Th: architecture of golf is being keenly discussed. If the experts, have their way, the long-handicap man is in for a rough time in future rough in two senses of the word. Good golf-courses, it is said, are arbitrary. One bad shot should spoil the hole for the golfer.

I have to confess that thear mechanical shot producers remind me of the circus horse.

That admirable animal is a master- piece of intelligence in the ring, but take him out of it and he has far leys understanding than any horse of the streets.

So with "one way" golf-courses. Where there is but one correct

In other words, there should be one spot on which to place every shot; every failure to find that spot should severely complicate the next shut. On every course that is worthy to be called a course, a driveway to play a hule, and where and that is sliced or hooked finda trou- thing but the strictly correct shot ble.

Not A Sanctuary.

Even the edge of the fairway must not be a sanctuary, for unless the shot is dead straight, the golfer should rightly find a tree or some other obstacle barring his approach to the green.

Greens should be constructed. say the modern designers, so that there i only one correct angle from which to approach them. Any other approach should rob the player of a stroke.

they say, and no other. And the

only shot they can produce is that shot-though they may, indeed, produce it very well.

The classic courses of old were not so.

Wide fairways were customary, and the greens were watered only by the skies. Those mach-criticised green, that trap the bold player help the timid golfer who plays short were never designed actually to do anything of the sort-for the simple

reason that the architect took his land as he found it, slope Included, and made a green.

Tightly-Trapped Greens. Tightly-trapped greens are wel!- marked greens, and often far easier to play up to than greens that are not clearly defined by bunkera.

That, perhaps, is the difference between a great course as golfers of the old school understand it, and a

recommended, and the golfer who plays short should find more trouble than the man who plays over the pin.

A first thought is this-that such a course must demand thorough watering of the greens. A golfer who has braved a narrow fairway, and found the right angle for his approach, may well be aggrieved if a well-directed shot with an iron strays over the green after finding It. Watering should ensure that any well-aimed shot with a reason- ably high trajectory will stop on the green if it pitches on it.

I am not absolutely certain that tightly-trapped courses, with par- row fairways, do make the best golfer.

They certainly make mechanical- ly-perfect golfers of men who are willing to apply themselves to golf with great diligence. A player who knows that a aliced drive will take him into a stone quarry or into a

theories. The old course tested the intelligence of the player; with a minimum of equipment, he had to bring judgment of distance and direction to his aid.

The new courses tend to make golf simpler while attempting to complicate it.

Given one correct shot, and one only, the game turns on whether or not you can produce that shot. The rest hardly matters.

Is that golf?

My own happiest recollections are of great recoveries, and of reaching a familiar green in the prescribed number of shots by a route rather

Tight courses undoubtedly do penalise the "slogger," but unfortunately-they tend to minimise the need for in- telligence. The perfect course, in my view, is tightly trapped, but it is not entirely "one-way" in its demands on the golfer.- (China Mail Copyright).

Of all the exciting Rugby, moments in the Rugby International match

between Ireland and Wales-and there were many of them-one stood out above all others.

Arigho had effected a beautiful! cut through the Welsh defence, and ́ ́ there was only Bassett between him and the line. Outside Aright was Murphy, unmarked and waiting for the pass which would mean a cer- tain score. It was an nwkward position for Bassett, but he saw stand-off half, Ralph, the Welsh coming across to attempt to tackle Arigho, Bassett immediately sign- ed to Ralph to take the slower Murphy, while he himself advanced upon Arigho and forced him to pass. Ralph and the ball reached Murphy simultaneously, and the line was Raved.
