from hole to ball. Then they get behind the ball for a moment, to see the contour from ball to hole. That is all the matter of a second or so. It is the actual movement and follow-through of the club that is slow.

The actual time taken by a player over a round of golf must depend on individual temperament; there are no fixed rules. What would seem a great hurry to one player might: stili prove annoyingly slow to another.

He is like a player who has spared himself for a supreme.phy sical effort. Unfortunately for him, supreme physical effort is totally unnecessary in golf. The player of superabundant energy fails by ex- cess of enthusiasm. The golfer who uses more physical energy in mov-refuses to be rattled by the alowe ing between shots pinces a curb on his swing, and also on his mental outlook Having paused between intervals of moving quickly, he is I am convinced that a number of ready and willing to swing slowly. golfers would achieve greater con-
