WHEN TOMMY ARMOUR CADDIED

Prestwick Veteran's Recollection.

By NIELICK,

Golf onthusiasts in Edinburgh who have followed the fortunes of tennis in the Dispatch Trophy tournament on the Braid Hills, will be interested to hear of a meeting I had at Prestwick with J. Andrew, one of the oldest and iniost notable figures on the Ayrshire link. When I first saw him he was standing on the edge of the last green watching two of the players in the qualifying stages holing out, and it seemed to be calling back memories to him for although he still follows every move in the game throughout the world his own golfing days are

The other members of the team according to "Johnnie" were J. Queen's Park v. Ayr Un.

and B. Rangers Rankine, Sandy Armour. Rankin, and he recalled how Plew- lands reached the final in 1901, but were defeated by one hol

"The Shooder Shot."

He had a great chuckle over that, and it was some time before bu could tell me the reason of the merriment. Laughing heartily at the recollection he told me, that the elder Rankine and he were nine up playing first couple, and the men behind were ten down so they want out by the odd hole. The result, it seems, created, a great sensation at the Braids.

He was very anxious for news of the Braids clubs, and nodded,re- flectively when I mentioned that most of the old ones were still entering for the tournament, al-1 though some that existed in his time

writea were now defunct; Niblick in the Sports Dispatch.

Johnnie le a perfect walking golf' almanac, and can recall, any-incident in championships on the Prestwick course at a moment's notice. He is very p.oud of Tommy Armour's achievements at Carnoustic this year, and vouches that In his Braids days he taught the Open Champion many of the tricks in the goling trade. In ono of his Dispatch Trophy years Armour, acted as his į caddie.

Just before I left him he recalled how Armour, the last time he play ed at Prestwick, got into a naty Ile. In one of the deadly bunkers. Andrew was standing by, and after- wards the two discussed how the ball should have been played

"You remember the auld shooder: shot I showed yo," said Johnnie,
