The Bunker Bogey Can Be Beaten

I believe that the handicap golfer can only acquire the "know-how" of good bunker play by getting right down into a bunker, and working his way out by an would frighten Ben hour of steady, sensible, practice. I don't suggest that you Hogan after your first hour, but I am pretty certain you would be getting very near the "feel" which is so much an essential of the good bunker shot.

PRE-TOUR PUBLICITY

Says ALEC BEDSER

I cannot remember a touring side arriving in England with such little advance publicity as the men from Pakistan. True, they are the "babes" of the Imperial Cricket Conference only recently granted Test status and to most followers of the game they are quite an unknown quan- tity.

But even so, used as we are to receiving tourists with a flourish of trum- pets, with much speculation as to their form and prospects, it is indeed a change for a side to slip into the country, as it were, without the man in the street being able to name at the most one or two of their players.
